What is a flexible office space?

Radious spaces provide a variety of areas for your team to work in

Due to growing demand from employees, hybrid work is here to stay.

But does that mean you should continue paying for a full-time office when your employees are only there 25-40% of the time?

Absolutely not. And that’s where a flexible office lease comes in.

What is a flexible office?

A flexible office gives you flexibility in two main areas: usage and cost.

Another term for this model is “fractional office lease” - which is exactly what it sounds like. You pay a fraction of the lease and you get the space for a fraction of the time. This allows businesses to stay agile and scale up or down depending on their needs.

Is a flexible office the same as a short-term office lease?

The term “lease” no longer means long-term. And this is good news for you!

Whether you want to secure a space for the day, a week, or every Wednesday for the next 52 weeks, there are modern office solutions that can meet your needs.

Here are some considerations you should think about when adapting to a hybrid work model and utilizing a flexible office space as a tool for your team to meet and be productive.

Considerations when launching a flexible office model

Commute - Did you know that the number one barrier to going back to the traditional office is the commute? Employees realized during the pandemic that they were wasting hours of the day sitting in traffic, and they don’t want to go back to this daily unnecessary evil.

So when you’re looking at flex office spaces or satellite offices, consider where your employees live and how far they’re willing to commute.

Luckily, Radious spaces are distributed all around town so you can find a location that works great for everyone on your team.

Privacy - The traditional office or company headquarters gave leaders complete control over company privacy. But as executives research solutions to replace the traditional office, privacy becomes a concern. Consider, as an example, if your team has a private office in a coworking building but the team is large so they frequently use the shared coworking tables. Who might overhear conversations or purposefully take a glance at your team’s computer screens?

That’s why the majority of Radious spaces are completely private, and you can use our filters to find the space with the perfect level of privacy for your group.

Value - As your team switches from a traditional five-day-a-week office model to something more flexible and agile, consider the total value of the space. Your old office probably came with standard amenities like a kitchen, a casual hang-out area, and breakout spaces (and if you were lucky, access to the outdoors for brain breaks!).

When seeking a satellite office solution, don’t underestimate the power of these amenities, especially since employees have become accustomed to having access to things like kitchens when they’ve been working from home.

Fortunately, Radious brings all the comforts of home with the conveniences of the office all in one space - check out this Radspace in Portland as an example!

True Agility - An agile business can react quickly to internal/external changes or opportunities. When you’re considering your office options, locking yourself in a long-term lease does not keep you agile. When considering a flex office solution, think about how agile you want to be. Do you want to easily pivot on a monthly or even weekly basis?

Radious provides true flexibility by providing three pricing models: on-demand booking, fractional leases, and team subscriptions. Choose the one that fits your needs.
