Physical workspace
What is a physical workspace?
The physical workspace is the actual place where people work and everything in it: the building, floors, desks, meeting rooms, furniture and equipment. It sits alongside the digital workspace of apps and data, and together they make up the workplace.
What it includes
- Desks, meeting rooms and other spaces
- Furniture, equipment and AV
- Reception, kitchens and shared areas
- Layout, light, sound and air
Physical and digital together
Meetings connect the two: they are planned in the calendar, but need a physical room, equipment, perhaps catering and a welcome for guests. When these are handled in separate systems, details get lost.
How AskCody supports it
AskCody connects the physical workspace to Microsoft 365: rooms, desks, services and visitors are booked from Outlook, and workplace analytics shows how the physical space is used.
