Feature

You go into the office every couple of weeks, and always book the same desk. It’s your favorite. It’s close to the snacks 🍿 It has a great view 🪟 We get that.

Robin just made it easier to snag that same desk whenever you make a trip into the office.

Now, when you log into Robin and want to book a desk, you can do so from within the work week view! We’ll let you know if the desk you used last time is available if you want to use it again. If not, no worries - you can book a different one from the same window.

Go ahead - book that desk before it’s gone

Feature

Activities help people come together around common interests and connect with one another in meaningful ways. So far, we’ve seen Robin customers host bring your dog 🐶 to work days, company lunches 🥪 and spooky soirees 🎃 – all of which anyone can join.

All Robin users and admins can now view and join Activities in Robin directly from the mobile app. This makes activity planning even simpler and more seamless.

Go ahead and try it out in the mobile app. Choose your title, date and audience to get started. Happy planning!

Feature

The modern office requires a different approach to management than ever before, and workplace leaders need the right information 📊 at the right moments to sustain a long-term hybrid strategy.

Organizations have told us that they want to understand utilization across their office spaces in order to better understand how employees are using their spaces, which are the most popular 💯, peak days/times and so much more.

Robin’s new Workplace Insights dashboard help leaders:

• Understand utilization rates across all buildings, floors, desks and spaces

• Identify which desks and spaces are used the most/least

• Visualize trends of how your employees are using office spaces, amenities, etc.

Our goal? Helping workplace leaders properly budget and plan for the future. Visit Analytics > Workplace Insights to start digging in, or learn more in this help doc.

Upgrade

Since the beginning, we've focused on building tech solutions that fuel vibrant workplaces 🚀 As the office has evolved, though, so have we.

Something that needed an update? What customers could add include on their floor plans within Robin – offices go beyond just desks and spaces!

Admins can now add a variety of furnishings anywhere on their custom floor plans, including couches 🛋, tables, stools and more (🏓, anyone?)! Rollout starts today, so be on the lookout.

You can learn more about furnishings here. Happy decorating!

Feature

A workplace experience platform should fit seamlessly with the tools you already use – not cause extra work or headache. With teams more distributed than ever, work week coordination should be frictionless.

This week, our Microsoft Teams integration got a little bit sweeter 🍭. Customers who use the Robin app within Teams can now:

• Easily see who plans to go to the office from inside Teams.

• Choose to join their teammates in the office, and be prompted to go into Robin and book a desk or space (if they want to).

Read more about how to set this up for Teams here.

Heads up: there is a lot more to come for Teams, so stay tuned 👀
