There are a number of reasons why our working landscapes have evolved over the past few years. For many employees, dividing their time between a central office, their home and a workspace that is close to home is now a way of life.
Increased productivity, a more cost-effective and sustainable real estate strategy and a generally happier workforce . . . what’s not to love about this new hybrid way of working?
International Workspace Group IWG (who are global specialists in serviced office space solutions) recently opened a Regus centre in Ballito, and this is the perfect example of how North Coasters are enjoying workspaces that match their needs.
“The population boom in Ballito (reflected in the opening and growth of various residential estates in and around the area, together with the opening of multiple retail malls) has meant that Ballito’s local business sector has grown significantly and now caters to a growing business community on the broader North Coast.” says Regus Ballito community sales manager, Iftiyhaar Fareed.
People want the benefit of living and working how and where they want and, with digitalisation and new technologies transforming the world of work, this is now a tangible reality.
“Regus customers are start-ups, small- and medium-sized enterprises and large multinationals with aggressive business goals, dynamic people and aspirations of competing locally, nationally and internationally.”
The centre offers offices for lease daily, weekly or yearly, as well as shared co-working areas for business travellers, freelancers, start-ups and corporates. It also has utilities, fast internet, a mailing handling service, meeting rooms for hire and a receptionist. There are generators for when the power goes out.
“Empowering people to work close to where they live paves the way for the development of the ‘15-minute-city’, where all local amenities such as shops, schools, restaurants and workspaces can be reached within 15 minutes on foot or via another non-polluting form of transport, hugely benefiting the environment.”
Apart from this, work/life balance will improve, which in turn makes people more productive and healthier.
