Instructions for Joan users

The Joan Workplace app and the MyJoan web portal are here to make managing your workplace easier than ever.

With Joan, you can:

  • Book desks, meeting rooms, parking spots, and shared assets.
  • See who’s in the office and when.
  • Manage your weekly or monthly work schedule.
  • (For admins and office managers) Use Visitor Management to streamline and track guest arrivals — learn more here.

Joan is designed to be simple and intuitive, whether you’re booking on your phone or in a web browser.
