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.

This 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?
Tomer Sharon
@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.

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

Great launch @tsharon! Does this work based on employees reporting whether they will go to office during the day or not?
Tomer Sharon
@hai_ta1 Thank you! Yes, employees report their office attendance plans and actual attendance through the anywell Slack app.

Congratulations on your launch! It's great to see a workplace experience platform like anywell that can help companies facilitate hybrid work. With the unique dashboard that reveals office utilization, costs, and employee workplace experience, it seems like anywell can be a valuable tool for companies trying to navigate the new reality of work. What are some of the key features of anywell's workplace experience platform, and how can it help companies overcome the challenges of hybrid work?
Tomer Sharon
@cata Thanks, Nick! Other than our fantastic dashboard (I'm being very objective here) anywell's key features are: 1. Team coordination through Slack. 2. Workspace allocation and booking. 3. Office event publishing. 4. Default weekly plan. 5. Tracking and reporting both planning and attendance.

How do you know who’s attending?
Gal Ofir
@aloncarmel The anywell Slack app and its bots take care of that. The app asks employees to update their office attendance plans and report their attendance. Alternatively, anywell integrates with facilities' badging systems and pulls attendance data from there.

We work on predefined days. Why do we need it? And good luck!!!
Michal Marmorstein
@yair_bar_on Assuming I interpret ‘predefined days’ as fixed days individual employees or teams show up to the office (e.g., Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays), the answer is that people don’t always comply with their company’s hybrid policy. This miss-coordination leads to situations where people show up to the office realizing their team members are working remotely, or even worse; they choose to work from home only to realize their team is at the office. In addition, companies using anywell save a ton of real estate and office maintenance expenses once they realize the accurate attendance picture.
Yossi Erdman
Wouldn't it be considered a "big brother" by the employees?
Gadi Royz
@yossierd Hey Yossi, Many companies have already implemented and regularly use badging systems for entering their offices, rooms, areas, or floors. These companies have information about where their employees are in the office, and employees are aware of it and learn to accept it as a reasonable practice. anywell is not introducing anything different; anywell does not track employees’ whereabouts, does not use employees’ smartphone location data, and does not use any hidden or evil pattern to get more data about where people are. Anywell asks employees to report their planned and actual attendance and provides them with an immediate personal benefit - save their commute when it’s not necessary and suggest commuting when it’s worth it.

Good luck!!
