Strategic Workspaces.
Designed for Success.

At State of Work, we are Transition Directors, guiding businesses through the complex process of workplace change. We ensure that every decision about space, culture, and technology aligns with strategic business goals—before costly commitments are made. Whether you're adopting flexible work, redesigning your office, or managing organisational change, we provide clear, data-driven solutions that enhance engagement, boost productivity, and drive long-term success.

 

Our Mission

To design people-focused, sustainable workplaces that enhance collaboration, efficiency, and employee wellbeing—helping businesses navigate change and the transition to a new workplace with confidence.

Successful modern workplaces focus on overall experiences — physical, virtual, and with people. It might feel overwhelming, but it can be manageable. State of Work is here to assist with the changes.

Our Impact

  • +20% increase in employee engagement post-transformation

  • Optimized workspace efficiency and utilization

  • Higher retention and workplace satisfaction scores

 

Our Values

  • Wellbeing – Workplaces should support people, not just provide space. We create environments that foster mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. A great workspace enhances engagement, reduces stress, and helps businesses retain top talent.

  • Sustainability – We believe in designing workspaces that are built to last—financially, operationally, and environmentally. From optimising space use to prioritising responsible materials and energy efficiency, we help businesses make smart, future-proofed choices.

  • Strategic Alignment – Every workplace decision should be purposeful. We help organisations ensure their investments in space, technology, and culture align with business goals—whether it's talent retention, operational efficiency, or brand identity.

  • Clarity & Simplicity – We cut through the noise. Many workplace projects struggle due to complexity, misalignment, or decision fatigue. We bring a structured, human-first approach that makes workplace change easier to navigate and deliver.

  • People-Centric Design – A workplace isn’t just about desks and walls—it’s about how people work, collaborate, and connect. We ensure every workplace reflects the unique culture and DNA of the organisation it serves.
