The Modern Workspace Reimagined

Benefits

1

Engaging Work... from Anywhere

A hybrid model brings your team the best of both worlds. Make every experience as inclusive, secure, and engaging as meeting in person with an integrated technology solution that allows the flexibility to connect and engage with your team the way you want.

2

Increased Employee Productivity

Employees should focus on the work they do, not where they do it. A Hybrid model allows employees to perform in environments that best suit their needs, so they can work smarter, not harder.

3

Fostering Resiliency

Whether you’re working halfway across the world, or from a physical office space - Hybrid work allows team members to work together effectively with their clients and team at any place, any time.

4

Improved Culture and Well-being

Reduce burnout, improve well-being, and facilitate stronger relationships with your team by building a physical workspace and culture that is focused on their preferences and needs.

What our clients have to say

Trusted By

Doug Hitchcox
Executive Vice President
As a lead broker in JLL Toronto, I collaborated with Kathryn and the Hive team for over three years. She and her team bring an empirical data-driven approach that sets the foundation for executive’s to make an informed strategic decision on workplace location, typologies and site size. Her team brings the strategy to action through their hands-on change management approach through her detailed process and methodologies. Under her advisement, my clients have thrived through their transition into adopting a new hybrid work model.
Douglas Olson
Founder of O2 Planning + Design, and Chair of the SAFE Design Council
I have worked with Kathryn on many projects, including the analysis and comprehensive redevelopment of a large national corporate campus and headquarters. Her role was the client representative overseeing both workplace analysis and providing oversight to a multi-firm design team. At all times, her analysis was rigorous, her direction clear and unambiguous, and her support for an open, and collaborative creative process between clients and consultants, was constant. Her innovative and thoughtful approach to design thinking results in projects that identify and meet real client needs in new and dynamic work environments.
R. Sean Crawford
Partner | Zeidler Architecture
Our team has worked with Kathryn and team on multiple projects over the last 7 years. As workplace designers, we greatly value the input and insight that her team has provided as road map for our shared clients towards the best use of their real estate. For multiple large clients across Western Canada, we have utilized the data and direction her team has provided to help create outstanding, award winning solutions.
Samuel Fay
Principal at Integrity Project Consulting
I had the privilege of working with Kathryn and the HiveWorks team on a multi-floor office project for Parkland. Kathryn and HiveWorks were a critical part of the project team facilitating a complex amalgamation of three separate offices spaces into a new centralized facility. We also worked together during the planning phase for the technical design & bidding of a comprehensive AV package for LifeWorks’ new Toronto office. Kathryn’s ability to work with multiple stakeholders at all levels, along with her in-depth understanding and strategic approach to change management, meant these projects were a great success for our clients. I would highly recommend Kathryn and her team and look forward to working together again.
Peter Taylor
Former Chief Information Officer
Over many years I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Kathryn. Durning this time, we faced many challenges, including an urgent relocation to temporary accommodation, buildout of our Barlow locations to temporarily house our people from Shaw Court, and significant organizational change and restructuring. Kathryn and her team were critical to our success as a company and enabled our teams to be effective and efficient at all times. I learned so much from Kathryn during this period and would have no hesitation in recommending Kathryn for future projects and initiatives.
John Vardalos
Founder and Chief Executive Officer at J5 Design
During her time working at J5, Kathryn worked in close collaboration with a team of multi-disciplinary service designers with a focus on how to leverage physical space as a strategic asset in the delivery of customer and employee experience.
Michael Ytsma
Senior Director, Corporate Services
As a Human Resources & Technology company headquartered in Toronto, the top-of-mind priority for LifeWorks will always be our people. In the spirit of this, we've been working diligently to amalgamate the team from three separate offices, into a single agile office workspace. This is no easy feat, especially during times where COVID has had an ever-changing impact. Kathryn Roche & the Hive team were able to provide approaches & solutions that allowed our team members to move quickly ahead with this mission critical real estate project. Kathryn's approach to workplace strategy, expertise & communication updates provided the leadership team with confidence that all team members were being engaged, informed & effectively folded into the relocation process, while project moved ahead. We gratefully acknowledge their contributions during these difficult times and look forward to working with them in the foreseeable future.
