How You Work: People, Places & Flexible Workspaces
04 Growth
It has long been necessary for multinationals to have a
physical presence in the regional markets they operate in.
Flexible Offices have proved effective entry-level solutions,
particularly through global office networks that operate
universal standards of service. Tenants have the option
to expand or relocate quickly, with little upfront capital
or commitment. In explaining the company’s growth
internationally, Wolgang Gollub, Senior Manager of Toshiba
Europe comments that using Regus is “simple, cost effective
and does not require a long term commitment that either
hinders growth or wastes money on unnecessary space.
Flexible Offices make setting up in a new country low risk
and hassle free.” A ‘passport’ system across a given network
enables employees to connect and work from different
local, national or international locations as determined by
their task. Regus’ Businessworld and WeWork’s Commons
membership provide customers with access to a global
network of offices. The Flexible Office market is proving best
placed to manage globalisation, mobility, fast-paced growth
and risk, and operators compete to provide the most
effective network and service.

“Flexible working is central to
BT’s competitiveness. Not only
does it help us continuously
improve our cost base and
productivity but it brings
important human benefits,
such as a better work life
balance and underpins the
resilience of our business in
turbulent times.”
