“The coronavirus outbreak has caused an unprecedented exodus of office workers around the world, bringing workplace utilization from a peak of 60 percent in early 2020 to merely four percent shortly after the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic,” said Kurt von Koch, CEO of FM:Systems. “Now, as governments reopen around the world, we are offering the Workplace Reopening Tracker as a free tool for employers, facility managers, HR executives and real estate teams to see how other organizations are currently reopening geographically and worldwide.”

Key trends from the FM:Systems Workplace Reopening Tracker include:

  • Top 10 utilization rate increases by country
  • Total workplace utilization percentage rate globally compared to the 4 percent crash
  • Top countries with the highest space utilization/reopening rates (i.e., total utilization percentage)

“The uniqueness of COVID-19 makes it difficult for workplaces to effectively respond and prepare for a reopening. As state and local governments decide how and when to reopen businesses, data on office utilization can support educated decisions for the safety of the global workforce and the correlating community impact,” said Ibrahim Yate, industry analyst at Verdantix. “By making this data available, FM:Systems takes an innovative approach to arm the economy with the right tools and information for facility re-entry. The Workplace Reopening Tracker indicates trends for which countries are the gold standard in reopening and which can review, refine and accordingly adjust their strategy.”
