7. Integrate with COOP & Business Continuity
Make sure you know where your employees are in case of emergency or natural disaster. Utilize a
technology that integrates the HR systems and workplace reservation system to know exactly who is in
the office and where they are sitting. Also provide your employees with a way to find other places to
work, even when their main office is unavailable to ensure your organization can continue to service its
customers.
8. Report usage and measure savings
Decide on your goals, whether productivity, real estate savings, energy savings, or even all of the
above. Then establish the baseline by which further progress will be measured regularly. A well
managed program is evidenced by well prepared and consistent reports, so it is critical that the
eventual reporting be a part of every step of the program, especially the upfront planning.
