A Workplace Strategy can help your business evolve to meet your goals

The workplace strategy is the foundation for any workplace project and is the blueprint for how the business evolves the way it works. The strategy is developed when you want to make a change as it will help you understand what you need to change about the way you work to align with your business drivers.

This could be optimising your existing premises, or it could mean moving to a more suitable space. The strategy will help you define what needs to change, and in the case of a move, what you need to be looking for.

The workplace strategy is intended to aid decision making related to People, Place and Technology. It will align with your business vision, values and strategic objectives.

It will be tailored to suit your business and may include:

• Workplace vision

• Workplace objectives

• Optimisation plan

• Space requirements

• Success measures

• Workstyle guidelines

• Communication and engagement plan

• Change methodology

I have delivered a number of workplace strategies and my approach is very people-centric as I believe that this approach creates the most sustainable outcomes. This starts by listening to the leadership team and understanding the key business drivers for the change then aligning on the methodology for engagement that best suits you.
