How IES Got More People to the Office for Face-to-face Interaction

The challenge: Getting people back to the office while providing flexibility to employees

Get people back to the office

After 2 years of remote work, employees didn’t see the benefit of returning to the office. Integrated smart scheduling solutions provided them with the confidence that time spent at the office would be valuable.

Provide analytics

Leadership wanted transparency to key employee and space management analytics to help them effectively plan for future expanding and budgeting.

Coordinate multiple offices

IES has locations in multiple countries and cities and they use multiple space resources which was an additional challenge for their back to work policy.

The solution: Implement a fully integrated hybrid workplace management platform that was easy to use and implement but also effective at managing resources.

Integrated with existing systems for ease of use

IES team members were already using logins for existing systems and it was important not to add complexity to those workflows.. The OfficeRnD integrations and SSO made using the system as simple as possible to use.

Fast to implement to get employees back to the office

Companies like IES didn’t get much notice that getting back to the office was an option so when Covid restrictions were easing, they wanted to get employees face to face as soon as possible. OfficeRnD’s customer success team uses personalized onboarding to ensure goals are met.

Ease for employees to collaborate

For employees to want to go back to the office after 2 years of remote work, systems have to be easy and effective enough to encourage face to face work. OfficeRnD Hybrid provides simple desk and room booking directly through existing calendar systems with complete transparency to co-workers schedules. Providing that flexibility puts employees in control and encourages in person collaboration.

Effective at managing resources

The future of work is uncertain and the team at IES wanted analytics that would provide the kind of transparency to key metrics that would help leadership make informed decisions about how to allocate resources.
