The relationship between business transformation and flexible workspace

Flexibility, productivity and profitability are some of the main benefits of flexible workspace, which are increasingly being adopted by companies in times of economic uncertainty such as these.

A recent report by Cushman & Wakefield highlights how, despite the slowdown in the office market compared to last year, there has been a 9% increase in the option to lease space in the first half of 2022. It is a sign of how the world of work continues its trend towards the mobility of workspaces in favor of more flexible, more profitable and customized rental options for companies.

In other words, spaces that are customized and equipped to meet the needs of each company. As a benchmark in the Barcelona area, Gran Via Business & Meeting Center explains the basics of the flexible workspaces model and how these workspaces can add great value to the image and growth of the business.

What are the benefits of customized workspaces?

Quick set-up

When starting a business, there are some barriers that companies and entrepreneurs may encounter. One of them is finding a place to set up immediately.

When a company sets up in a new workplace, it has to deal with many details, including renovations to make the premises suitable or legal formalities such as applying for an opening license, which takes up large amounts of time.

However, in a customized space like Gran Via BC you can save all that process to start working from the first day, avoiding having to wait to settle in and start working.

Profitability

By not having to devote effort to fit out the space with furniture and carry out administrative procedures, the initial investment level will be very low. In the same line, customized workspaces also represent an important saving in water, electricity, telephone and internet supplies; in addition to the expenses generated by external services such as cleaning and computer maintenance.

Good location

In many occasions the location of the office is part of the brand. A good location is synonymous with prestige and consolidation in the market.

Gran Via BC’s facilities are not only located in a strategic and renowned place in Barcelona, but also have easy access and connection to local transportation.

Networking opportunities

More and more companies are choosing to manage their activities in customized spaces. This type of environment makes it possible to work in community with people engaged in multiple activities; this favors the emergence of synergies that can be beneficial for all.

For example, new working methods or technologies that were previously unknown can be assimilated and can bring greater efficiency to the business. Likewise, projects and alliances can be created with other companies to achieve new objectives and greater benefits.

Importance of having different workspaces

Personalized workspaces always adapt to what is needed, whether it is a private office, a boardroom or a shared space. It is this flexibility that allows you to grow at your own pace.

The variety of areas that coworking spaces have promote a relaxed environment, facilitate concentration, increase efficiency and promote creativity.

In a customized space you will find:

• Flexible, private and customized offices in accordance with the company’s identity and culture.
• Shared workspaces.
• Flexible desks for personalized use by each employee.
• Meeting rooms.
• Common areas such as cafeterias, rest areas and terraces.
