Some 61% of companies in Europe reported office utilization rates between 41% and 80%, with 33% reporting rates of 40% or less, showing a shift from 2023.
30% of European companies aim to increase office attendance, with 25% considering occupancy sensors and space-booking software as crucial technology for the return-to-office process.
Companies such as Dell are linking office attendance to promotions, while others like Envoy are integrating it into performance evaluations; Amazon is monitoring office hours to reduce the 'coffee badging' culture, indicating diverse strategies for encouraging office return.
Although office presence supports communication, a hybrid working model is expected to become prevalent as employees value in-person interactions but desire more flexibility in working arrangements.
