3 Advantages of ON DEMAND offices
A couple of days ago, through my social networks, I conducted a small survey in order to know the opinion of people in relation to how they would like the return to the office to be once we are all vaccinated. The survey had a reach of more than 100 participations from different profiles such as professionals, entrepreneurs, freelancers, businessmen, among the main ones. From my point of view, the results were not surprising:
Eighty percent of people voted for the "hybrid work" option, 16% for the "full-time office" option and the remaining 4% for the "remote work" option.
The future of work will be "offices on demand" where employees can reserve a desk, according to Amazon's Andy Jassy.
In this context, I would like to share with you 3 advantages offered by on-demand offices for the design of back-to-office strategies - flexible work.
ON DEMAND offices will be an ally for the flexible work and financial strategies of organizations:
Delivering and generating value is not committed to a specific physical space. People can be productive working from different locations, as long as they have access to work tools and the right technology. In this sense, ON DEMAND offices will be a great ally of flexible work strategies of organizations, as they will add a lot of value to employees and to the same organizations individually and collaboratively (for its location and proximity, creativity, stress reduction, teamwork promotion, access to different perspectives, problem solving, etc.) and at the same time, generate great savings and administrative and operational efficiencies by allowing them to book these workspaces per hour or day. under flexible.
ON DEMAND offices promote diversity and inclusion:
Organizations that promote flexible work promote diversity and inclusion of talent and increase the level of engagement, performance, productivity and empowerment of their employees. This is because flexible work allows each employee to "decide" how to organize their workday according to their needs and time of life, as well as to choose the best location and space to concentrate and perform their work. Flexible work also allows organizations to have access to a greater pool of diverse talent from anywhere in the world. ON DEMAND offices help organizations to fulfill their strategies.
ON DEMAND offices strengthen community building and organizational culture:
If offices want to remain relevant, they need to build stronger organizational culture, community and provide spaces where employees can feel inspired to work and collaborate. We employees want to put on our shirts and know where we are going. Companies need to support the individual and strengthen teamwork, not every day we will go to the office, but when it is our turn to go we want to feel very comfortable and inspired.
Flexible and remote work is here to stay and is solving large-scale problems in our cities while reducing the number of COVID-19 infections (economic savings at home and in the company, lower CO2 emissions, less stress driving, more time with the family, etc.).
Let us continue to support and ensure the well-being of our employees who are working from home, prioritizing their physical and mental health, facilitating access to work tools and appropriate technology, allowing them to continue with their good performance, professional development and value generation.
Undoubtedly, flexible and remote work is here to stay as I have shared previously. The office is the heart of the company, let's continue to design, build and operate the necessary conditions for the prosperous future of organizations.
At Wor Business Center we focus on designing spaces tailored to the needs of people and companies, understanding how life and offices are transforming.
