"Over the last few years, obviously like everybody else in the world, it was the question of: "Hey, we're returning to the office. How do we do that? What does an office look like?” reflected Dale. “That's where we had an opportunity to use Robin to solve a pretty significant challenge."
“Robin is a user-friendly platform, Right off the bat, I could see people engaging with it more than, in the past, with other office reservation systems. Nobody likes a system that is difficult to navigate.”
"We knew that moving forward, the office would not be the same as before, in terms of the layout, square footage and the tools we would use to welcome people back."
“We are a meeting-heavy culture, we have daily standups, we're mostly a dev org. All these things that we needed to help people support collaboration weren't happening effectively.”
“A lot of people have joined the company since the pandemic and our switch to a distributed workforce model, so that means they have never met their colleagues in person . Many are timid about coming into the new space so easing that feeling is one of our key objectives."
“Initially people thought we could use a Word document or a spreadsheet and we quickly realized that's not going to be feasible for us.”
“Having worked with Robin for over a year, I can see the amount of features and updates constantly being added to the platform, the continuous improvements Robin makes, and how they help us adapt all of it to our specific needs. These improvements help us do more.”
“We don’t want our company culture to be a box of images on Zoom.”
“Robin's been so helpful for us, particularly around those times when everyone's coming together in the office and needs to book a place to sit.”
“It’s like going to a guest house: you want to feel like someone has prepared everything for you. We want to ensure that our employee’s experience of the office is well-considered.”
"I have to admit that I was initially worried when my local office adopted the “hoteling” approach to seating. All these worries melted away once I started using Robin to book my seat and plan my office visits."
“It was a cultural shift that we wanted to implement - the concept of agility.”
“That's the general gist of any new space. If we shrink space, we repurpose the equipment and populate the remaining area.”
“A hybrid work environment means flexibility and prioritizing different items at different times. ”
“But we also had to figure out how to manage that. How do we allow people to come in with the peace of mind that they’re going to have a desk, that they’re going to have a space to work.”
