Gugu Mfuphi talaking about a more flexible company culture sounds tempting, but some business owners fear it’s too good to be true. Here Regus, one of the original pioneers in flexible workspace, address some of their concerns:

• Finding tangible ways to introduce a flexible working culture into your business is a step in the right direction towards a better work-life balance for you and your team. In essence, flexible working is about taking a more intuitive approach to our working lives. It encompasses remote working, the option of flexible hours or part-time roles, and/or renting flexible office space (flex space) – which offers a more bespoke way of leasing workspace, compared to the “one-size-fits-all” conventional office space.

• Flexible working is already growing in momentum. IWG found 50% of global employees now work outside of their main offices for at least 2.5 days per week. according to the 2019 Global Workspace Survey from IWG, 62% of business around the world are introducing flexible working policies into their operations.
