Living with COVID is the new normal for all of us. These times have been hard on all of us in one way or the other. Especially we ladies who have so much to handle- our kids or sibling education is suffering. Our husbands, brothers, or fathers’ jobs are impacted, or our own employment/business is facing losses apart from hearing the bad news about so many people losing the battle with life each day.

Don’t we all think that we should wave a magic wand to make all our problems disappear, well we don’t have one but if we try to see things from a different perspective a lot of positives could be seen popping among these negativities.
We no longer have to rush to offices, struggle in the kitchen to prepare breakfast & lunch all at once, global connectivity has been established in a professional manner making the world come closer and giving us easy access to everything. And the best part is that we can do our office meetings while relaxing in our pajamas and nobody guesses a thing.

So, when we are getting so many flexibilities in life why not a flexible workspace commonly called FLEX SPACE or FLEXISPACE. The big business giants especially IT companies can offer work from home but the situation is not the same for small business owners, also few trades work from home becomes likely impossible. Here, Flexible office spaces come to your rescue which unlike old office models offers you an office space near your place according to your ease one day it could be an office space, the next day a meeting hall, another day a conference staging. A report shared by live mint on 12th May 2021 states that flex spaces are growing 10-15% a year and the flex space stock in the country is around 36 million sq. ft. So, let’s explore the reason for their increasing popularity-
These are office spaces with shared resources which are cheaper as they offer flexible working hours, modules & work environment, also, they can be used to build networking and interactions. It offers an enhanced employee experience as they are free of their mental barriers. As these are the open-ended concept you can have flexible lease terms, reduced occupancy cost rather few companies are offering per square foot occupancy rates isn’t that great.
Let’s embrace the new normal along with exploring these new options to give a boost to our businesses and move a step ahead towards getting back to the pace we have lost due to COVID.
