Quick answer

How does LIZ support collaboration in a hybrid office?

LIZ shows employees when and where their colleagues are working in the office. Employees can search for colleagues, book a desk nearby, save favourites and reserve shared team areas. This makes it easier to coordinate office days, increases opportunities for face-to-face interaction and supports spontaneous collaboration.

The challenge

Work flexibly without losing connection

Hybrid work creates flexibility. Without transparency about who is in the office, however, office days can feel isolated. Employees commute to the office but do not meet the colleagues they need to work with and move their collaboration back into chats and calendars.

01

Limited visibility

Teams do not know who will be in the office or where colleagues are sitting.

02

Too much coordination

Shared office days require numerous messages and calendar requests.

03

Fewer encounters

Informal knowledge sharing and creative conversations happen less frequently.

04

Isolated office days

Employees are in the office but still work largely alone or in video meetings.

05

Slower projects

Missing face-to-face coordination can slow down decisions and project progress.

06

Unclear office value

When relevant colleagues are absent, the office offers little added value compared with working from home.

The LIZ solution

Make shared office days easy to plan

LIZ combines desk booking with colleague search, attendance visibility and team features. Companies remain in control of which information is visible and who can access it.

LIZ connects more than workplaces. It connects people.

Find colleagues

The colleague search shows whether relevant people are in the office and where they are working.

Book nearby

Employees can select an available desk near their project partners, team members or favourites.

Bring teams together

Team areas, multiple bookings and shared reservations support coordinated office days.

Stay informed

Mobile notifications help employees coordinate bookings, attendance and available resources.

The result

An office designed for collaboration

01

More interaction

Coordinated attendance creates more opportunities for direct conversations and knowledge sharing.

02

Stronger teams

Shared office days support team culture, relationships and informal learning.

03

Meaningful office days

Employees come into the office with a clear purpose and find the people and resources they need.

04

Faster coordination

Project partners are easier to find, reducing search time and unnecessary calendar requests.

05

Greater flexibility

Teams coordinate office attendance without giving up the benefits of flexible working.

06

Measurable development

Attendance and utilization trends show how employees use office space and collaboration areas.
