Since 2021, Office Report has brought together research and practice to understand how offices are used, how organisations work, and what people need from their workplace.
For leaders, architects and workplace professionals, each edition offers a considered view of the decisions ahead.
Meet the people behind the reportEmployees represented across the participating organisations. Area figures are estimated gross floor areas, restated on a common basis. Samples change each year; totals are not cumulative and do not count individual survey responses.
Fifteen findings, case studies and perspectives.
Choose a topic. Follow an idea back to its source.
79 of 164 participating organisations report office space they no longer need.
The difference between a busy day and a quiet day changes how an office should be planned.
Collaboration is the main reason for coming to the office, ahead of leadership expectations and formal meetings.
A better workplace is assessed through cost, location, access and cultural change.
Atos linked office planning, mobility, technology and sustainability through a participatory move to Vienna’s IZD Tower.
Attendance policies and everyday practice tell different stories. Leadership needs to work with both.
The Art of Working explores how the spaces we share express an organisation’s culture, strategy and everyday choices.
A quiet day changes the effective cost of the space actually used, even while the rent bill stays the same.
Average desk occupancy is 62%. Understanding when and how space is used opens up a different conversation about the office.
Collaboration and project spaces lead the wish list. The office has a role to play in the quality of our encounters.
For many participating organisations, office attendance has remained stable while hybrid routines have matured.
The latest report links a higher New Work Score with less rented space per employee.
At Helaba in Düsseldorf, new ways of working informed a move from established office routines towards flexible, shared environments.
The 2025 edition moves from assigning a space to each process towards allowing people to choose what helps them work.
Space efficiency links workplace quality with the use of resources. Earlier editions place sustainability alongside the everyday decisions of office planning.
The New Work Score brings eleven inputs together to describe how new ways of working are embedded in an organisation.
Introduced in 2025 and expanded in 2026, it connects workplace use with sharing, flexibility, technology and the perspectives of people and leaders.

Helaba, Düsseldorf · Project: pro m² · Photography: Jan KaiserA workplace is where an organisation’s choices become visible. At Helaba in Düsseldorf, pro m² helped translate a changing approach to work into a different kind of office.
Focus, conversation and informal exchange each have a place. The report looks at what happens when a workplace is planned around how people work.
