Why Are We Still Talking About The Return To Office?
Complete our registration form to access this webinar.
In 2025, average UK office occupancy was around 40%, the highest level since the pandemic but still well below pre-pandemic norms. As organisations continue to bring people back into the office, they are doing so against a backdrop of rising energy costs, underused buildings, and unpredictable attendance. Too often, these challenges are addressed separately, without a clear workplace strategy or the data needed to make informed decisions.
In this webinar, we’ll explore why 'return to office' still matters - and how real estate, facilities, and wellbeing leaders can use workplace data to shape a cohesive office strategy that works. We’ll share independent insights into the technologies available, and how to use them to align on occupancy, energy use, and employee wellbeing.
Join us to discover:
- How challenges such as high energy consumption, vacant space, and no-show desk bookings are linked.
- How to use workplace technologies and data as inputs into a broader workplace strategy, rather than treating them as point solutions.
- How a strategic approach to hybrid working, office design, and employee wellbeing can improve utilisation, productivity, and long-term performance.
