Workplace Consultancy Services
What is workplace consultancy?
The right workplace strategy has the capability to transform your business – workplace consultancy is the process which will help you define this.
Our process focuses on understanding your business and listening to your people. We then learn about your ways of working and evaluate your current office space and utilisation.
Our workplace consultants will use these insights and their knowledge to create an informed workplace strategy tailored to your current needs as well as future aspirations. We will provide a solution that both enhances the performance of your people and business, starting from the location of your office and your space requirements to the design and build of that space.
Benefits of workplace consultancy
PEOPLE & CULTURE
People are your greatest asset. As a 100% employee owned business, we understand this more than most. By investing in a workplace that embodies your company culture, brand and values, and where people will love to work, you can attract and retain the best talent. You can also improve employee satisfaction and wellbeing, and in turn, reduce turnover.
INCLUSIVITY
Understanding how to cater for a range of behaviours, backgrounds and neurodiverse needs is crucial in order to create a work environment that is suitable for everyone. Our workplace consultants can help you provide a community where everyone, regardless of their needs, feels inspired, respected and valued.
PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE
Taking the time to understand what people need to do their best work – from activity settings and wellbeing amenities, to lighting, noise, temperature and tech – can help you streamline processes. This can help improve collaboration and communication, and drive innovation, ultimately impacting overall productivity and performance.
SPACE OPTIMISATION
Re-evaluating and defining your office space requirements through workplace consultancy can help rationalise your property needs. We also identify your optimum space requirements, meaning you won’t waste money on unneeded space. Whatever your needs, our experienced workspace consultants will help define a strategy that’s cost effective and right for your business.

Our process
> UNDERSTAND & EVALUATE
Our team will work with you to understand your business and your people, and learn about how you operate. This involves gathering a combination of qualitative and quantitative data. This includes strategic workshops, employee interviews, wellbeing and inclusivity analysis, space rationalisation, analysing the business structure, and reviewing company goals.
> SHAPE
After the process is complete, we analyse the data we have collated and turn it into actionable insights. By using recent data from your business, combined with our knowledge of workplace psychology, space planning, and office design, we can ensure that the recommendations we make will deliver tangible improvements directly aligned with your business’ needs.
> REFINE & IMPLEMENT
Gaining feedback from key stakeholders, including employees, is key to the review process. Once we refine and agree upon a proposed strategy, our workplace consultancy team will work closely with our office interior design consultants and the wider project team to begin your workplace transformation process.

FAQs
Start by asking yourself if your employees have everything they need to do a good job? Is the office comfortable? Do they have a choice in how/where they work? Is there enough space for everyone? Or too much space? Do you have the right tech in place? Could you be doing more for wellbeing?
If you need help answering any of these questions then it could be time to talk to a workplace consultant.
It’s about so much more than just design. It’s about culture, wellbeing and sustainability. It’s also about giving people the tools and environment to succeed, not to mention rationalising real estate, reducing operating costs and improving productivity.
