Scoop's Flex Index gets a major expansion today, creating the only way for employers to gain competitive intel on hybrid workforce trends.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Scoop Technologies, Inc., today announces Office Benchmarks, a groundbreaking expansion of their Flex Index database. Office Benchmarks allows employers to quickly and easily compare their office holdings and usage to firms with similar flexible work approaches, enabling them to make better decisions around office investments, office planning, and employee experience. Today's launch allows employers to see how they compare to other hybrid companies on these metrics for the first time in history.
Office Benchmarks represents a major expansion of Scoop's Flex Index, found at https://www.flex.scoopforwork.com. Scoop launched Flex index back in February 2023 to create a one-stop shop for hybrid workforce data. Flex Index now represents the largest proprietary dataset on company approaches to hybrid and remote work. Flex Index covers more than 8,000 companies who collectively have more than 60,000 offices and employ more than 100M people globally. Hundreds of thousands of people have read their monthly Flex Reports, and Flex Index data has anchored hybrid work coverage in top publications like The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Forbes, and Bloomberg.
Today's launch of Office Benchmarks adds a rich layer of insights to Scoop's Flex Index. Until now, employers could add and compare hybrid work policies in the searchable Flex Index database. With today's launch, employers can now access a comprehensive blend of policy and workplace metrics filterable by industry, geography, company size, and hybrid work requirements, empowering leaders to evaluate their investments and policy decisions compared to peers. This launch is similar to when compensation data was aggregated for the first time decades ago by companies like Radford to enable benchmarking, which led to new insights and an entire new industry around compensation analytics.
The launch of Office Benchmarks comes at a time when lease and space allocation decisions are paramount for employers. As pre-hybrid-era leases come up for renewal, employers are faced with increasingly difficult office strategy questions. Making the wrong decision on a lease, office design, or policy can cost millions and impact engagement and attrition. Until now, no external data has existed that correlates flexible work policies with office metrics, leaving leaders without essential guidance to make crucial workplace decisions. Today's launch provides the clarity and insights companies desperately need in today's modern hybrid world.
"We knew Flex Index was incredibly valuable to employers looking to understand broad hybrid and flexible work trends, but we were constantly being asked for more personalized data that could inform policy and office decisions," said Rob Sadow, CEO and Co-Founder of Scoop. "With today's launch of Office Benchmarks, we're able to put more data into the hands of workplace executives, allowing them to answer Board-level questions about hybrid work policy, real estate efficiency, and employee experience."
Scoop's enterprise partners have already begun to express the value of this new dataset. "Flexible work is now another variable that real estate teams need to consider in developing both strategies and tactics for global portfolios. We're excited for Office Benchmarks to help us get to a level of granularity that allows us to make better decisions around where and how we design and manage our spaces." says Rich Lupien, Corporate Environmental, Health & Safety, & Real Estate Manager @ Teradyne, Inc.
Common questions Office Benchmarks can answer:
- "How does my office attendance compare to other companies that also require three days per week in office?"
- "How do other hybrid companies in my industry allocate their space between individual workstations and communal spaces?"
- "If we increase the number of days per week required in the office, what should we expect the impact to be on daily and peak office attendance?"
