A hybrid workplace is one where employees can work from either home or office. Office space is treated as a strategic asset, not a fixed cost: managed through one unified platform like WorkInSync covering desk, meeting rooms, parking, meals, and visitor management. It runs on Hybrid Workplace Tech that balances Employee Experience with Admin Experience.
Scheduling models to choose from when creating a hybrid plan
- Balanced Roster: Even distribution of attendance across all weekdays with maximum fairness.
- Peak Utilizer: Maximizes desk and floor usage on the highest office fill days.
- Team Synergy: Prioritises co-location of collaborating teams or shared desks.
- Smart Compact: Consolidates attendance to fewer floors for cost and energy savings.
Benefits (from real WorkInSync deployments)

- A French multinational bank freed up real estate by reducing its desk-to-employee ratio from 10:10 to 10:4, saving 60%. The org’s employee count continued growing while the CRE cost remained consistent.
- A Big-4 consulting company (32,000+ employees, 26 offices) saw a 4:1 employee-to-desk ratio, 100% reduction in ghost bookings, and 14% improved room availability.
- Visitor wait time dropped from 12 minutes to 2 minutes (6x) at a client site.
