To mark the end of the year, Basking\u2019s Data Analytics team has prepared a Global Occupancy Benchmarking report, putting together the data insights from the offices worldwide, incl. the North America, EMEA, LATAM, and APAC regions in October-November 2021.  Our goal was to help the CRE professionals in understanding the effects of COVID-19 on workplace occupancy across different regions and creating data-based Return-to-Office plans globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this analysis, we have selected the data from 88 offices and 11 organizations (primarily in professional services and technology sectors) across the world with 49% of offices located in EMEA, 31% in the USA, 13% in Canada, 5% in LATAM, and 3% in APAC region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Five-Day Office Week Is Over<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the key insights that stood out for us was the end of the five-day office week. This is clear when we look at the frequency of office visits per week: 40 to 64% of the employees worldwide are coming to the office only once a week<\/strong>, and only 10-26% of the employees are now visiting the office 4-6 days a week. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peak Occupancy Varies Across Regions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We’ve also found that the average peak occupancy rates varied widely across the regions in October-November \u2013 from 23% in EMEA and 22% in APAC to 16% in the USA, 13% in Canada, and 9% in LATAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The daily peak occupancy<\/strong> is the highest number of persons observed in the office at the same time in a day. It helps understand the occupancy of an office during the busiest time in a day. It is different from the daily unique occupants<\/strong>, which represents the number of unique persons that visit the office in a day. For example: If two people visited the office from 8 AM \u2013 3 PM, and three people visited the office from 3 PM \u2013 5 PM in a day, then, the peak occupancy for the day is three people and the daily unique occupants would be five people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Duration of Visits, Most Popular Weekdays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When people do come to offices, they tend to stay longer, in particular in Canada and the USA, where 55% and 47% of the employees respectively spent 7-12 hours per visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Popular days for office visits in November 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In EMEA, USA, and Canada, the majority of the people preferred coming to the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. In APAC, Tuesday seemed a popular day for people to visit the office. And in LATAM, surprisingly, most people visited the office on Fridays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
