As of early 2025, the corporate landscape is witnessing a significant shift back to in-office work. Major companies such as Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, and AT&T have implemented mandates requiring employees to return to the office full-time, reversing the remote and hybrid work policies that became prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As back-to-office mandates become more common, large employers face a significant challenge: accommodating returning employees while maintaining an efficient and productive work environment. Many organizations downsized their office spaces or reconfigured their layouts during the pandemic, anticipating a more hybrid workforce. Now, with employees returning in larger numbers, businesses need smarter solutions to manage shared spaces effectively. This is where intelligent scheduling solutions like the Evoko Kleeo and Naso from Biamp become essential.

The challenges of the return-to-office movement

Employers implementing return-to-office policies have quickly realized that traditional office management strategies no longer suffice. The modern workplace must accommodate employees with varying schedules, requiring seamless coordination of shared desks, meeting rooms, and even parking spaces. Without an effective scheduling system, organizations risk inefficiencies, overcrowding, and employee dissatisfaction.

Common pain points include:

  • Desk shortages or conflicts – Employees arrive at the office only to find that all available desks are occupied.
  • Meeting room bottlenecks – Teams struggle to book collaborative spaces, leading to frustration and wasted time.
  • Parking chaos – Limited parking availability creates an added layer of inconvenience for employees commuting to the office.
  • Lack of visibility – Without a centralized scheduling system, employees and facility managers lack real-time information on space availability, leading to underutilization of resources.
