HONG KONG, June 22, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - While the pandemic
has led many to believe remote work will become the norm, concerns
about lagging creativity and loneliness demonstrate that there is
still a role for the office in a post Covid-19 world, according to
The Executive Centre (TEC). While there are advantages to working
from home, such as reduced commuting times, costs and pollution,
there are also disadvantages for businesses and employees. In a
video produced in association with Business Reporter, Paul
Salnikow, founder and CEO of TEC, discusses what the future of work
could look like.
"Being one of Asia's largest premium flexible workspace operators
give us a good insight into how companies have been adapting," he
says. "Once our centres reopened, we found our members were looking
forward to coming back as they missed the social interaction their
office provided." Other disadvantages to remote working include a
disruption to creative thinking and the additional logistical steps
required to ensure business can continue as usual.
The situation has also made it difficult for companies to
accurately predict headcount. "What we're seeing now is a
re-evaluation by organisations of their office strategy," Salnikow
says. "The current market uncertainty is creating huge demand for
the flexible workspace sector as companies try to manage costs and
become less willing to commit to long-term leases." Vast resources
are wasted paying leases for real estate businesses simply don't
need. Flexible working spaces are a vital way of ensuring that no
longer happens.
"Every healthy business needs to consider what mix of traditional
and flexible is right for its teams and their work," says Senior
Development Director of TEC, Todd Liipfert. "Sales teams who need
to work both remotely and in different places will benefit from
flexible access to broad networks. Creative teams that use the
office as a place to spark ideas need more permanent and fixed
spaces."
The workspace of the future must be agile and versatile to adapt to
unprecedented and unpredictable challenges that are becoming more
common in our society. Wherever and however, businesses choose to
move forward post Covid-19, there will be a workspace trend where
professionals place higher value on their flexibility.
