ASML, a global leader in semiconductor technology, faced the challenge of shaping their back-to-office policies in a way that would balance two key priorities: maintaining high levels of collaboration among teams and maximizing the utilization of their office spaces. With a large workforce transitioning back to hybrid work, the company needed a smart, flexible approach to scheduling that would ensure teams could work effectively together while avoiding inefficient use of office resources.

ASML's leadership recognized that the key to a successful back-to-office strategy was striking the right balance between collaboration and space optimization. They wanted to avoid empty offices while ensuring that teams could come together at the right times for productive in-person collaboration. One of their main concerns was identifying the most effective “team days,” when all members of a team would be in the office together. This required careful planning to align with existing policies, employee preferences, and operational constraints.

ASML successfully implemented new back-to-office policies, supported by the insights gained through Offilancer’s simulations. A post-project survey showed a significant improvement in key metrics, including team collaboration and office space efficiency. The ability to test various scenarios before operationalizing them gave ASML the confidence that their chosen schedules were the best possible fit for their teams and their business goals. Offilancer's platform proved to be an invaluable tool in helping ASML navigate the complexities of hybrid work scheduling, delivering a tailored solution that aligned with the company’s vision for a productive and efficient workforce.
