Teleworking and face-to-face: coworking is the right compromise for a hybrid organization

March 21, 2024

For two years, teleworking has been the watchword for most businesses. While The return to face-to-face has been organized gradually in recent months, some structures have decided to maintain this organization, at least partially.

Employers and employees have been able to realize the advantages of the home office but they are not all ready to take the plunge full time. Faced with this observation, a solution is emerging: a hybrid organization, who Mix face-to-face and remote.

Hybrid organization: what is it?

There are companies that swear by teleworking, others who defend fervently traditional face-to-face work. But not all opinions are equally strong. In the midst of both, some companies now want to enjoy the best of both worlds. Of course, teleworking has multiple positive aspects, but it also has its limits. The new trend is today at a more flexible and flexible organization, who shares the weeks of the employees between home office and office presence.

 

A way of working that meets the needs of employees

 

Teleworking is very much appreciated by employees who save precious time on trips. No need to spend an hour in traffic in the morning, with the stress of arriving late. This organization thus provides them with more serenity and allows them to better manage their schedule. Less time in transport also means more time for leisure and for the family, and in the end, better harmony between private and professional life.

 

However, remote work can also generate isolation and some employees have trouble being alone behind their computers all day. Without completely abandoning remote working, they are enthusiastic about the idea of being able to find their colleagues a few days a week. When employees are present in the office, it is an opportunity to strengthen relationships between them, to work as a team and to maintain this synergy and this collective spirit, which is so important for their well-being and for the productivity of the company.

 

 

A more economical formula for businesses

 

Si hybrid work seems very attractive for employees, it is also very attractive for employers. With this format, they can in fact considerably reduce the budget dedicated to office rental. One of the first items of expenditure for businesses! This requires a well-established organization but ultimately allows significant savings to be made. Since employees are not all present at the same time in the premises, the size of the premises can therefore be greatly reduced. On the other hand, it is necessary to think about setting up an effective and rigorous rotation, to ensure that everyone has a workstation available when they are in person.

Since work organization is completely changing, it is only logical that offices should also follow suit. Today's spaces need to be more flexible, to adapt to new habits of employees and businesses. Traditional commercial premises, rented with a 3-6-9 lease, thus seem completely outdated. They are gradually disappearing from the corporate real estate landscape, to give way to more modern, more attractive and more user-friendly places.

 

Coworking to replace traditional offices

 

Coworking spaces have grown considerably in recent years and allow businesses to take advantage of shared rooms (meeting room, relaxation area, reception, etc.) while having their own closed offices. These new 2.0 offices are fully equipped: all you have to do is put your computer down and get to work.

 

Companies that decided to adopt a hybrid organization can thus opt for coworking, in various ways. They have the possibility to rent an independent office in a coworking building. In this case, they adapt the number of positions required according to the employees who will be present at the same time on the premises. With this formula, all employees are in one place and this office becomes the company's new headquarters.

 

It is also possible to rent open-space workstations in various coworking spaces in the country. This solution is interesting for recruiting talent throughout the country, without being limited to a specific city. The company, in this case, does not have fixed offices. Employees alternate between teleworking and coworking in a space close to home.

 

The contract for the provision of services to say goodbye to the classic lease

 

Who says new way of working also says new type of lease. These coworking spaces are no longer subject to a traditional lease but to a new contract, which is booming: The contract for the provision of services. Practical and economical, it is an all inclusive formula. All services (maintenance, internet, electricity, etc.) are centralized in a single package and the company pays according to the number of positions. Management is much simpler and the savings are also there. Not to mention that this contract requires a much smaller commitment: from 6 to 36 months.

Between face-to-face and remote, it is up to each company to find the right rhythm and define its own action plan.
