The way businesses use office space

is changing, but not necessarily shrinking

to the extent that many people believe,

according to experts in space utilisation

and planning at JLL Project and Development Services,

a division of global professional services

firm Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL).

While some companies are definitely seeking

to reduce their space, many are simply swapping

“me” space for “we” space. Individual footprints

are smaller, but spaces meant to be common,

collaborative, or for clients are increasing, thus

reversing the percentages allocated to each, explains JLL.

As an example, the company notes that for one

international high-tech client the amount of space

they formerly had was approximately 70 percent

employee allocated and 30 percent customer/collaborative.

Their new space is exactly the opposite in allocation,

but the total space remains consistent.

Allocating workspace in today’s dynamic business

environment is a challenge. How do you manage

moves and shifting workgroups — never mind

track the phones, computers and copiers your

staff rely on everyday? OfficeSpace Software provides

these solutions.
