Hybrid work does not automatically mean a smaller office. It changes what the office needs to do. Instead of planning only around total headcount, focus on simultaneous attendance and the activities people come to the office for.
Measure simultaneous use
Look at the busiest office days, not only weekly averages. If everyone chooses the same days to come in, the workplace still needs enough capacity for those peaks.
Collaboration becomes more important
Hybrid work can reduce the number of permanent desks while increasing demand for team rooms, project spaces and informal meeting areas.
Video calls need acoustic privacy
Hybrid work often creates more online meetings during office days. Phone booths, retreat rooms and good acoustic zoning help prevent calls from disturbing focused work.
Shared facilities can complement your own office
Spektri’s bookable meeting rooms and 88-person auditorium provide additional capacity when larger meetings are needed.
Frequently asked questions
Does every employee need their own desk?
Not necessarily. The answer depends on simultaneous attendance and how work is organised.
Does hybrid work always reduce square metres?
No. Workstations may decrease while meeting, retreat and collaboration areas increase.
