the challenge: 

To decrease real estate by 30% and utilise the remaining space to balance efficiencies and support the effectiveness of employees.

the background: 

Steria, a leading European IT-enabled business services provider with offices in central London, occupied two floors of a 10 floor building. The real estate team were under pressure to make cost saving across the business and were looking to decrease the amount of space occupied in central London by approximately 30%.  Space utilisation data showed average occupancy at 40%. 

These challenges lead the Steria team to engage Steelcase workscan3.  Steelcase workscan3 is an in-depth assessment of an organisations work, worker and workplace requirements resulting in space allocation recommendations, findings report and concept floor plans.

the solution: 

Following the workscan3 engagement, Steria was able to clearly see how their space could be a client destination and support their mobile workforce while still maintaining and improving its function as a primary workspace for the residential teams.
