Hybrid working is the cost effective option

Most of us with desk jobs are learning to organise ourselves in a hybrid fashion; dividing our working week between commuting to the office and/or working from home, or, renting a desk/office space. Recently, hundreds of businesses and facilities managers were asked to take part in a survey around hybrid working. The results showed a significant increase to cost savings, with 83% confirming a hybrid set-up and 73% definitely considering the shift.

It’s time for companies to take notice. Office spaces are currently decreasing their sizes and continuing to shrink, 46% of the survey say they are now using only half of their space, and 60% are using less space since the pandemic.

One of the biggest advantages to hybrid working is the amount a company saves from downsizing their space, it’s been calculated that companies end up saving as much as £10,000. For employees - it’s the cost of commuting, both financially and timewise; the average UK worker will save nearly an hour every time they get to work remotely, and a saving of £2,000+ a year on travel costs.

Quality of life is improved - extra time sleeping, eating breakfast, family time, longer showers, cheaper lunches as well as an improvement on the environment, reducing your commute means reducing your carbon footprint.

This is where space282 comes in. We provide the chance to fulfill hybrid working at cost-effective prices. Most of the reasons our users hire our spaces have been to take a break from the home office, or because working from home is a difficult balance for them, or the price of desk hire is less than train travel or fuel. They love using the space for productivity, networking, social engagement, our air con and good coffee.

We provide hot desking, permanent desk hire, private offices, meeting room hire, private phone booths, coffee lounge membership, and more. We also have a whole range of virtual office services via our sister site; Mail & Co
