The positive numbers spoke loudly and clearly that the investment paid off big-time: After a first-phase space reduction of 5,300 square feet, the CBP enjoyed an annual rent savings of $287,000. In addition, nearly all — 98%—of employees reported that communication and collaboration were improved by the use of the new technology, processes and policies, while the department reported a 102% increase in worker productivity post-transformation. Finally, each employee saved over $600 in annual commuting costs. That also translated into an accompanying reduction in greenhouse gas emissions because employees reduced the number of miles they commuted each day. The success of this first phase of workplace transformation at the CBP led to an even more ambitious second phase, in which 550 employees from seven floors in three buildings were brought together into three floors in one building. The result of this massive change-up was a 46% reduction in square footage and a savings of $3.3 million per year in rent and operational costs. The increased use of electronic files, which went hand in hand with the new mobility strategy, has resulted in a 25% reduction in office paper use. In addition, 17% of employees reported an improvement in their sense of work-life balance.
