Slowly but surely, it appears that the country is entering the post-pandemic work phase despite cases still growing in a number of places.
Now, businesses are ready to take action after months of planning for the future of work. One company that could serve as a perfect solution to this transition is none other than WeWork.
Although the coworking company has spent the past few years with a less-than-impressive track record, the firm’s core business of offering flexible office space could open a world of opportunity.
Many large companies’ long-term plans include adopting a hybrid work arrangement, which would allow workers to work from home and in the office when needed. That is where companies like WeWork could come in handy as organizations can sign up for short-term, flexible memberships for fully-equipped workspaces rather than committing to multi-year leases.
While remote working has its own benefits, workers who do not have the ideal home arrangements, such as lack of space or connectivity, could find it difficult to concentrate and find a proper work-life balance. Coworking companies solve these issues by providing workers access to amenitized offices, even for those that are a part of a remote workforce.
Despite the opportunity that is being laid out for WeWork, its financial woes over the past couple of years may cause it to not fully realize this vision. However, the flexible office industry as a whole has a bright future ahead.
