What does a positive workplace experience actually look like? Our data shows that 42% of workplaces are thriving, offering an outstanding employee experience. These Catalyst workplaces, or those with Lmi scores of 70.0 or above, empower employees to perform at their best, driving competitive advantage. Still, 58% of workplaces are falling short—16% of them are Obstructer environments that hinder employee performance. These workplaces, with an Lmi below 60.0, have a significant negative effect on employees, jeopardising the organisation’s opportunity to reach success. The remaining 42% of workplaces with Lmi scores of 60.0-69.9 are Enabler workplaces that provide an average, "just ok" experience. But really, these Enabler workplaces are missed opportunities, losing out on the chance to boost productivity and use a workplace as a strategic tool that fuels success. Leesman insights can help workplaces shift from just average to high-performing with outstanding experiences. #EmployeeExperience #WorkplaceTransformation #Productivity #Leadership

As we near the end of the European leg of our data briefing event roadshow, we look back on a very busy, but equally very rewarding, couple of weeks. We were hosted by some of our amazing clients in Brussels, Amsterdam, and Stockholm, showcasing what excellence should look like when it comes to workplace experience. We delved into the key findings from our report and had insightful conversations with many of the industry leaders who are paving the way for workplace experience. Seeing so many leading organisations participating in the conversation and being committed to shaping the future of workplace has us excited for our next events in Zurich, Sydney and Singapore.

Let’s be clear, unassigned seating strategies were already a growing trend before 2020. While only 13% of people were using an assigned workspace in 2014, that number had already risen to 33% in 2019. The pandemic may have merely acted as a catalyst for accelerating this trend. There are many reasons why organisations may be opting for unassigned seating, but the important thing is understanding the impact on the employee experience. Register for one of our webinar sessions to hear our experts discuss the potential benefits and challenges of unassigned seating strategies, and the importance of variety in these spaces: https://lnkd.in/eXNXxtQA #LeesmanInsights #DataBriefing #UnassignedSeating #HybridWorking #WorkplaceStrategy

In contrast to their older colleagues, younger people enjoy being in the office. With an Lmi of 76.0, employees aged under 25 have the best office experience in contrast to those over the age of 55 (average Lmi of 67.7). Armed with the knowledge that young people have such different office experiences, and that many workplaces are merely average, how should employers respond? Offices need to be far more than just average. The workplace needs to compete with personalised home set-ups, which allow for greater flexibility, a better work-life balance and even outperform traditional workplaces in key areas such as noise.

In an increasingly hybrid world, why assign desks to employees who use them only a fraction of the time? The Value of Variety delves into key advantages and challenges of different seating strategies, and their impact on workplace experience. Unassigned seating is often negatively portrayed, perceived as a cost-saving exercise to the detriment of employees. But what can we learn from workplaces where this has been implemented successfully?

Last month, the Leesman and HqO teams from across EMEA got together for our first joint company day. From a mock pitch surprise team challenge, to virtual clay pigeon shooting and finishing things off with a well-deserved trip to the pub, it was a day filled with moments that matter. Days like these remind us of how valuable it is to have the opportunity of face to face time with our colleagues. As we move forward with our integration, the amazing levels of collaboration and cooperation seen between our teams have us even more excited for our joint future ahead. #TeamBuilding #CompanyDay #FutureReady

In 2018, ITOKI CORPORATION opened its Tokyo headquarters, ITOKI TOKYO XORK. XORK was created to be the first in Japan to fully embrace Activity Based Working and to design a way of working autonomously with a high degree of self-discretion. They continue to make annual data-driven renovations to make the office even more focused on collaboration and comfort. As a result, ITOKI achieved the Leesman+ Excellent certification in 2024. These changes are positively reflected in the employee sentiments, with respondents who agreed that ‘My workplace supports me sharing ideas/knowledge among colleagues’ increasing from 5.8% to 72.4% in 2024. These changes have contributed significantly to higher employee engagement, lower turnover, and talent acquisition.
