The demand for flexible and coworking spaces has never been higher. As companies continue to redefine their workplaces, one provider is going the extra mile to ensure that its members are well-positioned to leverage their workspace to their advantage.
HR Magazine recently spoke with Nadia Zhu, Regional Managing Director – Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, The Executive Centre (TEC) to discuss how flexible workspaces are supporting the future of work. The Executive Centre has over 165 centres in 33 cities and has been providing premium flexible workspaces across the Asia Pacific and the Middle East for almost 30 years.
Flex is key
Zhu first joined TEC in Shanghai before rising through the ranks to helm the company’s headquarters in Hong Kong. Discussing the shift towards agile and innovative workspace solutions, Zhu commented on the role that the office space plays in cultivating organizational culture “First of all, flexibility has become key to the future of many organisational workplace strategies as they have needed to scale rapidly up or down. Furthermore, research has shown the important role that workplaces play in talent retention.
Having an attractive workspace will make employees excited about going back to the office, ideally at a location that is close to their home. Flexible spaces are not a new concept but have become more mainstream as part of the global shift toward agility and innovative space solutions. “In the of fice of the future, one that facilitates fully remote, hybrid, and onsite employees, technology will play a big part in office design whether it is to boost productivity, facilitate remote working, promote hygiene, or enhance audio-visual experiences to boost morale,” said Zhu. “All TEC Centres provide secure and reliable networks and our experienced IT experts can provide on-site tech support if needed. Privacy and data security are also important elements that businesses need to consider for their futureproof workspaces. As such, TEC provides customised IT solutions that fit specifically to members’ requirements.
