Data-driven score demonstrates how individual
workplaces enable collaboration among employees - and how offices
stack up against one another
Today, Robin, the workplace management leader, launched the
Workplace Collaboration Score (CollabScore), the industry’s first
data-driven tool to inform how well a workplace enables
collaboration among employees and benchmark them against other
organizations. By leveraging 700 million data points from tens of
thousands of workplaces around the globe, Robin can quantify
whether offices are creating the in-person collaboration leaders
desire. When companies can measure their office collaboration, they
can better facilitate more in-person interactions, which leads to
more innovation, more teamwork, and better business outcomes.
“Businesses continue to iterate on return-to-office (RTO)
policies, but to what end? Executive teams still don't have insight
into how their workplace investments affect the bottom line. The
CollabScore turns the subjective collaboration question into a
quantitative score so workplace leaders can compare against
best-in-class and take the appropriate actions, if needed, to
adjust their office policies, footprint, and layout,” Micah Remley,
CEO of Robin, said.
Robin’s research reveals some truth behind employee’s concerns
about returning to offices. In addition to the fact that offices
continue to have occupancy far below pre-pandemic levels, Robin
found that 53% of office meetings are solo with a single occupant
on a video conference call. Robin also found that 25% of employees
go to the office and sit alone, far from other employees. If an
employee travels to an office to sit by themselves and attend solo
video conference calls, it’s fair for them to ask whether it is
worth the commute. Robin’s CollabScore allows leadership and
workplace leaders to see if their office strategy is succeeding in
the 3 main factors that drive in-person collaboration.
The Three Pillars of Collaboration
Empirical evidence shows that in-person collaboration is highest
when three elements are present:
- Workplace Occupancy measures the overall density and
vibrancy of the office, a key element to collaboration. The more
people are present, the more collaboration takes place.
- Planned Collaboration calculates the percentage of
meetings containing two or more people versus an entirely virtual
meeting. Research shows that in-person meetings are more effective
and lead to increased participation and creativity.
- Ad hoc Collaboration tracks the average number of
employees sitting in proximity to one another. According to
Northwestern University, when employees sit close to
high-performing team members, their performance also
increases.
Robin’s platform analyzes these data points, and a proprietary
algorithm produces a score that takes the customer beyond the
simple analytics of occupancy or their office policies. The
CollabScore together with Robin’s advanced analytics offering,
allows customers to see where companies fall short and adjust their
workplace strategy, including:
- Real estate footprint
- Office layout
- Seating arrangements and team spaces
- Hybrid work policy
to ensure a maximum return on their workplace and people
investment.
