Navigating the return to the office is complex. We’ve added Seatti to our resources page to help leadership teams balance flexibility with genuine in-person connection.
If you are leading a company right now—whether as a CEO, CHRO, or CFMO—you know that the "return to office" conversation is complicated.
Most of us aren’t trying to force everyone back to their desks five days a week. We want to maintain flexibility. But we also know that something gets lost when an office sits empty. The challenge is justifying the real estate costs and, more importantly, reviving the culture and collaboration that happens naturally when people are together.
We have been looking for tools that address this nuance, which is why we have added Seatti to our Resources page.
We specifically chose to highlight Seatti because they take a different approach to hybrid work management. Instead of focusing solely on policing attendance, their platform is built around the social aspect of work—solving the "ghost town" problem where employees commute in, only to sit alone on video calls.
Why we think it’s worth exploring:
For leadership teams at Corporates and SMEs, Seatti addresses two very specific, conflicting goals:
Encouraging attendance without mandates: Seatti uses "social nudging." It allows teams to see who is planning to be in the office and when. The idea is simple: people come into the office to see people, not desks. By increasing visibility, it encourages teams to coordinate their days voluntarily.
Making sense of your space: For those managing facilities, the platform provides clear analytics on how space is actually being utilized. This takes the guesswork out of resizing your office or restructuring your layout to fit modern working habits.
It is also practical. Seatti integrates directly into Microsoft Teams, meaning it sits within the workflow your teams are already using, rather than adding yet another app to their dashboard.
If you are currently evaluating how to make your hybrid model more sustainable and less friction-heavy, we think Seatti is a sensible place to start.
