Consolidating headquarters buildings without negatively impacting employee experience.
Saved $6M annually in lease avoidance, $60M in total over 10 years.
Fresenius wanted to consolidate their North American headquarters buildings to reduce costs, but didn’t have the data to confidently make a decision. Manual observation studies and feedback from department leaders weren’t effective or reliable data points to support decision making.
VergeSense insights helped Fresenius optimize their headquarters by revealing that one building had only 20% space utilization. This data-driven decision avoided a costly lease renewal, saving $60M over 10 years, while ensuring the space remained efficient and employee experience was unaffected.
Only one of the two headquarters buildings was efficiently used, the other was at 20% utilization.
By giving up the lease on the underutilized building, Fresenius realized significant lease savings.
Leaders could feel confident in making the decision to surrender the lease after reviewing the low utilization rate.
Feedback confirmed no negative impact from space consolidation.
