Flexible workspace has become an increasingly popular way of working - and The Instant Group's latest review show just how much it's growing.
What is the dominating trend?
The biggest trend in flexible workspace is co-working and adoption of hybrid space. This style of working has continued to grow considerably this year, doubling since 2013, and now makes up a third of all flexible space across the world.
It’s become an approach to working considered forward thinking, and even larger corporate companies are starting to move to this style of working.
Co-working occupation continues to expand at a considerable pace.
Why is it changing?
Richard Taylor, of The Office Group, believes “the winners of the battle to attract and retain members will be the ones who offer something meaningfully different. Outside of the fundamentals - flexible contracts and great tasting coffee - companies are drawn to shared workspaces to attract key talent or to grow their business. A large, open space, some vintage desks and decent wi-fi just aren’t going to cut it anymore.”
People are now seeking more than just a workspace – but somewhere to network, enhance their skills and genuinely enjoy being there.
