Many organizations have saved tens of millions of dollars by implementing a desk sharing (hoteling) environment for their mobile workers. Here`s an ROI calculator you can use to determine the potential cost savings for implementing a desk sharing environment in your organization. The results are presented for several different worker to workplace ratios for the mobile workers. (1) Savings for implementing a Shared Workspace Environment To use the calculator you`ll need to know the following information about your workplace: Either the total facility floorspace or the average floorspace per employee Your annual rental cost per square foot Total worker population in the facility. an estimate of the percent of workers who can share workspaces (e.g. 20% [Click here for the Shared Space Cost Savings Calculator] ------------------------------------------------- (2) Reduction in the Cost of Churn Churn is the total number of employee workplace moves made in a year, divided by the total number of office employees in the facility, multiplied by 100. A churn rate of 75% means that three quarters of the employees move to a new workplace location every year. Churn rates exceeding 100% are becoming more and more common as organizations adapt themselves to changing business conditions. You might not be able, or even want, to reduce your amount of employee moves, but you certainly will want to reduce the cost of each move. Here`s one way you can reduce your cost of churn: AgilQuest`s OnBoard can automatically reroute a worker`s telephone extension when the worker moves from one workplace location to another. This eliminates the cost of manually moving the telephone extension (estimated to be anywhere from $100 to $200 per move.) If you have a high level of churn you can easily save more than the cost of implementing OnBoard. You receive all the benefits of OnBoard for virtually no cost! Here is a calculator that will show you the potential cost savings (through automatic telephone routing) for different churn rates. This calculator includes the cost of implementing OnBoard...numbers presented are net savings. Only one input is needed and that is the number of workers you have in your facility.
