By taking advantage of a detailed workplace consultancy package, you’ll uncover what’s really happening in your workplace, ensuring that you make successful and well-informed business decisions. Plus you’ll be achieving peace of mind about the future of your workspace.

Detailed analysis for long-term choices

Whatever you’re looking to achieve from your workplace project, you’ll need to take account of facts and figures as well as hearts and minds to ensure you reach a truly successful end result. Our unique approach uses both tangible and intangible data to get under the skin of your workspace and provide detailed and accurate data which we make easy for you to interpret.

Why research?

Workplace consultancy backed up by research helps to inform your business decisions. Financial, operational and people-related challenges can be overcome or assisted by an intelligent approach to your workspace and property needs. You’ll be letting your people perform at their best, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing operational costs. Data-driven analysis is a crucial part of any consultancy package but is often overlooked in the office design industry.

Things are changing fast in the world around us, and today’s workplace needs to embrace agile working. Undertake the right research and you can ensure you’re adapting to changes in your marketplace, as well as accommodating shifting staff numbers and adapting to new approaches to work.

How it works, step by step:

1. You’ll first need to set up your steering team and establish your workplace consultancy brief. We can work with you to help you formulate your brief if required.
2. To ensure success, you’ll also need to draw up your long-term business objectives so we can ensure our research will generate the data you need to see.
3. Once we’ve established what you’re looking to achieve, we’ll collaborate to discover the best forms of research for your needs.
4. Next you’ll enter into the data gathering stage. We’ll undertake research and carry out necessary observations. A range of different data collection means will be used, including our app technology, user focus groups and surveys.
5. Once your data is gathered, we’ll interpret and present findings back to your workplace team. This will include possible opportunities for change, helping you make informed decisions, such as whether to relocate or refurbish your space.
6. If you wish to take it further, we can convert your data into a detailed space plan design for your building, or help you find the building that will suit your needs.
7. We’d hope by this stage that we’ve proved the worth of the Habit Action evidence-based design and build model, and you’d want to partner with us for the build stage of your project.
8. Once your new workspace is completed, we offer follow-up analysis of your space to ensure it’s performing as it should be, as well as ongoing support as you integrate your team into their new office. Rest assured that we’re focused on client care, and are always looking for a long-term partnership in all of our dealings with you. To us, the ongoing daily success of your new workspace is more important than completing the initial project.
