As the pandemic has shifted how and where people work, companies are seeking agile solutions to help them address the new challenges a hybrid or flexible work environment presents. Organizations need to create safe workplaces that support employee productivity and engagement. They also need to understand and respond to changing space requirements and be prepared for the office of the future.

“Optimizing the people to space equation in a rapidly changing environment is the new imperative for all companies operating in a hybrid workplace,” said Pranav Tyagi, Tango’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “Doing so improves employee productivity, satisfaction, and retention while delivering bottom-line results through higher space utilization and lower occupancy costs. AgilQuest’s complementary solution provides a strategic extension of Tango’s reservations and resource scheduling capabilities, and collectively delivers an unmatched solution needed by companies of all sizes to address the requirements of a flexible work environment.
