UnSpot analytics now looks at people, not only at the office

Until now UnSpot analytics answered one question: how the space is used — how busy the desks, meeting rooms and parking are. That is half the picture. A hybrid office has a second question too: how people actually work — how many days they spend in the office, how many remotely, and how many days nobody filled in at all.

Now there is an answer to that one as well. In the «Analytics → By employees» section the data is assembled along the org structure — by company, by department and by individual employees.

Two views: general and detailed

The general view shows how working days are distributed between four states: in office, remote, not working, not filled.

The detailed view breaks the same picture down by your own sub-statuses. If your company has set up «business trip», «sick leave» and «study day», you will see exactly those instead of an anonymous «remote». The product speaks the words you already use.

You can look at the entire company, at a department with any nesting, at the employees of a selected department and at subordinate units. The filters are a period of up to three months and the assigned office — which matters for distributed companies, because you see two cuts at once: who is in which department and who is in which city.

Empty days are not about discipline

The most underrated number here is the share of days left unfilled. It looks like minor sloppiness. In fact it is a hole in the very data everything else stands on: how many desks are needed, how many people to order cleaning and lunches for, how many parking spaces to keep. While a third of the schedule is empty, any decision about the office is half guesswork.

Now you can see exactly where the schedule is not being filled — and the conversation goes to one department instead of an email to the whole company.

Looking forward, not only back

For future dates the picture is completed automatically. If a schedule cell is empty but the employee has an assigned seat or an active work schedule template, the day is counted from those. So you can look at next month, not only at the one that has passed — and still have time to change something.

Hybrid stops being a matter of belief. Instead of «about half of us come in» there is a number — for the company, for the department and for the person.
