Helping you understand the data you capture in the workplace

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH        Yoyo

The Workplace Data Census is an annual study to explore data collection trends to help inform workplace practitioners to support their approach. Mapping how organisations are capturing and utilising their data in today's workplace, we will deep dive into the current usage and output of this data. The findings from our survey and report will help inform business leaders in their decision-making and how to drive better organisation outcomes through their workplaces, technology, and experiences.

What the data census aims to discover

What data are organisations capturing?

  • What are the most popular space and people data types?
  • How important are these in the work you do?
  • What systems are you using to capture them?

How does your organisation use data?

  • Does it influence operational decisions e.g. cost reduction, service delivery?
  • Can it improve employee engagement and workplace experience?
  • What barriers exist to capturing data?

How are you placed with digital skills?

  • Are your teams comfortable with handling data?
  • Are you able to effectively use data to develop insight?
  • How comfortable are you with presenting data to decision makers?
