The challenge is finding the right people so you can capture insightful feedback. But once you have the right team in place, you can work together to find a solution that supports employee experience and business goals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Facility and workplace leaders<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Although this choice is obvious, it\u2019s worth remembering all the reasons why. The first is that the software can help strengthen and streamline all their workflows. It\u2019s going to change the facility management team\u2019s entire operations, from space planning to planning capital projects. They need to be part of the selection process because of how much it\u2019s going to affect them.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That said, a modern unified platform brings together people and data from across the organization. So, while it\u2019s obvious you need facility managers on your selection team, these days it\u2019s just as obvious that you need more than just this one group.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Also, it\u2019s likely that the facility and workplace leaders are the people who initially petitioned for the project, so they\u2019ve already invested time learning about available options. Of all the groups on the selection team, they come in with the most knowledge and best-informed opinions. They can tell you the challenges they currently face, the features they want, and which platforms deserve the team\u2019s attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"none\">Director of real estate<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The commercial real estate (CRE)\u00a0director oversees everything from acquisitions and leasing to property management and tax issues. Like other leaders in the organization, their primary goal is to protect the organization\u2019s bottom line, including choosing assets wisely and keeping an eye on space use.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the most important features of modern workplace tech is tracking space utilization data. Depending on the platform and how the organization sets everything up, that might include sensors, a visitor management system, and room and desk booking features.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The better the organization uses space, the smarter its real estate investments and the healthier the bottom line. For example, the right data can help the CRE director see how much and which types of office spaces employees need to best support workplace trends. They could reduce\u00a0two floors of office space into one, and then change half the individual desks into shared meeting spaces. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By bringing the director of real estate into the conversation, you can ensure the solution your organization chooses will help achieve their current space utilization goals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">They can also help future-proof decisions. Just like the facility and workplace leaders, the CRE director follows both company- and industry-wide trends, so they know which software features can help them best adapt to trendlines, including the shift to the hybrid work model, the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/h1%202024%20workplace%20index\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">rise of the midweek mountain<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and the growing pressure to meet sustainability goals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Employees<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the end, the platform exists to support the workforce by optimizing the workplace environment. But asking every employee in an organization to participate in the selection process\u00a0just isn\u2019t possible. Instead, it can be helpful to put together a sample group or take a poll to determine what\u2019s most important to the workforce. By determining the most common needs and concerns and finding a solution that helps people overcome these issues, team members will be more likely to adopt the new technology once it\u2019s rolled out.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On the topic of adoption: Make sure to include in the selection process employees you know can become strong advocates for the software solution. You need people who can contribute opinions and insights during selection. But they also need to share enthusiasm during implementation and beyond. Look for employees that have the respect of their coworkers and who are already the \u201ctrendsetters\u201d in the office.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">C-Suite<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Depending on the size and structure of your organization, a member of the C-suite may only come into the mix briefly to sign off on the final decision. But not involving top-level executives earlier in the process is likely a mistake. Top-tier executives have access to sensitive data and high-level business objectives and plans\u00a0middle management might not, and it\u2019s this sort of insight that can help steer the decision toward a solution that will provide measurable, sustainable return on investment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s important to involve the C-suite. And it\u2019s just as important that everyone at the company knows about their involvement.\u00a0When the top of the organizational chart lends its weight to the project, it\u2019s easier to get every other department on board.\u00a0Without C-suite buy-in, you run the risk of lower adoption.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">IT leaders<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Traditionally, the information technology (IT) department\u2019s involvement in selecting and adopting a worktech solution depended on whether the software was on-premises or cloud-based solution. If you opt for a hosted or on-premises option, the IT team will be tasked with rolling out, integrating. and maintaining the software, so looping them into the entire conversation was crucial.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, if you went with a software as a service (SaaS)\u00a0solution, the IT team\u00a0only needed to be involved from a collaborative standpoint \u2014 helping your organization determine how to transition to a digital workplace and leverage the solution to support these efforts. Remember, the IT department is the in-house\u00a0expert on the organization\u2019s existing software, so can quickly identify which worktech\u00a0will be easiest to integrate and which might cause potential challenges.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But today, the IT department will likely want to be involved from the start, and they\u2019ll have a list of technical questions to ensure the solution meets best practices for stability and security. \u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Federal selection teams can leverage <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/discover-more\/blog\/demystifying-fedramp-compliance-and-authorization\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">FedRamp<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, a marketplace built and maintained by created by the General Services Administration in partnership with the US Department of Defense and NIST to accelerate the adoption of secure cloud solutions at government agencies.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The right solution starts with selection<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Choosing a worktech solution can be a complicated process if you\u2019re not taking the right feedback into account.
