Introducing the Firmspace Day Office: A Spa Day for Professionals
The great work-from-home experiment has clarified every professional’s understanding of how they work best. Some love working from home, some are itching to get back to the office, and some want a blend of both.
The good news is that in 2021, we might not have to choose between 40 hours in the office and 100 percent remote. More and more companies will opt for something in the middle, where professionals who need a dedicated workspace can have access to one whenever they need it – or want it.
That’s why we’ve introduced the day office at Firmspace, which includes everything you get in a regular Firmspace office. Think of it as a spa day for busy professionals: a sleek, quiet, secure office – a proworking space. A day pass can be an excellent gift, test run, respite, or interview venue.
Not sold? Consider these four ways you can use a day office pass at Firmspace.
1: The Reward for Hardworking Team Members
Back in 2019, if you suggested that going into the office might be some kind of reward, people would have looked at you funny. But with so many professionals now missing office life in 2020, it might actually be the perfect gift.
It’s always important to recognize your team members for their hard work, but it’s hard to do so when you can’t see them in person. As the holiday season approaches, consider gifting hardworking employees with a day in a beautiful office space.
They might be a top-earning sales pro, a driven new attorney, or a real estate agent who just finalized a major closing. Show them that you’re invested in their success by giving them the proworking space to match.
2: The Hybrid Work Model Pilot
According to BCG, hybrid work is the future. A hybrid working model mixes the flexibility of remote work with the privacy, security, and collaboration of office environments that business leaders rely on.
With the recent announcement of an effective vaccine candidate and the prospect of a safe return to work in 2021, many business leaders are debating whether to make the full return, stay at home, or find some combination of both.
If you’re interested in a hybrid work model but not ready to commit to a lease, renting a day office provides a great opportunity for a test run for your management team. Firmspace conference rooms are equipped with a high-tech meeting management system so that you and your team can hold remote calls.
3: The Respite from a Challenging Work-From-Home Environment
It’s hard to do deep work when you’ve got a screaming toddler at your feet or you have to listen to your neighbor’s leaf blower.
Across generations, many professionals have a difficult time working from home: 43 percent of Gen Zers say their productivity has decreased and 62 percent of Millennials reported higher stress levels. While on the whole Gen Xers and Baby Boomers have adapted a little better, many find it hard to communicate with colleagues and miss face-to-face conversation.
No matter the reason, whether it’s faulty WiFI, a lack of childcare, or a cramped home office setup, not everyone wants to – or can – WFH forever. If you have team members you know are having a tough time at home, you can give them access to a day office to host a client, make an important call, go heads-down on a project, or just enjoy some peace and quiet.
4: The Dream Remote Interview Venue
The idea of a job interview over Zoom is daunting. But if you’re in a silent, secure, bright office suite with lightning-fast internet, you’ve got a lot less to worry about – and a background that’s designed to impress.
If you’re in the middle of a job search and concerned about the interview process from home, a day office might ease some of those concerns. Heading into an office for the day will feel more like an interview in pre-pandemic times and make it easy to put your best foot forward.
Or, if your company is currently hiring, you could rent a day office to host remote interviews. Dialing in from a sleek professional space sends a strong signal to candidates about your company culture, and a strong tech infrastructure will support you throughout a day full of interviews.
