2022 Flex Office Changing Workplace

Changing Role of Office How do you expect the role of the office to evolve?

The Purpose of the Office • Many flexible office business models were built around community, not just providing space. This physical community has been difficult to maintain during the pandemic, and it has forced some operators to consider alternatives and to build their communities through digital channels. • The pandemic has increased reliance on technology for communication, and some changes—such as the move from voice to video conferences—are likely to be permanent. Flexible office providers will need to consider this in the design of workspaces, offices and meeting rooms. • As in the traditional office, an increasing focus on worker wellbeing will influence flexible office space location, design and services.
