📌Hello, Product Hunt 😻
My name is Tomer Sharon, and I am the co-founder and CXO (Chief Experience Officer) at anywell.
Today we are launching anywell’s workplace experience platform. We built this product with our fantastic team to help companies struggling to facilitate hybrid work. These companies:
💣 Overspend on offices that have become ghost towns
❤️🩹 Have many employees who don’t meet enough in person at the office
🤕 Leadership has trouble getting an accurate picture of the reality of hybrid work
🤯 As the pandemic pendulum swings and the reality of office and remote work is still taking shape and form, CFOs and COOs walk every morning to their offices and cringe at the sight of empty floors and massive amounts spent on lease agreements and building maintenance. Employees spend hours commuting daily only to realize their people work from home. Leadership is in the dark about attendance because it’s hard to measure and track.
🏆 Introducing anywell. anywell is a workplace experience platform focusing on software-only solutions for hybrid work. anywell offers a unique dashboard that reveals office utilization, costs, and employee workplace experience. The platform provides straightforward workplace allocation and booking and supports shifting and maximum utilization of office space and real estate.
📊 Data is gathered from employees using the anywell Slack app (MS Teams coming soon) without introducing another tool people need to use. Installation is fast and smooth, and the value shows itself within minutes.
👌🏼 Dear Producthunt community member: We would love your feedback and questions about the platform. Feel free (and it is free) to install our Slack app and start using anywell with your team. We are SOC-2 certified, Slack app directory approved, and have big plans for the future. Hit us up! Tell your friends!
We appreciate your support 😻 and May the Fourth be with you ⭐
Tomer, on behalf of the anywell team

@tsharon This looks like it would be fantastic to have a better sense of who's going into the office. But there's also lots of room to design potential benefits to employees themselves. e.g., I hate making the effort to go into the office only to discover no one else is there, and I hate having to guess which days are worthwhile to go in. Could you play as some sort of matchmaker (hey, Thursday might be a good day for you to go in; Tomer will go in if you go) or assistant (the best day for you to WFH is Monday)? That might avoid Grudin's classic groupware challenges.

@tsharon looks amazing, great launch!

@tsharon Great idea! Upvoted. Good luck!

UserlensGreat launch @tsharon! Does this work based on employees reporting whether they will go to office during the day or not?

@hai_ta1 Thank you! Yes, employees report their office attendance plans and actual attendance through the anywell Slack app.

Reap PayThis is a real good initiative!
We have similar problem that some days our desks are over booked and some days the office is dead. We cannot solve this problem as people do not like to pre-book and the didn't commit and show up after they pre-booked.
I wonder how are you encouraging your client to enforce or at least encourage their employees to commit to the the booking that they have made?

@anson_leung key question! Our bots look at usage data and, without nagging (too much), encourage employees to provide their attendance updates. Currently, we provide three types of notifications to employees: (1) Make attendance plans. (2) See you tomorrow (to remind you that you committed to work from the office). (3) Someone you care about decided to work from the office or not. We continue to smarten up our bots to ensure you have an updated picture of office attendance.

Reap Pay@tsharon Make sense! Thanks for your tips and all the best for your launch!

Is it more for employees having better coordination or for managers to understand office utilization? What’s the egg, and what’s the chicken?
Report

@karin_gross
Both! No chickens or eggs are involved. Employees benefit from a better office experience since they are more coordinated with their teammates, and managers feel more in control when they have an accurate picture of office utilization. While the former leads to higher employee satisfaction and retention, the latter has the potential to save huge costs for any company.

QuilgoIn the era of hybrid work, this is so needed. I myself am not a hybrid approach lover, but most of the companies do and this is what matters in terms of demand. A question: how *employees* would benefit from it?

@igorpavlov Thank you for your kind words; we think so too!
As for your question, anywell helps employees make better decisions about when to invest in a long commute. Our research shows that the primary reason people show up to the office is the presence of “their people” there. Knowing when your people are at the office will make your life easier.

🎉🌟👍💥 Congrats @tsharon and anywell on your launch which is so relevant in today's work environment. I've a question if I may....
I understand we will get utilization data, but it’s raw. Some costs are fixed (e.g. rent), and some are non-fixed (e.g. food, parking, HVAC - heating, ventilation, air conditioning etc.). Can you break it down somehow?
And May the Fourth be with you too ⭐😊

Thanks @lisa_fraser! Once a company provides anywell with ongoing utilization data and our system learns its patterns, anywell spits back insights about potential cost savings broken down and itemized. For example, anywell can tell you your company can meet its needs with only two rather than three floors based on attendance data. It can also tell you that you can shut off or significantly decrease office cleaning on Fridays due to low attendance.

@mmarmorstein Neat, thank you for clarifying.
