Let’s start the interview!
🎙️ What are you most passionate about when working in the flexible workspace sector?
Seeing how in just a few years the sector has evolved and professionalized to the point of positioning Spain as a global benchmark.
Today we have spaces that compete with London or New York.
🎙️ How has the demand for office spaces changed in recent years, and how do you think it will evolve?
It has shifted from freelancers and SMEs to large corporations. COVID accelerated the change, and today flexibility is key to adapting the real estate footprint and costs to each moment.
🎙️ In your experience, what are the key requirements for companies when they are looking for a flex office?
Operational and financial flexibility, well-being, sustainability, a good location, and surrounding services. Attractive spaces that motivate people to return to the office.
🎙️ If you could give one piece of advice to a company considering moving to a flexible space, what would it be?
Try it. You can do it from just one month, with no risk. Start with a pilot team and see how their experience and productivity improve. Flexibility is the best test.
