Fed up with no-show meetings? ?? In most offices, there’s a big mismatch between intent and actual usage of reserved spaces. Employees book desks or meeting rooms in advance but then don't use them, leaving these spaces unavailable for others to book and use. This leads to inaccurate reporting about space utilization and makes employees lose trust in the system. In this podcast, Michael Przytula explores the value of capturing real-time usage data to streamline processes and automate check-ins.

Unpopular opinion: being in the office is more efficient and effective for a team over the long term. I know, I know. My commute averages 40 min each way. It’s a pain sometimes. I get it. But I’ve observed a couple things over the last few years of hybrid work: 1) the teammates that do show up are asked to do more. “Hey can you help print out this package for me?” “Hey do you see so-and-so in the office?” All these little requests are no big deal individually…but they accumulate and have a real impact throughout a day/week. 2) natural 5-10 min huddle-ups now need to be scheduled. Often times the scheduling of the meeting takes more time than the actual meeting itself. Something that could take five minutes on a Monday doesn’t happen until a Thursday. Horribly inefficient. 3) learning is impacted. They say more is caught than taught. Hearing how other people negotiate, how they talk to clients, what others are saying about the market, etc. You miss this when sitting at the home office. Most days I only get 4-6 hours in the office as I’m running out on tours and client meetings. But being there five days a week is more efficient and effective. Long live the office building.

Reflecting on this some more as I chat with my pal, Dave Cairns. Dave and I agree on this topic, we just have not fully landed there yet..... ?? 1) I'm obviously just speaking from my experience of running (and being a member) of a ten person real estate brokerage team. I do not believe every job and industry is homogeneous. 2) As an introvert with a stellar home office set-up, I personally prefer working from home. Doesn't change my belief that in-office is more effective for the team as a whole. 3) I'm an industrial broker and have zero benefit for wanting people back in offices. Right now I'm actually working on three projects where office buildings are being razed to make way for industrial development. Any argument claiming my bias here is not well thought out. Equally lazy are the arguments that only micro-managers and managers who don't trust their people want them back in the office. 4) Draconian M-F office rules won't ever make sense for our team. We all have families and every member of the team will leave for kid things or appointments or whatever else is necessary. No permission needed. We are all adults. 5) People are passionate about this topic which means: a) it matters; b) the plane has not landed yet. This is a topic that is very much in flux and not a one-size-fits-all. I believe it will continue changing over the coming years and will hopefully do so for the better of the group AND the individual. Bottom line, I still believe in my three original points and think in-office is generally more efficient and effective for our team at this point in time.
