Google and WeWork have one major thing in common: both companies understand the benefits of flexible workspaces that appeal to all.
The future of the workplace involves implementing technology such as virtual reality, adding agile furniture to suit the needs of workers, and other solutions to make offices as efficient as possible.
Research shows that a third of the U.S. population will need to find new jobs by 2050 as automation becomes more relevant in the workforce, and WeWork is responding to this trend.
“We think a lot about the impending and ever-increasing need for people to find new career paths, and how do you facilitate that, how do you get people the education they need, how do you get the space right…[we need] all these things to make that work,” said Lindsay Baker, WeWork’s head of sustainability and well-being.
