More Companies Will Utilize Shared Office Space in 2012, Prediction Says
January 3, 2012
No comments Officing Today reports: What can we expect in the world of office space as we head into 2012? A bold new forecast predicts that alternative workplace strategies will be key to success in the coming year.
Maximizing the efficient use of real estate, resources, and energy will be a critical business focus in 2012. Mobile workers have been on the rise in recent years, and this trend is all but certain to continue. Management teams will likely put a stronger emphasis on videoconferencing solutions, telepresence technology, and leveraging flexible space to maximize productivity without increasing costs.
On average, it costs more than $10,000 per year to maintain a single workspace, the report says — but switching to a variable workspace model can pay for itself in the first quarter alone.
As companies strive to increase efficiency, they will be more likely to utilize shared office space as an alternative to real-estate expansion and underutilized satellite offices. Coworking facilities, shared office space, and executive office suites are the wave of the future.
