The answer

If you performed the 'Asr prayer in your workplace prayer room and one or more individuals prayed with you, then you and the others have, God willing, attained the reward of congregational prayer. However, it is better to perform the prayer in a congregational mosque, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "A man's prayer with another man is purer than his prayer alone, and a man's prayer with two men is purer than his prayer with one man, and the more numerous they are, the more beloved it is to Allah the Almighty."
