Real Estate Management Needs to Take On Greater Importance In The Public Sector
In a report conducted by Deloitte, “Space Based Budgeting”, the lack of efficient real estate management by the English Government is highlighted.
Recently the public sector has seen cuts, these cuts are changing the shape and trimming down the size of the government leaving nearly 440,000 square meters of workspace vacant, with another 100 square meters expected to become vacant in the near future.
Mike Turley, head of Deloitte’s public sector practice, has even noted that some departments of the government have occupancy rates as low as 40%. Real estate is typically the second largest expense for an organization after personnel but it remains overlooked in many situations. If 60% of government agencies’ real estate is going unused think about the costs that are going into unused assets.
The public sector needs to make real estate management a priority. They can do this by putting real estate management solutions in place to not only measure the usage of assets but also manage resources as well. By making real estate management a priority the English Government will be able to:
- Reduce real estate costs
- Consolidate property and real estate to eliminate unused space
- Reduce energy costs and consumption

With real estate typically an organization’s second largest expense after personnel it only makes sense to know how that real estate is being utilized.

And this can lead to unnecessary real estate expansion or other unnecessary expenses that can cost thousands – or even millions of dollars. This webinar is designed to showcase the value of understanding the true utilization of real estate.

Teleworking In Federal Government Catching On Faster Than Teleworking In The Private Sector
According to a report from the Telework Research Network the practice of teleworking or telecommuting is catching on with Federal agencies much quicker than it is in the private sector. What may be more surprising is most of the growth of telecommuting inside the government took place prior to the Telework Enhancement Act.
In trying to explain why the private sector may be behind the government in adopting teleworking programs, the biggest barrier seems to be manager acceptance despite a number of studies that have shown an increase in productivity among employees who telecommute.
Implementing a telecommuting strategy at an organization can produce cost savings stemming from reduced energy consumption and even reduced real estate.
Employing PeopleCube’s energy management solutions, your organization will be eliminating unnecessary energy consumption, resulting in significant cost reductions and reduced carbon emissions.
