A survey from Regus’ parent company IWG finds flexible working helps cut costs and boost employee productivity

From HR directors to entrepreneurs to PAs, flexible office spaces are helping all kinds of businesspeople work better.

In IWG’s , well over two thirds of respondents (79%) said that flexible workspace has played a role in their company’s success.

Additionally, with Regus workspaces available in over 1,000 towns and cities around the world, professionals can cut down their commuting times and costs, as well as strike a better balance between their home and professional life.

“Having a subscription for our office spaces also allows us to keep debt off our books. We don’t have a 30-year loan on a traditional office.”

Other benefits include being able to open a new branch anywhere. “Austin is a more affordable place than San Francisco, so being able to easily open an office there through Regus is huge,” says Grande. “And if our current office stops meeting our needs, we can move to a different one.”
