Optimising the Flex Office – but how?

 

OMR has over 400 employees across various sectors, one of which is OMR Podstars. The team has nearly doubled in size within a few years. OMR has grown so dynamically that space in the Hamburg offices has become limited. However, relocating from the Schanze location was not an option, as its proximity to the trade fair and the surrounding environment perfectly suit the company.
At the same time, everyone at OMR enjoys the benefit of occasionally working from home. Surveys revealed that not everyone needs a permanent desk. Therefore, the existing office spaces are shared flexibly, hence the Flex Desks.

 

"We have more employees than office space. Therefore, we had to come up with a solution to manage this. desk.ly positively impacts OMR by enabling us to seamlessly integrate hybrid working methods."

Shared desks intelligently organised

To prevent chaos in flex desking, a tool for managing workspaces was necessary. Since April 2021, the OMR team has been using desk.ly. Through the desk sharing software, employees can see which spaces are available, who is still in the office, and reserve their spot in advance. The straightforward operation and clarity were immediately convincing.

"In my work environment, I use 10-15 software solutions, and they must be intuitive."

OMR's desk booking tool needs to check many boxes, since ...

  • The office spaces are distributed across two buildings and five floors, each featuring uniquely different layouts.
  • OMR is experiencing rapid growth and needs a desk booking tool that can scale and adapt accordingly.
  • During the OMR Festival, the team expands significantly on a seasonal basis. The bookable spaces must be flexibly blocked or made available.
  • To promote a sense of unity throughout the company, both HR and IT should have administrative rights, rather than each department having them individually.
  • Employees can filter through various types of workspaces, including a dedicated dog office to accommodate those with allergies, and, due to popular demand, quiet workspaces for focused tasks.

"From an HR perspective, the integration with Google Workspace, which we use, is particularly beneficial for us."

Why desk.ly?

 

The intuitive booking system and the extensive personalisation options for bookings and user rights are particularly impressive. This enables desk.ly to integrate effortlessly into the OMR Tech Stack.

Employees also appreciate the search function, which allows them to see where their favourite colleagues are seated. Meanwhile, the company gains from having a clearer overview of occupancy and home office rates.
