Challenges
- 1Measuring Employee AttendanceWW+P needed a reliable way to ensure employees were present in the office, particularly as they navigated hybrid work models.
- 2Seating FlexibilityWith a "Soft-Neighborhood" seating arrangement, employees change seats daily but need to remain close to their team members for effective collaboration. Architects sometimes work from their office and sometimes from their client's site. Every day they can work on different projects and in different teams, and in order to collaborate, they must be sitting next to each other. Their seating arrangements can change every day, and it is impossible to manage them with just an office manager without a workplace platform.
- 3Accurate Workplace AnalyticsPrior to implementing Inspace, WW+P struggled with inaccurate analytics on office usage and employee presence.
- 4Cross-Studio CollaborationAs WW+P expanded, especially with the new office in Toronto, ensuring seamless integration and collaboration across all studios was essential.

WW+P implemented inspace to address these challenges through a comprehensive workplace management platform offering desk and room booking, workplace analytics, hybrid compliance monitoring, and visibility on where employees are working.
