Adapting to Hybrid Work: The Meeting Room Challenge
With employees working hybrid and collaboration being the main reason to come to the office, every in-office interaction has a big chance of becoming a spontaneous meeting–placing significant pressure on the meeting room availability.
Now imagine you are responsible for optimizing meeting spaces across four offices, each having 150 rooms. On average these rooms are booked six times per day, resulting in 3600 meetings happening daily, and 82800 each month. But some of these meetings only happen on paper, leading to popular rooms that are empty, and others are almost never used while employees experience scarcity. For workplace teams, this data quickly becomes difficult to oversee and act on.
Meet Mapiq's Insights
Meeting Room Insights is our first major release that's part of our revamped workplace analytics environment called Mapiq Insights. We've reimagened workplace analytics to go beyond traditional reporting, transforming raw data into smart insights that elevates the work of workplace teams.
Mapiq Insights is not just an upgrade; it's an evolution designed to meet the demands of the modern workplace. After lot's of user validation, testing, and experimenting we've created a strong foundation for more exiting releases yet to come.
Elevating the Decision-Making Power of Workplace Teams
Offering a great workplace experience requires strategic planning. Workplace teams are increasingly expected to be proactive rather than reactive. However, most organizations fail to tap into the potential of the workplace data currently present within their tech stack.
Mapiq's Meeting Room Insights changes this with out-of-the-box integrations, like room calender and sensor data. These integrations unlock millions of data points, offering a historical view of your meeting room usage and access to insights tailored to your organization's unique needs.
Using our dynamic filtering settings, you can finetune your overview to match the KPI’s you've set. The result is an overview with actionable, decluttered information—Visualized in a way that all stakeholders will understand.
Within Mapiq, workplace teams can:
- Set their ideal thresholds and targets for meeting room utilization, focusing on relevant data fitting the KPI’s of their organization.
- Visualize data in actionable formats, highlighting trends, problematic situations, and successes.
- Understand the detailed context of issues, such as which days see the most room shortages and how often employees experience these problems.
- Start with ‘day 0’ measurements: as soon as Meeting Room Insights is activated you get Insights based on meetings from the past 3 months, allowing you to jumpstart your work with a realistic dataset.
The Utilization Equation: How to Balance Supply and Demand for Meeting Spaces
Organizations often don’t know where to begin when balancing the supply and demand for their meeting rooms. Complaints about unavailable rooms occur during peak days, while under utilization plagues other days.
Mapiq Insights tackles these issues head-on by providing a comprehensive view and custom filtering of your data at every level, making it easier to understand and address the needs of your employees.
