## Featured rationale

This shift signals demand for rightsized, flexible and multipurpose workplaces, which could reduce underused space and influence leasing, upgrading and refurbishment decisions across Jakarta’s office market.

## AI summary

Jakarta office occupiers are increasingly using actual utilisation and employee-work-pattern data to guide relocations, renewals, consolidation, refurbishment and future space requirements.

Businesses increasingly look beyond headcount when planning office spaces.

Jakarta office occupiers are increasingly reassessing how much space they need and how effectively it is being used as changing work patterns reshape workplace requirements, according to Colliers.

The traditional approach of planning offices around employee headcount and workstation numbers is becoming less relevant as employees divide their time between focused work, collaboration, meetings and flexible working arrangements, the property consultancy said.

For businesses in Jakarta, where occupiers continue to relocate, rightsize and upgrade offices, Colliers said workplace decisions increasingly need to consider whether existing space supports employee needs, current working patterns and longer-term business objectives.

Rahmat Alam, Head of Project Management at Colliers, said a data-driven Workplace Strategy can help organisations bring together employee insights, occupancy data and business requirements when assessing relocation, lease renewal, consolidation, refurbishment or future workforce growth.

"Actual utilization matters more than assumed capacity" when evaluating an office footprint, relocation or refurbishment, Colliers said. The consultancy also highlighted flexible and multipurpose spaces as a way to reduce underutilisation while allowing workplaces to adapt to organisational growth and change.

From space requirements to workplace performance

According to Colliers, a Workplace Strategy Study assesses business objectives, workforce characteristics, working patterns and actual space utilisation before translating the findings into strategic recommendations, design guidelines, space-planning requirements and an implementation framework.

Occupancy data can help determine how space should be allocated, while employee programmes can inform requirements for collaboration areas, quiet rooms and flexible event spaces. Rather than assigning dedicated rooms to every function, multipurpose environments can accommodate different activities and improve utilisation throughout the week.

Colliers said the approach also brings employee well-being and operational efficiency into the same decision-making framework, rather than treating them as separate objectives.

The consultancy added that successful implementation depends not only on workplace design but also on organisational readiness, change management and employee engagement.

For corporate real estate decision-makers, the key question is therefore shifting from simply determining how much office space an organisation requires, to assessing whether its existing or planned footprint is being used effectively, responding to changing work patterns and supporting measurable business priorities, according to Colliers.

### 雅加达写字楼承租人随着职场期望演变重新评估空间

随着不断变化的工作模式重塑职场，雅加达写字楼承租人正日益重新评估所需空间规模及其使用效率

企业在规划办公空间时，日益把考量范围扩展到员工人数之外。

据高力国际（Colliers）称，随着工作模式的变化重塑职场需求，雅加达写字楼承租人正越来越多地重新评估需要多少空间，以及这些空间的实际使用效率。

这家房地产咨询公司表示，随着员工把时间分配于专注工作、协作、会议和灵活工作安排，围绕员工人数和工位数量来规划办公室的传统做法正变得越来越不适用。

对于雅加达的企业，承租人仍在持续搬迁、合理调整规模并升级办公室。高力国际表示，职场决策越来越需要考虑现有空间是否支持员工需求、当前工作模式以及更长期的业务目标。

高力国际项目管理主管Rahmat Alam表示，数据驱动的职场策略（Workplace Strategy）可以帮助机构在评估搬迁、租约续签、整合、翻新或未来劳动力增长时，综合员工洞察、占用率数据与业务需求。

高力国际表示，在评估办公面积、搬迁或翻新时，“实际使用率比假定容纳能力更重要”。该咨询公司还指出，灵活及多功能空间可以减少利用不足，同时让职场适应组织的增长与变化。

从空间需求到职场表现

据高力国际称，职场策略研究（Workplace Strategy Study）会评估业务目标、劳动力特征、工作模式和实际空间利用情况，再将研究结果转化为战略建议、设计指引、空间规划要求及实施框架。

占用率数据有助于确定空间应如何分配，员工计划则可以为协作区、安静房间和灵活活动空间的需求提供依据。与其为每一项功能都配置专用房间，多功能环境可以容纳不同活动，并提高整周的空间使用率。

高力国际表示，这种方法还将员工福祉与运营效率纳入同一决策框架，而不是将它们视为彼此独立的目标。

该咨询公司补充称，成功实施不仅取决于职场设计，还取决于组织准备程度、变革管理以及员工参与。

据高力国际称，对企业房地产决策者而言，关键问题因此正从单纯确定机构需要多少办公空间，转向评估其现有或计划中的空间规模是否得到有效使用、是否响应不断变化的工作模式，以及是否支撑可衡量的业务优先事项。
