With social distancing rules now in the equation, the days when office buildings were brimming with people are over. Businesses have put in place hybrid work setups—some employees are working from home or elsewhere.
The ever-changing times we live in brings the need for more resilient work setups, and this is something that flexible workspaces can offer.
“With the concept of ‘blended’ work arrangement expected to be more prevalent, companies should definitely consider flexible workspace options,” said Tetet Castro, director and head of tenant advisory group at Cushman & Wakefield Philippines.
In its Flexible Workspace Report 2021: Flex in the Time of COVID-19, Cushman & Wakefield Philippines underscored the important role of flexible developments.
The future of the workplace has become a hybrid of sorts. There are employees working in their respective office corners and there are those working from home.
PRODUCTIVITY
“Despite the presence of the hybrid workspaces, workplace productivity remains an utmost priority. Since affording a dedicated home office remains a challenge, the availability of flexible workspace developments provides a viable alternative,” Cushman & Wakefield said.
“As the situation gets better, people are likely to crave for more conducive work environments, and flexible workspaces are a wise choice during times like this,” it added.
RESILIENT SOLUTIONS
Flexible workspace operators are optimistic that this type of workspace will be a good alternative to traditional offices as the economy further reopens, precisely for the flexibility that they offer.
