## Observation while you are shortly away

Our Workplace Observation Study focuses on the use of the workplace, not the activity or output of employees. In case you are not at your desk, we classify your desk as ‘in use, but unoccupied’. We also measure meeting facilities such as conference rooms and coffee corners. We recommend you to continue with your day-to-day activity as if there was no observer or Workplace Observation Study taking place.
