Workplace Strategy

Helping organizations create flexible and productive work environments

Fentress helps public and private organizations transform traditional offices into hybrid and agile workplaces. With more than 30 years of experience working in remote and flexible environments, we understand the challenges of adapting to new ways of working—and how to design workplaces that truly support them.

Our workplace planning services go beyond floor plans. We focus on balancing collaboration, focus, and adaptability while also addressing change management, communication, and employee engagement. The result: offices that enhance health, wellness, and productivity while making efficient use of space and resources.

How We Deliver Results

Workstyle Survey Model

This tool translates employee survey responses into actionable insights that define the optimal mix of focused and collaborative workspaces. The results also inform change management strategies and support initiatives that promote employee health and wellness in the workplace.

Space Utilization Model

This tool identifies the optimal amount of space needed for focused, collaborative, and support functions within the workplace. It generates a detailed space program and provides general cost estimates for design and construction.

Telework Readiness Model

This tool evaluates how effectively your organization supports remote and hybrid work across key areas such as technology, communication, and policy. It provides a 0–100 readiness score, identifies areas for improvement, and delivers a prioritized action plan with recommendations to strengthen your telework program and hybrid workplace setup.
