Ted Moudis Associates' 2016 Workplace Report Justin Mardex EXCLUSIVE GlobeSt.com: What was the most striking revelation you found across workplaces? Justin Mardex: GlobeSt.com: How is the proportion of individual versus shared space in the office changing and what new spaces are you seeing? Mardex : GlobeSt.com: What was a new trend that emerged nationwide over the past year and what's next? Mardex: GlobeSt.com: How can organizations maintain productivity while cutting back on usable square feet per individual? Mardex: It isn't square footage per seat that matters but rather, it's square footage per occupant. Eighteen percent of the space we analyzed applied this philosophy and while on average, they have significantly more alternative work setting and amenities, they were also able to reduce the footprint per user by 20 usable square feet on average. And to the point about productivity, our post occupancy data of one recent activity-based workplace indicated that 69% of staff believed they were more productive in that type of work arrangement and 92% said they wouldn't want to go back to a traditional assigned seating model.
