Underused offices paid for at full cost, hidden expenses embedded in traditional contracts, and limited visibility into the cost structure are all brought to the surface. <\/p><p> <\/p><p><strong>2.Spatial &#038; Operational Fit<\/strong><\/p><p>This dimension assesses how closely the layout reflects actual work patterns. An office designed for everyone to be present full-time is poorly suited to hybrid teams whose attendance peaks on three days a week and whose activities change throughout the day. It measures the extent to which the physical workspace is designed around people\u2019s behaviours, in line with the principles of <a href=\"https:\/\/limitlessworkspace.com\/article\/activity-based-working-stella-santa-giulia\/\">Activity-Based Working.<\/a>  <\/p><p> <\/p><p><strong>3.People &#038; Performance<\/strong><\/p><p>This dimension measures the impact of the workplace environment on employee experience, focus, engagement, and the ability to attract talent. The workspace influences both well-being and the company\u2019s attractiveness as an employer. It brings the employee perspective into workspace decision-making, complementing the economic dimension with the lived experience of the people who use the space.  <\/p><p> <\/p><p><strong>4.Flexibility &#038; Future Readiness<\/strong><\/p><p>This dimension assesses workspace scalability, contractual flexibility, the role of enabling technology, and readiness for change over a two- to three-year horizon.

The WAI addresses these three weaknesses through a systematic approach. <\/p><p> <\/p><p>When the result is expressed as a number, the conversation changes. A score of 2.8 out of 4 in the Spatial &#038; Operational Fit dimension becomes a starting point for a discussion between HR and real estate, whereas \u201cthe layout does not work\u201d remains a subjective impression. The score does not make the decision, but it gives structure to the discussion and makes it possible to compare different situations over time or across locations.  <\/p><p> <\/p><p>According to CBRE data (2026), Activity-Based Working concepts more than doubled within a year across the projects analysed, rising from 17% to 40%.
