Relogix, an occupancy analytics provider for hybrid workplace monitoring and performance, revealed its premiere benchmarking report on the current state of global workspaces in 2022 and key areas to watch in 2023.

Using data from over 250 office spaces across banking, technology, and consumer goods customers in North America and Europe, the report delves into how spaces are being used during defined business hours and the significant cost implications revealed in workspace usage and design.

The data reveals that workspaces were under-utilized by 35 to 40 per cent even before the onset of the pandemic. This trend has only continued to grow as occupancy levels drop further.

For offices based in North America, the average occupancy in 2019 was 64.37 per cent, equivalent to 3.2 days out of a five-day work week. This compares to just 29.74 per cent or 1.49 days per week in 2022.

When looking at data from April 2022, the average occupancy of 34 per cent remained exactly the same in September 2022. This was despite companies strongly encouraging employees to return to the office. This trend suggests the large-scale resistance to return-to-office mandates, and indicates how valuable the flexibility of hybrid culture is to employees.
