Free checklist

The Workspace Audit Checklist.

Forty scored checks across five sections, built from the research we have covered. Walk your own floor, score each item from 0 to 2, and see where you land against the bands at the back. Printable, one page per section.

The five sections

  1. 01 Layout and noise 8 checks Whether the space matches the work people are actually doing in it.
  2. 02 Focus and interruption 8 checks How often attention gets broken, and by what.
  3. 03 Equipment and autonomy 8 checks Whether the tools people depend on stay usable across a full shift.
  4. 04 Safety and training 8 checks What the training covers versus what gets forgotten by week three.
  5. 05 Retention signals 8 checks The early indicators that people are on their way out.
