HubStar, a leader in dynamic workplace management technology,
today announced the launch of H2O, the first ever hybrid occupancy
platform designed to improve in-person connection, collaboration
and employee experience while minimizing costs and carbon
emissions.
HubStar H2O brings together workplace experience, workplace
intelligence and hybrid data management solutions into a single
platform. With the combination of these functionalities in one
platform, organizations can transition from traditional to dynamic
workplace management, successfully navigating the fluid new reality
of complex hybrid work patterns, rapidly changing employee
expectations and economic uncertainty.
Along with the benefits of flexibility, work-life balance and
increased productivity, hybrid work has brought challenges in
aligning people, policies and workplaces. Most workplace leaders
are still struggling to optimize the hybrid work model using
approaches that haven’t evolved since the pandemic.
These legacy tools and approaches, built to handle relatively
static pre-pandemic work patterns and office layouts, have served
organizations relatively well until recent years. Now, they are no
longer able to cope with today’s workplace challenges.
Hybrid workplaces have the potential to connect colleagues and
friends, foster a sense of belonging and boost wellbeing. However,
the administrative burden of coordinating schedules, finding the
right days to come into the office and lack of incentivization are
preventing hybrid workplaces from achieving their full potential.
Workplace leaders are finding themselves ill-equipped to boost
purposeful office attendance while maintaining operational controls
to meet the constant change of hybrid work. Predicting the types
and amounts of space employees require while reducing waste,
adapting office design and keeping data in sync and departments
aligned are constant challenges.
HubStar H2O was built to help workplace leaders overcome each of
these challenges.
H2O is the only platform that combines next-generation workplace
scheduling, employee experience, AI-driven workplace intelligence,
unified data management and hybrid occupancy planning in one
holistic solution.
“While hybrid work has had tremendous benefits for flexibility
and employee wellbeing, it’s also created significant strategy
challenges for workplace leaders,” said John T. Anderson, CEO of
HubStar.
“Ensuring workplace experience, workplace design and portfolio
optimization are aligned and working together in unison to achieve
business outcomes has been all but impossible until now. The launch
of HubStar H2O comes at a watershed moment in the hybrid work
landscape, and will support workplace leaders in achieving three
key priorities: evolving a hybrid work strategy, improving
workplace experience and optimizing office portfolios,” continued
Anderson.
