Winning at Workplace Tetris: Shifting the Space You Have to Fit Your 2027 Plan

Overview

As 2027 hiring plans take shape, the office won’t grow at the same pace. Already, 73% of organizations say their office is effectively at capacity on peak days (CBRE, 2025).

The workplace leaders who keep it working aren’t just finding desks. They’re setting the policies, reading the data, and making the calls on how a finite space gets shared. But they can’t do it alone. When hiring plans reach them late, or the rules don’t keep up with headcount, desks and rooms run short, new hires have nowhere to sit, and the workplace experience slips.

In this panel, office and workplace leaders from fast-growing companies share how they plan for growth in a finite office, and how they work with teams across the company to make room.

You’ll leave knowing how to:

  • Set a shared planning rhythm, so the teams managing space hear about hiring early enough to act
  • Stretch a finite office with desk sharing, team neighborhoods, in-office days, and booking rules, without hurting the experience
  • Turn your 2027 hiring plan into a space plan, and spot the warning signs before your office hits capacity

Plus, take home a growing office planning checklist to adapt for your 2027 plan.
