Reimagine your workplace
Practical steps to protect people and spaces
Where and how we work has never seemed so complicated.
As we plan for the return back - to public structures, corporations, and campuses – how we manage our buildings and our spaces, and how occupants engage with that space to do their work, is critical.
Whether you’ve remained open as an essential service or are considering how to bring people back, it’s imperative that you prepare a space in which workers feel protected.
To do that, you need to:
- Monitor and manage occupancy to optimize space utilization.
- Organize spaces and provide workplace services to ensure occupant safety.
- Ensure readiness across your facilities by adhering to new protocols and processes.
As you develop the nuts and bolts of your strategy, there are some practical tasks that will help you prepare your facilities to meet the new demands:
Monitor occupancy to support new capacity policies
Create temporary space plans for social distancing
Enable more reservable spaces to book in advance
Deliver workplace services for employees
Manage new facilities cleaning and maintenance projects
Monitor inventory by location for critical supplies

Dig into occupancy
Measure the metric that matters the most
As you build your return to the workplace strategy, one of the most important metrics you need is occupancy utilization.
Whether your workforce has shifted from corporate cubes to home-based, or you offer essential services that require fully operational buildings, you need to know who is using your space, at any time, all the time.
Key questions to ask:
- Who is occupying my facilities and when?
- Are there opportunities to consolidate space?
- Should we reconfigure or repurpose existing space?
If you’re making critical space decisions with manually intensive work and less-than-perfect data, now you can harness your information, make informed decisions based on real-time occupancy insights, and react quickly to changing business demands.
IBM TRIRIGA and Cisco have teamed up to give you the tools you need to deploy location sensing using your existing WiFi network infrastructure. Scale quickly and get faster, more accurate occupancy insights. It’s the fastest way to reimagine and streamline your spaces.

Jump-start your projects
Get your facilities ready to reopen
Preparing your facilities to be their safest means rigorous and constant adherence to new standards. That can lead to new projects.
You may need to:
- Install high-efficiency air filters, hand sanitizing stations, no-touch trash cans, barriers between desks or workstations
- Provide access to Personal Protective Equipment
- Increase air ventilation rates in the work environment
- Install new signage
- Reconfigure spaces for social distancing protocols
You may also need to enhance your maintenance and operations routine tasks including:
- New maintenance, cleaning and disinfecting protocols
All of these — while necessary — take resources at a time when your company might be facing economic challenges.
A capital planning tool can help. The most effective capital planning starts with a comprehensive view of your current infrastructure. Then, you can include any new efforts you need to take, track those along with your other ongoing costs of repairs and scheduled maintenance. You’ll have a holistic picture that lets you predict maintenance, refurbishment, or replacement timelines and cost.
