Why flexible office perks matter, and the critical role they can play in attracting talent

scroll

Workforce surveys and polls now show that flexible working is now more important to the majority of employees than a pay rise. Millennial and Gen Z workers place particular emphasis on flexible working and actively reject positions that don’t offer flexibility. 

With the growing demand for flexible working, it’s time to consider the value of offering flexible coworking spaces when attracting talent and retaining it. Find out how coworking spaces can help your business to stand out and thrive by supporting an engaged, productive workforce.

The power of flexibility

Offering suitable flexible options is not just about aligning with your current employees’ priorities; it is also a signal to new and potential talent that your business values work-life balance, wellbeing and adaptability. Offering a flexible coworking option is a great way of meeting both current and new talent expectations in these areas, as they can be fully tailored to fit a range of working styles and patterns without a lot of logistical headaches. Whether you need a hotdesking space, a reserved workspace or a private office, Clockwise can offer the right space or mix of spaces for your needs. Our Club Lounges, Dedicated Desks, Private Offices, and Virtual Office options are all available on truly flexible membership plans, allowing stress-free scaling as required without the need for large capital outlay or being tied into lengthy contracts. Our buildings also offer 24/7 access to accommodate all working patterns.

Top amenities attract top talent 

The right amenities can create a working environment that feels welcoming, energising and geared towards creativity and productivity. Offering a coworking space that has been designed to not only be aesthetically pleasing but also to foster community engagement and wellbeing can form a key component of your flexible working policy. With secure high-speed WiFi, well-equipped breakout spaces, bike storage, and showers, our spaces have all been thoughtfully designed to make working here something to look forward to, knowing that everything you need will be right on hand. On-site cafes provide delicious and healthy food and drink to fuel working days and each location also offers a range of excellent meeting rooms with advanced AV equipment for presentations and video conferencing.

Enhancing workplace culture through coworking communities

Working alongside people from diverse backgrounds and sectors in a coworking space can also help to attract and retain talent, by providing opportunities for networking and collaboration that would not be possible in traditional offices or working from home. Clockwise members all have access to a networking portal and bespoke programme of community events in each location, designed to support professional development, creativity and collaboration. With locations across the UK and mainland Europe strategically chosen for their great transport links, Clockwise spaces not only help to build communities and networks within each workspace but also keep your business connected to other key locations too.
