Our Techniques

We understand the vision of the leadership in terms of what they are trying to accomplish

We understand existing policies, systems, and cultural standards that enable employees to do their work

We understand the limitations and opportunities associated with the current structure

We understand the primary purpose, usage and constraints of the physical workplace

We work cross functionally across your organization, assess the workplace, identify opportunities for improvement, and formulate a plan to execute those changes.

We assess the workplace using workplace utilization studies. We will be able to provide a picture of the way the work environment is used over time. This study can include work spaces like desks, meeting rooms, common areas, and break rooms. Getting a handle on how organizations use their workplaces is essential in understanding the possible options for work arrangements. The data the utilization studies provide is critical when planning the right mix of workplaces for the future. We also conduct employee feedback surveys to get a better understanding of employee issues and concerns.

After carefully analyzing the data, we are able to identify opportunities for improvement.

Executing these improvements will involve a level of change management and buy in from leadership. The best way to do this is by facilitating workshops and focus groups.

The Positive Workplace Consulting Group combines operations, technology, culture, and employee experience in a comprehensive approach focused on cost efficiency, productivity and growth.

People, space, and technology are often the top expense categories for companies. Focusing on these components of workplace experience helps companies maximize the value they get from these expensive resources.

People are at the heart of any organization so employee engagement is critical. According to Gallup, there is a confirmed connection between engaged employees and an increase in productivity. Engaged employees are most often those who experience a superior employee experience.
More collaboration spaces require less square footage. This can reduce real estate costs and create a better working environment for employees.
Providing employees with the right technology can help improve the workplace experience. For example, a workplace platform can help employees in a multitude of ways. They can reserve a desk for the day, schedule a meeting room, or simply request assistance from facilities, IT, or HR. When employees spend less time figuring out logistics, they have more time to focus on the work that matters.
