Return to office has a new meaning

Most organisations have settled the question of whether people come back. Hybrid working is the norm, and three office days a week has become the most common expectation: 89% of employers now require at least three days. The challenge now is different. Employees come in less often than employers ask, and when they do, they all choose the same days.

In the Netherlands, 65% of office staff come in on Tuesday and 63% on Thursday. On Friday, only 19% do. Experts call it the camel problem: two humps of crowded floors, with quiet, half-empty buildings in between. Across Europe, average office utilisation sits at 46% per week, against 71% on peak days.

A successful return to office strategy closes both gaps. It gives people a reason to come in, and it gives your organisation a building that works on every day, not just two.

Their colleagues are there

Colleague engagement is the strongest reason people come in. If the team is not there, the trip loses its value.

Collaboration that works better in person

Workshops, onboarding, problem-solving and client meetings benefit from a shared room.

A space that fits the task

A focus room, a well-equipped meeting room or an ergonomic desk that is ready when they arrive.

Certainty before they leave home

Knowing a desk, a room and a parking space are available removes the risk of a wasted journey.

A smooth day in the building

No searching for a free room, no fumbling with technology, no queue at reception for guests.

The "camel" problem: full on Tuesday, empty on Friday

Peak days create two problems at once. On Tuesday and Thursday, employees struggle to find a desk or a meeting room, and the office feels cramped. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you heat, light and clean floors that hardly anyone uses. This is not just a Dutch pattern: around 73% of organisations worldwide name Tuesday as their busiest office day.

Mandates alone rarely fix this. Office habits are sticky, and people come in when they expect colleagues to be there. Organisations that flatten the peaks combine clear team agreements with good data and tools that make quieter days just as attractive. Dutch asset manager Van Lanschot Kempen, for example, moved board meetings away from peak days and agreed spread days with its busiest teams. Occupancy is now stable from Monday to Thursday.

How GoBright supports your return to office

GoBright gives you the visibility and the tools to make every office day work.

Plan the office day in advance: Employees book a desk, meeting room or parking space from the app, Teams, Outlook or Google Workspace, and see who else is coming in using the week planner.

Make peak days work: Check-in, sensors and automatic release free up desks and rooms that were booked but never used, so ghost bookings no longer block space on your busiest days.

Spread demand across the week: GoBright Analytics shows which days, floors and teams drive the peaks in your office. Use those insights to agree team days and move recurring meetings to quieter days.

Measure what actually happens: Bookings only show intent. By combining booking, sensor and Wi-Fi occupancy data, you get a true picture of how your office is used and lay the foundation for a data-driven workplace. Wi-Fi occupancy runs on your existing network, so you can start a pilot within about a week, without new hardware.

Welcome guests without friction: With Visitor Management, guests pre-register, check themselves in and receive their badge on arrival. It works just as smoothly at a staffed reception as at an unmanned one.

From return to office to the right office

The data you collect for your return to office strategy also answers the bigger questions. How much space do you need? Which floors can you consolidate? Where should you invest in more meeting rooms or focus areas? With evidence from real use, you can reduce real estate and energy costs, align cleaning and facilities with actual occupancy, and design a workplace people choose to visit.

That makes return to office the first step towards Hybrid Working and smarter office space management, not a one-off policy.

Built for enterprise IT

GoBright integrates with Microsoft 365 (including Teams, Outlook and Microsoft Places), Google Workspace and TOPdesk. The platform is ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Wi-Fi occupancy data is anonymised at source.

FAQ

What is a return to office strategy?

A return to office strategy sets out when and why employees work from the office, and how the organisation supports that. A good strategy covers attendance expectations, the purpose of office days, the tools people use to plan their day and the data you use to adjust it.

How many days a week should employees be in the office?

There is no single right number. Three days is now the most common expectation. More important than the number is how evenly attendance spreads across the week, and whether teams are in on the same days.

How do you reduce peak days in the office?

Start with data on actual use per day, floor and team. Then agree team days, move recurring meetings away from peak days and make sure employees can find space and colleagues on every day of the week. Check-in and automatic release help to free up space on the busiest days.

How do you measure office occupancy without installing sensors everywhere?

Wi-Fi occupancy measurement uses your existing Wi-Fi network to show how buildings and floors are used. You can combine it with desk and room sensors where you need more detail.
