Small companies may keep customer records in spreadsheets while global organizations use multiple systems to manage everything from HR data, sales, assets and workplace management.<\/p>\n<p>But having data doesn\u2019t automatically mean the reports gleaned from that information are accurate and actionable. You know the saying, \u201cGarbage in, garbage out\u201d? Businesses may be great at collecting data, but is it the right data? Is it being used to meet objectives?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInaccurate data means you\u2019re basing decisions on bad information, which may mean building a workplace that doesn\u2019t meet employees\u2019 needs or drains facility management budgets,\u201d said Kimberly Castle, account director with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildingi.com\/\">Buildingi<\/a>, an IWMS\/BIM consulting firm and <a href=\"https:\/\/archibus.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Archibus<\/a> partner. \u201cYou may also be leasing too much space because bad data shows that 15% of your workforce doesn\u2019t work in the physical office anymore &#8211; when the true figure is much higher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many businesses are learning a hard lesson as they navigate their ongoing responses to COVID-19. The constant flux of COVID safety mandates puts greater emphasis on the need for real-time data to create processes to meet those standards. Companies must rely on accurate reports to make decisions on everything from maximum allowable occupancy for conference rooms to workstation spacing to where to position contactless circulation pathways. As work from home policies persist, most firms will seek to adjust their portfolios and add flexibility to promote workplace choice. That\u2019s where a robust data governance system comes in.<\/p>\n<p>For clarity, data governance is not the same as data management. CIO Magazine defines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cio.com\/article\/3521011\/what-is-data-governance-a-best-practices-framework-for-managing-data-assets.html\">data governance<\/a> as: <em>\u201c<\/em><em>A system for defining who within an organization has authority and control over data assets and how those data assets may be used. It encompasses the people, processes, and technologies required to manage and protect data assets.\u201d<\/em> Data management is the logistics of collecting and storing information \u2013 a must for data governance to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob Sits Where?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fellow Buildingi account director Amber Miller once helped a client combine an integrated workplace management system (IWMS) with an HR system. This common integration is designed to make it easier for users to update where they sat, so the HR platform was populated with a list of room numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then we started noticing anomalies, like people being assigned to a bathroom or hallway. We had to go back and have the client apply data governance rules to limit which types of seats and rooms were approved for the data feed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the issue of corporate tech systems not speaking the same language. Castle was helping a large life insurance company integrate data from multiple systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were all these terms that had a different meaning in every system. For example, the definition of \u2018full-time employee\u2019 or \u2018headcount\u2019 wasn\u2019t the same across the board,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd that was a problem because data reports would get sent to the CEO with glaring discrepancies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way: One person may collect and store information (data management), but a large number may access it, run reports, and use those details to make strategic decisions. If one person alters or uploads inaccurate data, the change effects everyone downstream. That can cause big problems if your job is reporting compliance levels to regulatory agencies or preparing a company\u2019s tax returns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to collect and track data, but if there\u2019s no data integrity, you\u2019ll simply get \u2018garbage-in and garbage-out,\u2019\u201d Castle said. \u201cTechnology allows us to automatically flag where things don\u2019t match; a tight and consistent data governance program is key to getting everyone on the same page.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Data Governance and COVID-19<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ups and downs of COVID-19 is creating a new urgency for companies to collect data on and analyze employee movement in the workplace. Data on occupancy, furniture arrangements, and desk reservations is a starting point for health and safety measure implementation. But without rigorous data governance, employee movement and contact tracing information are unreliable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore COVID, the industry focused on \u2018butts in seats,\u2019 or how many people are assigned to a building. But the challenge during the pandemic is that\u2019s no longer an accurate way to measure occupancy,\u201d Miller said. \u201cFor example, an employee can be assigned to a desk, but they aren\u2019t coming into the office every day. We\u2019re now looking at utilization in terms of users in building vs. users assigned to seats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Floor-to-ceiling elevation is one metric that\u2019s been impacted by COVID because it impacts air quality and flow, Miller said. Before the coronavirus forced everyone to think about ventilation in new ways, space planners didn\u2019t have cause to look across a floor layout. Now, data that was once used almost exclusively by facilities is being analyzed and acted upon by executive management, HR, and other departments.<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 has put greater emphasis on why data governance is the foundation for quality workplace data management. Companies are asking questions of data sets that weren\u2019t in the original parameters, searching for answers that will ultimately keep businesses open and employees safe. As organizations look beyond the pandemic, better data governance is critical for making confident and productive strategic decisions about workplace management now and into the future.<\/p>\n<p>Keep reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/discover-more\/blog\/workplace-management-solutions\/\">Workplace Management Solutions For Your Business<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every business collects data of some kind.
