# Hybrid Workplace Strategy

> Hybrid workplace strategy means right-sizing your Class A footprint for peak on-site occupancy (not headcount), then leasing for flexibility — sharing ratios, sub-floor blocks, and option-rich terms.

## TL;DR
- Size for peak on-site, not total headcount.
- Most hybrid Class A occupiers settle at a 1.2:1 to 1.6:1 person-to-desk ratio.
- Build for surge days — 10–15% buffer above expected peak.
- Trade footprint for amenity density: less desk, more collaboration and phone-booth.
- Negotiate for shorter terms or termination rights — hybrid policies still drift.
- Re-measure utilisation every six months; the equilibrium is unstable.

## FAQ
### What sharing ratio should I plan for?
1.2:1 to 1.6:1 for most hybrid Class A occupiers. 2:1+ for highly flexible cultures.

### Should I shorten my lease for hybrid?
Yes — 5–7 year terms are the new norm, with explicit termination rights at year 5 on any longer deal.

### Is premium flex cheaper than a lease?
Below ~30–50 seats over a 3-year horizon in most Tier 1 markets, premium flex usually wins on total cost — and always wins on optionality.

### How much amenity area should we plan?
25–35% of net usable for non-workstation function (collaboration, phone booths, team rooms, social) in a mature hybrid Class A fit-out.

### How often should I re-measure utilisation?
Quarterly review, annual sharing-ratio recalibration.
