Have you ever wondered how a flexible workspace can improve your productivity and well-being? Flexible workspaces are revolutionizing the way we work, offering multiple benefits for freelancers and companies alike.
With a more relaxed work environment you can benefit from the flexibility and dynamism it provides while meeting all your professional needs. The growing popularity of flexible workspaces, such as coworking, has been felt around the world. Here’s why!
What are Flexible Workspaces
Flexible workspaces are environments designed to adapt to the diverse needs of modern workers. These spaces allow professionals to choose when, where and how they work, providing greater freedom and autonomy. They are characterized by their ability to adjust to different work styles and team sizes, offering everything from individual desks to private offices and coworking areas.
What are we talking about when we say flexibility? We’re talking about contract length, membership, freedom of choice of desks, robust collaborative environments and, of course, total cost-effectiveness.
If your relationship with the rigidity of schedules, colleagues and furniture is like that of oil to water, you are a flex person. We welcome you. Read on and find out which solution is right for you.
Evolution of Work and the Need for Flexibility
Digital transformation and globalization have changed the way companies operate and how employees prefer to work, telecommuting has become more common allowing workers to benefit from flexible schedules, improving their well-being and maintaining productivity.
Taking advantage of adaptability, professionals use these spaces configurable to their needs or activities, which by their nature have more collaborative and creative environments than traditional offices.
Types of Flexible Workspaces
Coworking: Sharing More Than Space
La idea del coworking es ofrecer un enfoque moderno de un espacio de trabajo, beneficiándose al mismo tiempo de compartir la oficina con personas procedentes de distintos entornos que, al fin y al cabo, están ahà para fomentar el networking y la colaboración. Las ventajas del coworking son numerosas, incluyendo un ambiente dinámico que estimula la creatividad y el intercambio de ideas. Este concepto ofrece una alternativa más atractiva al entorno de oficina tradicional, que puede resultar desmotivador para algunos. El coworking, por su parte, se centra en el equilibrio entre vida laboral y personal. Ya era hora.
El trabajo flexible es el presente y el futuro. Aumenta la motivación general, la productividad y el rendimiento. Y la comunidad que se crea alrededor, da alegrÃa de vivir. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?
Flexible Offices and Hot-Desking
Flexible offices and hot desking can improve the work environment and make it more efficient for the well-being of employees. With the traditional workspace model, once an employee is out of the office, his or her workstation is unusable until he or she returns. However, with hot desking, companies can optimize space by sharing desks based on current availability. This rotation helps to socialize with different people on a daily basis, so be prepared to meet a lot of inspiring people.
Benefits of Flexible Spaces
For Individuals: Flexibility and Cost Reduction
Flexible workspace is designed to accommodate the needs of even the pickiest professional. It stands for a huge flexibility and, therefore, offers a variety of lease memberships or a great choice of different work areas, including rooftops, if you are lucky.
Additionally, by sharing a workspace with others you rather save money on things that you would normally have to spend them on, such as IT equipment, regular office supplies or printers. Coworking flexible spaces take care of it all, so you don’t have to worry about any extra costs outside of your membership.
For Enterprises: Scalability and Community
Becoming part of coworking can be beneficial for businesses of all sizes, from startups to bigger and more established enterprises. It does offer a unique mix of scalability and a sense of community. The power of flexibility in such an environment that fosters networking, collaboration and innovation provides businesses with the resources, as well as connections that allow you to grow. Sharing a place with a diverse mix of people can lead to potential partnerships or alliances, which is something that you would hardly find in the traditional office.
What the Perfect Flexible Space Looks Like
Key Elements of a Flexible Space
As we have already suggested, the perfect flexible workspace is a mix of flexibility, functionality, adaptability and, of course, comfort. Therefore, a shared space as such benefits from flexible workstations, dedicated fixed desks, private offices, bookable meeting rooms, quiet areas or lounges. An aesthetically pleasing design is also a plus, which only increases your motivation and boosts your creative ideas.
Last but not least, for further networking outside office hours, don’t forget a good selection of regular community activities.
Technology and Equipment Needed
The right equipment is key for forming a highly productive and enjoyable work environment.
Therefore, a high-speed internet throughout the building is non-negotiable element, as well as a rich choice of power outlets or USB charging stations, so your personal or business calls never get interrupted. Additionally, speakers or presentation equipment, such as projectors and big screens should also be found at the coworking space of your choice.
