Transform Your Workspace
A hybrid work model requires a smart building
Organisations worldwide are reimagining workspaces to attract and retain talent and achieve business goals, such as a net zero journey. This requires technology that supports a true, dynamic hybrid work model.
The immediate challenge
How to balance safety and productivity.
How do I safely get people back to the office and provide the right experience, while really understanding how space is being used and occupied?
- Employee safety is key to getting people back into the office, and the use of technology to monitor and report air quality helps build that trust.
- Work itself is changing. In a hybrid world, we know that 98% of all meetings will have a co-worker accessing the meeting through video conference.
- As companies continue to commit to net zero, buildings will need to be retrofitted and designed to support the supply of sustainable energy while managing energy demand.

- Allow you to manage and measure your space and its energy usage.
Why is a smart building an important part of your real estate hybrid strategy?
A Cisco digital infrastructure is the backbone of both your hybrid and sustainability journey. Because it:
- Supports a safe return to work for the worker, while helping organisations truly understand their occupancy and space usage behavior.
- Enables seamless collaboration across distributed teams, locations, and organisations to support a hybrid model for both on-site and remote work.
- It is the foundation for managing your energy supply and demand so you can realise and report on your net zero goals.
How do you build a smart building for Hybrid work?
- Today: Wireless access points, sensors, and Webex end points can help you gain visibility into your occupancy, indoor air quality, and space behavior.
- Tomorrow: The use of a digital network to support the supply of DC power, while managing the demand of your energy usage, will accelerate your net zero journey.
- Smart buildings actively adapt to meet your needs. They sense vacancies and adjust for better efficiency—while your hybrid workplace adjusts dynamically based on space demand, and fully supporting a workforce that may be connecting from anywhere.
