Research by Workthere, the flexible office division of Savills, has found that while technology is ranked as a crucial factor for flexible office workers, only 62% are satisfied with the current technology in their flexible office space.
Findings from Workthere’s ‘What Coworkers Want’ report shows that 80% of flexible workers think WiFi is the most important aspect, but only 61% are satisfied with their current WiFi provision.
In comparison, the mobile signal in a flexible office was ranked by 77% of respondents as important, with a satisfaction level of 64%.
Cal Lee, global head of Workthere, noted: “In line with the developments in technology, many businesses have now come to rely on emails and the internet to communicate and perform daily operations,” adding that flexible workspace providers “need to ensure they are delivering a strong digital infrastructure in order to retain and attract new members”, with WiFi and digital connectivity particularly important.
