Workplace Adequacy™ Survey

The Workplace Adequacy™ Survey is a modular survey that gives you a clear, evidence-based picture of your current situation — and a reliable foundation for decision-making. You can choose between four versions depending on where you are in your workplace strategy journey: a quick snapshot, developing a workplace strategy, leading a change programme, or following up after implementation. The survey highlights what works well today, where needs are greatest, and which actions will help you create a better, more fit-for-purpose workplace.

Workplace Snapshot

This version is ideal when you need a clear picture of how the workplace is functioning today. You gain insights into how well the workplace aligns with the principles of Workplace Adequacy™, how satisfied employees are with the office design, and how well the office supports different work activities.

Needs Assessment

This version provides a more comprehensive foundation for decision-making when developing or updating your workplace strategy. You receive both the assessment of the Workplace Adequacy™ principles and deeper insights into collaboration patterns, work patterns, mobility profiles, and conditions for remote working.

Lead the Change

When shifting to a new way of working, employees’ understanding and motivation are essential. This version highlights the support needed during the transition, the barriers that must be addressed, and how different parts of the organisation perceive the change. By running the survey at key points throughout the journey, you gain a clear picture of change readiness and can target interventions where they will have the most impact.

Follow Up and Refine

After implementation, follow-up is crucial to make final adjustments and ensure the workplace remains fit for purpose over time. This version helps you assess how well the new workplace aligns with Workplace Adequacy™, what works well, and what can be improved further — so you can refine both workplace strategy and workplace concept over time.

Each survey format consists of targeted modules with validated question areas that capture ways of working, collaboration patterns, satisfaction and workplace needs. Together, they provide a structured and trustworthy basis for workplace decisions. Book a demo and we’ll show you how to use the results in your workplace strategy — and which modules best match your situation.

Find out how well your workplace supports employees’ needs. Take our short self-assessment and receive an instant summary based on Workplace Adequacy™ to help you prioritise the right next step.

Why Workplace Adequacy™ matters

The Workplace Adequacy™ framework provides a holistic view of how office design, ways of working and organisational conditions affect employees’ ability to perform and feel well. It helps you understand the links between space, behaviour and needs — and make decisions that will hold over time.

By combining quantitative data with behavioural insights, you gain a clear baseline and concrete priorities. Whether you are developing a hybrid office, introducing activity-based working, or refining an existing workplace concept, the results give you actionable input for your workplace strategy. The survey can also be tailored with additional questions or modules so it reflects your goals and your organisation.

With recurring measurements, you can track progress over time and ensure your workplace continues to create value — for both employees and the organisation.
