Measuring What Matters: How Data-Driven Insights Strengthen Workplace Investments
At Bentley Workspaces, we believe every workplace should be more than just a fitout—it should be a purposeful investment that drives business performance, supports your people, and adapts to the future.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Axiom Workplaces, the creators of wrkx INDEX™, to bring world-class workplace measurement tools into the Tasmanian market. Together, we’re combining Axiom’s research-backed analytics with Bentley’s local expertise in strategy, design, and construct—so clients can make decisions with confidence and see the tangible return on their workplace investment.
Why Measurement Matters
Workplace projects can be one of the largest investments your organisation makes outside of property. But how do you prove that it’s more than a cost? How do you show it delivers value?
This is where wrkx INDEX™ adds real power. It:
Measures how well your workplace supports engagement, productivity, wellbeing, collaboration, and culture.
Identifies gaps and opportunities across 21 design elements, from focus spaces to connection zones.
Creates a baseline before the project and a post-occupancy snapshot to show the impact of your investment.
For executives, it gives confidence that every dollar is being directed towards outcomes that matter. For staff, it builds trust by giving them a voice in the process.
Turning Insights Into Action
What sets this approach apart is its practicality. It’s not just data for data’s sake—it’s insight you can act on.
If staff report low satisfaction with focus spaces, we can design more quiet zones.
If connection scores lag, we can create environments that spark chance encounters and collaboration.
If wellbeing and inclusion scores are high, we protect and amplify those strengths in the new design.
In short: wrkx INDEX™ tells us what’s working, what’s not, and where the best returns will come from.

The ROI of a Measured Workplace
The benefits of this approach are tangible:
Cost certainty – spend on what staff truly need, not on guesswork or “wish-lists.”
Productivity gains – even a small lift in engagement or focus has huge financial impact, since people costs are your largest investment.
Change management – when staff see their input reflected in the final design, they become advocates, not resistors.
Future readiness – insights highlight how the workplace can flex and grow, avoiding costly relocations or premature refits.
At Bentley, we’ve seen firsthand how aligning strategy, measurement, and delivery creates workplaces that not only look good on day one, but continue to perform financially and operationally for years to come.
A Tool for Trust and Transparency
Workplace change can be challenging. By inviting staff to share feedback before and after a project, organisations demonstrate that their people’s voices genuinely shape the outcome. That builds trust and smooths the journey—something we know is critical in Tasmanian workplaces where culture and relationships matter deeply.
The Bentley + Axiom Partnership
Our partnership with Axiom Workplaces ensures Tasmanian organisations have access to one of Australia’s most advanced workplace measurement tools. By pairing wrkx INDEX™ with Bentley Workspaces’ end-to-end strategy, design, and construct methodology, we help clients:
Base decisions on real data, not assumptions.
Link workplace investments directly to ROI.
Deliver environments that are evidence-based, people-centred, and future-ready.
Because at the end of the day, a workplace shouldn’t just be a cost line on your balance sheet—it should be a performance tool that helps your people and your business thrive.
