Your Workplaces, at a Glance

The Workplace Trends dashboard provides you with key metrics about your various sites. These metrics are a quick overview of your workspaces with critical data available at a glance. You can easily identify the number of sites, the number of associated employees, the number of active desks, the sharing ratio, and your office density using these metrics. The key metrics will not be affected if parameters are changed using the dropdown menus.

Key metrics

 

Associated Employees

An associated employee is an active employee that is associated with a site. An employee is considered to be associated with a site if the employee is assigned to the site. To learn more on adjusting or viewing an employee’s assigned site, check out the Planning Reports article.

Any employees that do not have an assigned site will still be considered an associated employee if they have an assigned desk at a site or have occupant booking restrictions at a site.


 

Percentage of Capacity

The Percentage of capacity pie chart gives you an overview of your occupancy during the time period selected. This chart calculates the percentage of capacity based on the number of occupied desks during the total amount of operating days selected. Below the chart, you will also see the percentages for Bookable desks and Assigned desks.

Percentage of capacity annotated


 

Employees On-Site

The Employees on-site metric lets you know how many employees have activity that indicates that they went on-site during the time period selected. Any employee that booked a desk, completed a Safeguard form, or had a badge event occur (if you’ve imported badge data) at least once over the time frame will be counted in this metric. 

You are also able to view the number of employees on-site as an approximate percentage of your total workforce (the number of associated employees at selected sites) in the text below. If you've imported badge data then it will be counted as part of this metric.

Employees on-site

 

Average Daily Bookings

The Average daily bookings metric calculates the average number of bookings your workplace has each day over the selected time period. Text below the average daily bookings number compares the average daily bookings from the previous period to the current one. 

You can use this information to help you understand trends at the highest level and monitor overall bookings across your workplaces. 

Average daily bookings

 

No-Show Rate

The No-show rate data allows you to see how many of your bookings were canceled on the same day that the booking was made for. This metric includes failed Safeguard submissions as cancellations. Below the No-show rate is a comparison between it and the rate from the previous period. 

This comparison can be used to help you identify why there is an increase in cancellations and take steps toward more completed bookings.

No-show rate

 

Failed Safeguard

The Failed Safeguard metric displays the total number of failed Safeguard forms over the selected time period. You will also see the total number of Safeguard submissions that failed, expressed as a percentage. The Failed Safeguard metric can only be viewed by Admins.

Attendance Heat Map

Above the heat map, you can also find the number of sites that have been included. If you select the sites included button, the Badge data detail screen will open. Here, you can compare the number of operating days with badge data to the total number of operating days in the selected date range, giving you an understanding of how complete your badge data is. With this information, you can then reach out to individuals at sites where data is incomplete, and gain a more complete picture of badge events and attendance across your organization.

Daily Bookable Desk Utilization vs. Capacity

The Daily bookable desk utilization vs. capacity graph compares desk utilization to the total bookable limit and overall bookable capacity of your sites for each day. 

Using the graph, you can see the number of desks booked and the number of desks with same-day cancellations for each day, and view how closely that utilization approaches your bookable limit and bookable capacity. 

Using this metric, you can determine whether you need to increase or decrease your total number of bookable desks. 

The time frame for the data shown in the Daily bookable desk utilization vs. capacity chart is adjustable by using the scrollable chart below the graph. You are able to change the length of time period, as well as adjust which days are shown in the chart. 

Expand or shorten the blue selection tool to increase or decrease the length of time shown in the graph. You can also move the blue selection tool along the chart to focus on a different selection of days.

Average Daily Attendance

The Average daily attendance graph shows you the average number of employees that came into the office each weekday. For each day, you see the average number of unique employees that were on-site without a booking, had a completed desk booking, or made a booking that was canceled on the same day. Employees without completed bookings are considered to have been on-site if they have either one of the following:
 
  • A passing Safeguard result for that day 
  • A badge event that day, if you've imported badge data

Average daily attendance

 

Desk Utilization by Site

The Desk utilization by site graph allows you to view how your desks are utilized across all your sites and compare the average daily desk usage. The graph shows the number of Assigned desks with a current occupant, Bookable desks, and No-show desks utilized in each site and visually represents the total number of average desks used daily against the total capacity of the site.

Percentage of Workforce On-Site

The Percentage of workforce on-site chart gives you insight into what percentage of employees were on-site during the selected period. All sites are compared in this chart.

You will be able to compare the percentage of employees who did not visit during the period, who visited on average once a week, twice a week, three days a week, four days a week, and all week long. 

Employees with multiple associated sites or no associated site will be included in the respective percentages at the bottom of the chart. 

As a reminder, employees are considered on-site for each day they have a desk booking or completed Safeguard. Badge events will also be considered if you've imported badge data.
