What Your Occupancy Data says about Your Company Work Culture?

In today’s hybrid world, your office is more than a physical space. It is a behavioral map of how your people work, collaborate, and connect. While pulse surveys and HR reports give you one lens into workplace culture, your occupancy data offers a more objective, dynamic, and continuous view.

At Dojo, we believe the way your workplace is used reflects the way your company thinks. And it turns out, your occupancy patterns say more about your culture than you might expect.

Why Productivity Starts with the Space You Work in

Whether you're hybrid, in-person, or something in between, the physical workplace plays a major role in team output. But too often, organizations are stuck with:

• Unused desks or empty floors

• Confusing room bookings and space overlaps

• No data to support collaboration tendencies and workflows

These inefficiencies add up—not just in real estate costs, but in lost time, poor collaboration, and unclear expectations around when and how to use the office.

Office data is culture data

You can’t improve what you can’t measure. Dojo's Occupancy Analytics helps leaders understand:

• When employees choose to come in

• Which spaces do they gravitate toward

• How usage patterns vary by team, role, or department

This data helps answer critical cultural questions:

• Is your team collaborating cross-functionally or sticking to silos?

• Do employees see the office as a hub for innovation or just a place to check in?

• Are your hybrid policies aligned with how people actually behave?

What Your Occupancy Statistics Tell Us

Here are a few examples of how occupancy data can reveal deeper truths about your company’s culture:

1. Low-mid week occupancy: If people only come in on Monday or Friday, it may signal a transactional approach to work rather than a strong in-person culture. It could also mean the office lacks energy on core collaboration days.

2. Underused collaboration spaces: Empty breakout rooms and unused lounges might show a preference for heads-down work or a lack of psychological safety when it comes to casual brainstorming.

3. Highly concentrated space usage: If one area is always buzzing while another sits quiet, your layout might be unintentionally shaping team behavior. And if only a few teams show up consistently, your culture may be more fragmented than you think.

Culture starts with visibility
