PACIFIC GROVE, CA -- October 29, 2008 – In these volatile economic times, organizations are looking for ways to reduce fixed costs and are closely examining their real estate portfolios, typically their largest expense after people and technology. Yet, many organizations are ignoring a largely untapped resource: acres of empty desks. Technology has freed employees to work virtually anywhere – and they are doing so each day.


A study released today by New Ways of Working, a member organization focused on alternative workplace solutions, found that more than a quarter of employees in leading edge organizations do not work in a traditional workspace. Yet, 73% of respondents still assigned a dedicated workspace to these workers, therefore not realizing the full potential of space savings.
