Employees seeking flexibility, and now experience

‍

Over the past few years, face-to-face working has been called into question, and is now regainingits credentials. In need of team cohesion, employees are now looking for flexibility, collaborative spaces and experiences. According to a study conducted by Owl Labs in 2024, 62% of employees prefer face-to-face collaboration, compared with just 17% who prefer working from home. A trend that Worklib is directly observing: the share of reservations for collaborative spaces rose by 44% in 2024.

"The challenge is no longer simply to make space available, but to create truly productive, collaborative and inspiring experiences. In addition to, or in place of, the traditional office, there is an emerging need for on-demand workspaces, to strengthen the collective and attract talent. The future of work is an on-demand experience that fosters interaction and performance at the lowest possible cost", says Charles Vestur, CEO of Worklib.

‍

Since 2021, Worklib has positioned itself as a partner of choice to enable companies to build on-demand, bespoke work environments, from individual workstations to team days, redefining the boundaries of the traditional office. This latest strategic acquisition of OfficeRiders will enable Worklib to respond ever more effectively to the challenges of the future of work.
