Workspace On-Demand: Your answer to a hybrid workplace

An office for the day… or not.

Arlington Heights coworkers, in their natural habitat.

2020 marks the rise of remote work amidst the COVID-19 adaptations. This has quickly become a cultural norm around the globe complete with high-speed internet, zoom calls, and team collaboration platforms. But where did everyone go after they were told there will be no more daily commute to the office? Those wanting a smooth transition will have discovered a local coworking space; the ultimate workspace on demand.

What exactly is workspace on demand? Think of it as ready-to-go office space, aka flexible workspace or “flexspace.” A workspace that’s available when you need it. For many professionals it has all the advantages of working from an office, but on your own time and with more perks.

According to Forbes, 74% of professionals expect remote work to become standard and 97% of employees prefer some degree of flexibility between working remotely and working in an office. Flexspace offers the ability to work from home or at an office a few days a week, paying as you go. It’s the perfect solution for working parents, entrepreneurs, small business owners, and corporations.

Designated quiet space.

One of the more obvious distinctions between your traditional office and a coworking office are the perks. With a coworking space, you can expect all the first class office amenities like high-speed internet, private phone booths, virtual mail services, and complimentary local coffee. Additionally, memberships include networking events, access to casual lounges and meeting spaces, private wellness rooms, HR/employee health benefits, kitchenettes, and fitness studios.

Coworking spaces allow you to find the equilibrium between personal life and career work — focusing on wellness while you work. With 24/7 access, you can leave whenever you fancy to catch lunch with a friend, hit the gym, or run errands. All the while, building a community with people you connect with and opportunities you create.

Making hospitality our number one priority.

One of the more underrated perks are that the amenities are people-powered by the Community Managers of the space, aka the human touch that will make your day. These tireless hospitality professionals provide second-to-none service for a seamless workday. This could be in the form of meeting room concierge, freshly brewed coffee, or as simple as an early morning “hello.” Regardless, when someone enters the space, they know right away that they can count on full time, on-site Community Managers to make their workday better.

The perfect meeting room for your team’s next collaboration session.

But coworking doesn’t have to end with flexible space to work. With workspace on demand, you have access to fancy meeting rooms, conference rooms, and event space, too. According to Forbes, Work from home mandates around the world have resulted in 45% of employees reporting attending more meetings during the pandemic than when they were in the office. This has caused a surge in demand for Meeting Room space. Luckily, meeting spaces are readily available to book by the hour, so all you have left to do is collaborate, and seize the day.
