Testimonials

We help employers maximize the people, planet, and profit outcomes of their work-from-home, mobile, flexible, and in-office workplace strategies. Sometimes that means working hand-in-hand with other providers and sometimes that means making the connection and then getting out of the way. Doing what’s best for the client is how we have earned and maintained our reputation as a trusted advisor.

Clients

Bryon Sutherly

Leader, Workplace Strategies Business Unit, Sr Project Architect, Hixson Architecture and Planning

“We diligently think ahead. Our clients expect this of us. We expect it of ourselves. We engaged Kate Lister for our ‘Thought Leadership Series’ events with this rationale. She provided Workplace facts, figures, and insights from and with past, present, and future perspectives. Kate helped frame operational planning (post-pandemic world and beyond) and flexible insights that have, and will, serve our clients and Hixson well into the future.”

“There is not a more experienced authority and advisor in effective hybrid/remote work strategy. For organizations who are rethinking and reimagining the way they approach work, Kate Lister’s data-driven approach is unmatched in this global market, and can help design a business case that tracks impact, cost-savings and return on investment.”

Karen Parkhurst

Programs & Policy Director at Thurston Regional Planning Council

“The Capitol Campus Telework project provided an opportunity to work with Global Workplace Analytics once again. Kate not only updated our 2013 Bottom Line/Business Case for telework, but also wrote and reviewed chapters of the report, and provided excellent guidance and connections to resources to support the project. Our regional elected officials and statewide boards gave glowing reviews of her presentations. They found the information she provided to be timely and credible and her presentation style accessible. As we move forward with other modern work place initiatives, Kate will continue to be our first phone call for information and guidance about the current state of telework and remote work and hybrid solutions in both the public and private sectors because her work is backed by solid research.”
