Modern workspace requirements have evolved and many businesses now opt for a hybrid business model.
What is hybrid working?
The hybrid working model consists of employees working partly in a physical workspace and partly remotely. This model offers flexibility and studies have proven that hybrid working is here to stay. Employees have reported fewer burnouts, improved mental health and healthier working relationships. The rise of Flexi and co-working spaces is largely due to the ongoing popularity of the hybrid working model.
El Ridge Office Park unpacks the pros of communal office spaces focusing on how they can be beneficial for businesses that have adopted the hybrid model.
Flexible work set-up
When working in a communal office, such as FlexiHub, tenants can customise their office set-up according to their company or team’s requirements. Whether it be to work closer as a team or ignite innovation in a hot-desking environment, incorporating flexible working hours or opting for a more private office within the communal environment. FlexiHub and co-working spaces offer flexibility in a way that works for your team. Flexible working spaces have proven to contribute to productivity, collaboration and company culture.
Reduced costs
Making use of communal office spaces can significantly reduce monthly costs, allowing businesses to pay for space as they need it, and rule out the need to invest in office furniture and gear such as Wi-Fi and generators. Commuting costs can be significantly reduced when the hybrid working model is adopted and employees are only required to partly work in a physical space. Subsequently, there is more budget for business expenses such as advertising spend.
Maintain workplace culture
The hybrid working model has proven to positively boost company culture. Employee satisfaction improves when they can be flexible with where and when they work as well as focus on their well-being. Co-working spaces offer companies a great opportunity to build and maintain work relationships as well as encourage collaboration, while still offering flexibility. These factors contribute to sustaining a positive company culture.
Increased business opportunities
The hybrid work model allows employees to network outside of the office. Meetings and even daily tasks can be performed at coffee shops which provide an excellent opportunity for employees to innovate and grow their network of connections. Co-working spaces further provide teams with the opportunity to make new connections, which could lead to working on projects together in the future. Knowledge is shared and exposure is boosted.
Communal office spaces and the hybrid work model allow businesses of all sizes to thrive and keep up to date with the requirements of the modern workforce.
FlexiHub at El Ridge Office Park provides businesses and freelancers with the opportunity to be flexible and collaborative while saving on expenses and increasing networking opportunities.
