The challenge
Lifetime Legal had been running a traditional departmental seating model. Teams sat in fixed areas and worked largely in isolation. The shift to hybrid working presented an opportunity to change that. Alongside the move to hotdesking, the organisation needed oversight of when people were coming in and a proper system for booking meeting rooms.
What they needed
A platform that was genuinely user-friendly at every level of digital confidence within the organisation. Cost was a real consideration. The system needed to cover desks, meeting rooms, and attendance visibility in a single tool, without requiring staff to move between multiple applications to do something simple.
The outcome
Lifetime Legal moved to hotdesking, breaking down the departmental silo structure. Attendance oversight and room booking are managed through the same platform. The organisation saw measurable improvements in management information and team performance when employees returned more regularly to the office.
The connection between attendance data and performance When attendance is tracked through a booking system, managers gain visibility into patterns they previously had no way to measure: which teams are in together, which days generate the highest collaborative activity, and where attendance is consistently low. That data is the foundation for decisions about incentive programmes, space configuration, and hybrid policy.
Breaking down silos with space design
The move from departments sitting in fixed zones to a hotdesking model is a structural intervention in how an organisation communicates. When people choose different seats each day, the informal cross-departmental conversations that produce organisational knowledge happen more frequently. Lifetime Legal recognised that the mental health of their employees had been affected by the isolation of remote working. The return strategy was deliberate: flexible working, free lunches, a relaxed dress code, and an improved wellness programme alongside the workspace technology.
Support after sign-up
Lifetime Legal specifically highlighted that they were not left to manage alone after signing up. Ongoing, responsive support after go-live is a differentiator that procurement processes rarely evaluate directly, but which determines day-to-day satisfaction with the platform.
