Many organizations are adopting a hybrid workplace model that offers the freedom of remote work, paired with the ability to forge culture, collaboration, and connections within the office.

Through our Global Workplace Surveys, we surveyed nearly 10,000 office workers from the U.S., U.K., France, and Australia. In every country we studied, over half of workers would prefer a “hybrid model,” or a mix of working from the office and working from home during the typical workweek.

Wisp enables flexibility in the workplace by supporting free address neighborhoods, desk reservations, check-ins, hot desk management, and hoteling with the features needed for an evolving workplace strategy.

QR codes make it easy to reserve or check into a desk.

QR codes are a great visual reminder for employees to book a desk when they arrive at the office. With accurate check-in data, you’ll be able to:

• Maintain accurate data for reporting
• Understand space utilization
• Enable real-time wayfinding for employees in the office
• Publish accurate desk availability
• Inform cleaning plans based on that day’s usage
• Identify who was in the office when

Managing a hybrid workplace just got easier. Through our research we found that “working in-person with my team/colleagues” was universally ranked as the #1 reason to be present in the workplace in all six countries we studied. Socializing with colleagues, being part of the community, or impromptu face-to-face connections also ranked high.

As companies rollout hybrid working and combine mobile, assigned, and hoteling people on the same floor plan, it is critical to managing a dynamic workforce with the right tools.

Wisp is designed for ease of use by workers to reserve, book, and check into desks. It also enables administrators to effectively manage the workplace and gather impactful data to understand space utilization and plan for the future. Wisp offers the convenience of recurring reservations, allowing users to easily schedule and book desks for regular use, such as weekly or monthly meetings or ongoing projects.
