Desk pool analytics signals

Desk pool usage can be understood and optimized by combining desk reservation data with real-time occupancy signals. Real estate and facility managers can compare intended desk usage, shown through desk reservations, with actual occupancy data to reveal usage patterns.

This process helps managers identify employee no-show rates and better understand how desk pools are being used across facilities, including both reserved usage and peak-demand periods.

Analytics signals used for desk pools

• Intent-based desk use
  Desk analytics uses reservation data to track how desks are planned to be used, providing insights into expected occupancy levels.

• Actual desk use
  By using building occupancy signals, such as badge-access systems, desk analytics measures actual desk occupancy, helping organizations better understand how desk pools are being utilized.

Important considerations when setting up desk pools

• Desk pool occupancy is based on employees using reservations for desks in buildings where they have reservations.
• Desk pool occupancy doesn't account for desk pools that are used without reservations.
• Desk pools with fewer than 10 desks aren't available for analysis due to privacy requirements. We recommend configuring desk pools with more than 10 desks to maximize the value of desk pool analytics.
