Space management
What is space management?
Space management is the work of planning, allocating and running office space so it fits how people actually work. It covers how much space an organization needs, how it is divided into desks, meeting rooms and shared areas, and how that space is booked and used day to day.
What space management relies on
Good decisions need data: how often rooms and desks are booked, how many people attend meetings compared with the seats available, and when demand peaks. Without it, space is planned on assumptions and complaints.
Common decisions
- How many desks to keep for hybrid attendance
- Whether to convert large rooms into smaller ones
- Where to place team neighborhoods
- Which rules to set for booking rooms and desks
How AskCody supports space management
AskCody workplace analytics reports time and capacity utilization for rooms and desks from the bookings in Microsoft Exchange, filtered by location, room type and period, and booking rules control who can book what.
