Everything You Need to Know About Flex Offices
The world of work has certainly changed. Out with the old and in with the new – and that includes flex offices.
You’ve probably heard the term “flex space” or “flex office” thrown around when it comes to the world of work. But what does it really mean and why do you need to know anything about it?

a type of workspace that offers flexible terms with a multitude of features and workspaces for employees to work in
The definition alone sounds pretty good, right? Having a choice matters, doesn’t it? Wouldn’t it be great to get to choose where you work on a daily or hourly basis? To choose the schedule that works best for you and have a lease agreement that is for only as long as you need it? Flex offices matter because they give you options and freedom to work the way you want to.
Flexible work environments allow you to work in different spots all around the office. If you want to work around other people, you can choose a larger office to house your entire team. Let’s say you go down that route but find yourself needing more privacy for certain situations. No problem! You can reserve a conference room, work in a private phone booth or call room, and even set up in a soft seating area away from your team.
Perhaps you’ve chosen an alternate route and chose private offices for your whole team, but find yourself needing to collaborate often. You have the ability to gather in a common area or, again, reserve a private meeting room as needed.
Flex spaces offer long-term and short-term solutions for many businesses. Let’s say your company is moving into a new office that will take 6 months to build, but the lease on your previous office has ended. You need somewhere to work and your employees need workspaces. Flex offices are a great option because of their flexible leases. You can sign an agreement for as much or as little time as you need to transition into your upcoming office.
Budget-friendly is a word everyone likes to hear. Flex spaces tend to reduce overhead costs because of their all-inclusive amenities. Your team members won’t have to waste time and money by ordering coffee, supplies for the printers, or purchase office furniture. It is all included in your membership, so it’s less of a hassle for you and creates more room in your budget.
