Your Guide to Flex Space


 

The benefits of using a flexible office are endless. From joining a cluster of like-minded businesses, to being able to create your own space, to being able to move in and out without paying hefty fees – the flexible space industry is booming.


“The future of the workplace is flexible.” — A flexible workplace offers options and helps to keep employees motivated and productive. The most successful companies are the ones that can adapt to change quickly and flexibly, as we’ve seen from the pandemic. The demand for flexible office space is increasing, especially in the ways we use it. Flexible offices can be the answer to the ever-growing need for spaces that are more open and agile. Here is your guide to understanding flex space in today’s market.


What is flexible office space?


The term “flexible office space” is used to describe commercial offices that are characterised by a higher amount of “open space” than your typical office. Some people also refer to this as “hot-desking” or “desk sharing,” and the concept behind it is that employees aren’t assigned a single desk for their entire tenure at the company.

It can be particularly effective for businesses with employees who need to keep attending regular meetings, conduct regular research or maintain regular contact with clients or suppliers on a daily basis.

The aim of flexible working is to improve employee productivity and job satisfaction while increasing company productivity and profitability.

 

Perks of flex space


The facilities inside flexible space can vary from provider to provider. However, we’ve highlighted some of the most popular options that we’ve seen.


  • Breakout space.
  • Shower rooms.
  • Meeting rooms.
  • Gyms.
  • Kitchens.
  • Event space.
  • Bars.
  • Bikes storage.

 

Flex space options for you


Co-working - A coworking office space takes the idea of community to a whole new level. Office space with a community environment is ideal for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are looking to share ideas, collaborate, and have a bit of fun in the process. Coworking spaces are a great alternative to your home office.


Hot desking - Hotdesking is the process of allowing employees to use any available workstation on an as-needed basis. Hotdesking is a thought process. It involves identifying which areas of an office are most used and which are least used. This information can be used to determine the location of an employee’s workstation.


Serviced office - If you’re looking for a flexible, professional space that can help bring your big ideas to life, look no further than serviced offices.
