Office assessment

Keepfactor researches the functioning of office buildings by assessing its tenants and occupiers. What do employees actually find important? What aspects make them feel good? This information enables lanlords and property managers to make targeted and effective investments in the office building, enhancing the wellbeing and occupancy satisfaction and the performance!

OFFICE ASPECTS

Keepfactor conducts the assessment by asking every tenant to rate several aspects of the building, and five aspects of the property management. These aspects represent the elements that influence the performance of a building and its surroundings:

• Accessibility
• Parking
• Internal climate
• General facilities
• Sustainability
• Interior
• Exterior
• Light and acoustics
• Security
• Fit out
• Health and wellbeing

SCORING – WEIGHING

First, the respondents are asked to grade each aspect with a score between 0 and 10 and weigh individual aspects to indicate which they believe are the most important. After that, they can select specific items that could be improved.

This provides insight in the weighted performance of buildings and property management. Aspect with poor scores and major importance need improvement. In the diagram, the outliers are important. Which aspects cause good or bad ratings?

BENEFITS FOR TENANTS

• Transparent dialogue with the landlord
• Result could lead to focused investment in accommodation
• (Dis)satisfaction of staff becomes apparent

Both the owner and the tenant can receive the outcome of the assessment enhancing the possibilities to communicate about the aspects. Based on this information, the landlord will be able to present and/or implement more focused building improvement proposals to tenants. For owners, it will become easier to determine where extra attention must be concentrated..
