Space ratio

What types of spaces does the entire office area consist of?

The spatial proportion index shows the composition of the space area. We divide space into six types.

Usable area per pax

This index is the average available use area of each working seat and represents the comfort level of employees in the space.

The real estate industry and the financial industry are ahead of other industries and they pay more attention to the culture of an enterprise and humanistic care.

Usable Seat per pax

This index means the average number of seats available to employees in usable area which represents the resource allocation to support the diversification of employees' behaviors. The real estate industry has abundant seating resources, setting up more private office and reception space. The index of the Internet and automobile industries is at a low level. Most of the business behaviors are carried out at the working area, which poses certain challenges to support the other behaviors and the future expansion of the number of people.

Meeting index

Meeting index means seat of Meet. Space per 100 pax, it represents the allocation of resources to support employee meeting behavior. From the perspective of meeting resources, finance and real estate industry have more meeting room seats, because they have more training and administrative reception requirements than other industries, and they need pay more attention to the planning for large and super-large meeting rooms. There are less meeting room seats in Internet and automotive industry, which may cause the insufficiency of private or official collaborating area.

Collaborative index

Open collaborating index represents the resources to support employee collaborating behavior.As enterprises' demand for space flexibility increases, enterprises are setting more ratio of the communicating area. Although the Internet and automobile are relatively low in the index, there is little difference between them and other industries, indicating that they are more inclined to be an open and convenient communication environment.

Storage index

The storage index is divided into departmental storage in open space and closed storage. More and more enterprises replace physical objects with intelligent means, and the demand for storage is reduced. Finance and real estate industry are still equipped with more storage space, which may have some paper certificate materials and business requirements for daily dress. The high storage index of automobile industry cannot is related to the industry's storage management of equipment and parts.
