Workforce Mobility Program Development
Work isn’t changing, it’s changed. Workplaces are half empty much of the time because most still fit the cubicle paradigm from 1968 – before desktop computers, laptops, cell phones, www, social media. Technology has made possible the mobile workplace and companies are beginning to use it because it’s the way employees work best.
Companies choose Mobility in order to:
Attract and retain the best talent
There’s a great deal of data to verify that having choices on how, when and where to work are significant attractors and decision criteria for top talent.
Cut carbon and greenhouse gas production
Mobility programs can reduce total square footage in a company’s real estate portfolio, cutting heating, lighting, cooling and construction impacts. Mobility programs also reduce carbon-producing travel.
Increase productivity
The ability to choose the right setting for the kind of work required decreases productivity-robbing interruptions. Reducing commute times enables employees to get more done. Mobility also leads to increased employee engagement and loyalty, factors that can increase productivity.
Reduce risk
Informal Mobility exposes company Intellectual Property and networks to loss and infiltration. Additionally, strong mobility programs are key to business continuity and disaster recovery.
Add flexibility to static portfolios
Breaking the one-seat per one-person model turns a static, rigid real estate portfolio into a flexible asset that is better able to accommodate growth, consolidations, mergers and rearrangement.
Reduce costs
Mobility programs create options to either reduce portfolio size or grow without adding square footage. No more wondering, ‘where is everybody’. They’re working, just somewhere else. And no more paying for unused space.

Technology planning
Strong, enabling technologies must be in place and supported for a Mobility program.

Change management
To ensure the program is adopted, we help employees and managers excel in the new working arrangement through a structured change management process that includes stakeholder engagement, the voice of the customer, a communication strategy, and surveys.
