Rightsizing
Your real estate at the right size, for today and for what's coming.
Rightsizing means bringing your real estate, its size, type and layout, in line with what your people actually need. Not on gut feel, but on measured demand, and with a view five to ten years ahead.
What it is
Not cutting space. The right space.
Too much space costs money; too little costs you focus and productivity. Rightsizing finds the point where your real estate fits how your people work, building by building, team by team.
- Size: how many square metres you really need.
- Type and layout: which kinds of workplaces, in what ratio.
- Location: which buildings to keep, merge or release.
The signals
Three signals that your portfolio no longer fits.
Where people want to work
The balance between home, office and beyond shifts, and the gap with how it runs today tells you where space frees up.
Whether activities fit the place
Is the office over- or under-used for the work people actually do there? This is the strongest rightsizing signal.
Strongest signalHow much space is really used
Hidden capacity: buildings you pay for stand half empty, while space is rented elsewhere.
When it matters
The moments where rightsizing makes the difference.
Absorbing growth
A team grows or a department is added. See at once whether it fits in your current buildings, and where, before you rent more.
Merger or integration
Two organisations, two portfolios. Put the combined demand next to the combined supply and see where you can consolidate.
Revising hybrid policy
Is your remote-work policy changing? Then demand for space changes too. Ground the new norm in measured behaviour, not assumptions.
Cost & sustainability
Fewer square metres means lower costs and less energy. Rightsizing shows where that's possible without pain.
How it works
From challenge to decision, in three steps.
Pick rightsizing as the challenge
You start from your goal in plain language; the platform bundles the right assessment.
Measure the real need
Short surveys capture what people need, aggregated, never per individual.
Decide with one clear story
The outcome is a story with the conclusion on top, not a wall of charts.
Behind the digital interview
To rightsize, you have to understand the work.
Rightsizing rests on real demand, and demand comes from how people actually work. Our digital interview measures that as behaviour, not opinion. Depending on your challenge, these are the modules that provide the answers.
Mobility
How people move between home, office and elsewhere, and where intent and reality drift apart.
Workstyle
How the work gets done: the activities people spend time on, and where they'd be better supported.
Satisfaction
What people value most in the organisation and its workplace, and how well that's delivered today.
Collaboration
Where value is created between teams, and whether that happens in person or virtually.
Culture
Whether the organisation moves as one, or loses speed to friction between the culture you have and want.
Five lenses, one honest picture of how work happens: the real demand behind your space.
Frequently asked
Rightsizing, briefly answered.
How do you know if your office is too big?
By placing measured demand next to actual capacity. If the office is structurally under-used for the work people do there, and people indicate they'd rather work elsewhere more often, there's room to reduce.
How does Reworc measure need without tracking people?
With short surveys at population level. We work with groups, not names. No surveillance of individual employees. That's enough to get reliable demand signals.
Does Reworc replace our real estate system?
No. Reworc connects to your existing real estate and HR systems and adds the missing layer: the real demand from your people, alongside your existing portfolio.
How far ahead can I plan?
Reworc lets you set growth and need five to ten years out against your capacity, so budget and investment conversations rest on facts rather than assumptions.
