Workplace Consultancy

Analysis documents created by Arke using their workplace consultancy service

Enhancing and optimising your work environment

Workplace consultancy helps you to understand how you use your current space and how it can be optimised for the future, supporting your business needs and ways of working. Our workplace consultants provide insights and results based on how and when your employees use the environment, how they feel about where they work, and how the workplace is perceived. This review process allows leadership and management teams to make informed decisions based on factual evidence about the work environment and how it benefits the business.

Evidence-based design

Your business’s most important assets are your people. Therefore, it’s essential when designing a new office environment to understand how your employees feel about their working environment and the various activities they perform.

However, weighing up wants and needs in a room full of voices can be overwhelming.

At Arke, we have developed a workplace consultancy process to capture and define detailed information about how your business currently operates and the scope for future change, factoring in perceived needs, well-being and physical requirements of the people within its landscape.

Our approach to workplace consultancy

It all starts with a conversation with one of our workplace consultants, who will conduct a full audit of your working environment, practices and plans for the future.

Using a range of research techniques, we gather valuable data on how your team works and interacts.

Utilising the insights from our audit, our analysts establish patterns and trends in the current way of working, identifying opportunities for improvement.

Our experts will then present you with honest and impartial design recommendations that will help enhance your workplace.

What are the benefits of Workplace consultancy?

Testimonials

They worked efficiently and professional throughout the entire process, from costing, design and furniture suggestions through to the build and completion phases. At all times, the Arke team was wholly receptive to client input and would adapt and accommodate the project accordingly.
Daniel AstaireManaging Partner at Grosvenor Law
We were also grateful for the consideration which Arke gave to the strict delivery window the building allowed; this was a big logistical challenge but they coordinated deliveries around this and made sure there was little disruption to neighbouring companies.

The completed office is light, airy and fresh. The whole team has approached the move with enthusiasm and are reacting positively to the new environment. It’s amazing Philip was able to consider our needs in every detail of the space.
Simon DunitzAAA UK & Ireland Transformation Project Manager
We are delighted with the results, working with you and the entire team at Arke has been a real pleasure, so thanks again for everything you have done. We look forward to welcoming you as our guests to see a match at the Amex when life returns to a degree of normal!
Paul BarberChief Executive and Deputy Chairman at Brighton and Hove Albion FC
Working alongside the Arke team was a pleasure. We heard of your accomplishments directly from your previous clients, and yet the levels of professionalism we were shown still surpassed our expectations. In short, your client service sets the standard.
Charl CloeteCOO at Clearance Capital
We are embracing the new layout and have found it has improved our workflow immensely and give us all a new enthusiasm for returning to the office.

The design is fresh and vibrant, we love the simplicity and the atmosphere which it has created, and the bright pops of colour throughout the space tie in brilliantly with our branding. We were able to work collaboratively with Arke to reuse existing furniture wherever possible, which was helpful.
Oli HortonPartner at GCW
The office is a joy to work in and our whole team have been very positive about returning to the office environment after such a difficult period of time. The feedback that we have had from our business clients has also been hugely complimentary.
Carol SutherlandOffice Manager at KSL

Caroline CrosswellChief Retail & Development Officer at Rapha
I want to start by thanking you for the work you have done recently at Park St. You and the team worked very effectively alongside my team and reacted exceptionally well to the changes and challenges as they came along. The space you have provided for our staff to work in a COVID Safe manner has made a real difference our business, and we have had many compliments on the work you all delivered.
Harry BrownOperations Manager at Rede Partners
Everyone at The Kite Factory is thrilled with our the new office. We chose to work with Arke because of their proactive and personal approach to the project.

Due to fire and building control regulations in the new building it was a challenge to plan for our projected head count growth. Arke were understanding and proactive in finding a solution which worked for all parties.
Ali SargeantHead of People at The Kite Factory
I just wanted to thank you again for the effort that went into creating our new home. I’ve had so many positive comments from our clients and Wagestreamers, that we’re having trouble persuading them to leave the building!

We are overjoyed to be here now, and as a business, it’s great to have some normality around the working day post Covid. The brief was; make this a better working environment than home offices - you nailed it!
