Evidence-based insight for better workplace outcomes

Sharing practical expertise that helps teams design, specify and manage better workplaces

Great workspaces are the result of informed decisions. Understanding how products perform, how materials behave, how acoustics influence comfort and how different environments support team activity all contributes to better outcomes for designers, project managers and clients. Envoy’s knowledge and professional development service provides clear, evidence-based learning that strengthens capability across the entire workplace ecosystem.

We create and share high-value content tailored to architects, interior designers, facility managers, workplace strategists and business leaders. Our goal is to demystify technical concepts, challenge assumptions and provide practical knowledge that can be applied directly to real projects.

Clear, accessible guidance that helps teams understand what really matters

Turning complex topics into practical, usable insight

Workspace design involves many intersecting specialties including acoustics, ergonomics, furniture specification, compliance, durability, lifecycle planning and more. These topics often feel overwhelming, especially when viewed through technical documentation or inconsistent manufacturer claims.

Envoy simplifies this by presenting information in a clear, accessible and context-driven way. We help teams understand:

  • how to evaluate product performance beyond marketing language
  • how acoustics influence collaboration, privacy and wellbeing
  • where pods and enclosed spaces add meaningful value
  • what to consider when specifying high-use commercial furniture
  • how materials support durability, maintenance and lifecycle outcomes
  • the difference between design intent and real-world usability
  • how to align product selection with work patterns and zoning strategies

This insight empowers project teams to make decisions with confidence rather than guesswork.

Collaborative insight

Optional CPD sessions for designers and workplace teams

Envoy can provide Continuing Professional Development style sessions for architectural practices, design studios and workplace strategy teams. These sessions are crafted to be practical, evidence-backed and highly relevant to the realities of modern workplace delivery.

Our CPD-style presentations may include:

  • acoustic fundamentals explained simply
  • real-world pod performance and placement guidance
  • understanding material suitability for commercial environments
  • sustainability considerations and responsible product selection
  • the impact of reconfigurability and modularity in hybrid workspaces
  • lessons learned from complex installations and relocations
  • practical insights into coordinating workspace projects from design to delivery

Each session is delivered in plain language with clear examples, case studies and application-focused discussion.

Sharing expertise to elevate industry knowledge and practice

Collaboration with industry professionals

We regularly collaborate with architects, designers, acoustic consultants and workplace researchers to develop content and share expertise across the industry. These conversations help elevate collective understanding, encourage better documentation practices and promote evidence-based design.

This collaboration also ensures our insights align with emerging trends such as flexible work environments, neuroinclusive design considerations, hybrid working behaviours, acoustically balanced open plans and the renewed importance of wellbeing in workplace design.

Navigate complex design challenges.

Insights that support every stage of a project

Beyond CPD, Envoy publishes guides, articles, case studies, best-practice frameworks and product education pieces. These resources support teams during:

  • early concept development
  • preliminary product evaluation
  • specification and documentation
  • acoustic planning and zoning
  • procurement and lifecycle considerations
  • post-occupancy refinement

We shape content with the intent of helping teams avoid common pitfalls and build deeper confidence when navigating complex design challenges.
