Panel Discussion: Creating Standardized Definitions of Accurate Utilization Measures for Better Benchmarking
Patrick Hoffman -
Senior Vice President, Corporate Real Estate and Services,
Syneos Health
Across the board, we are all occupying space for the benefit of a company. Because each organization develops their own way of defining utilization, benchmarking becomes difficult. Can we all agree on one metric to measure utilization of corporate real estate as a company asset, so we can conduct benchmarking? Join this discussion to hear the benefit of agreeing on a utilization metric to better understand how assets are being used and the impact of a hybrid world.
- What is the best way to measure capacity (supply of space)? Number of workstations is a design decision, why not look at rentable sq. ft.?
- What is the best way to measure office use (demand for space)? Is this attendance at one time, over the course of a day, week, month?
- How does a hybrid setting impact this where use is more unpredictable?
