Is it time to end our love affair with the office or can you make it work harder for you?
In a post-Covid world which has accelerated flexible and hybrid working, what is the value in investing in office space?
The property you pick can do a lot for you and be more than just a desk and the walls around you. It can be space to collaborate with your colleagues, enhance the working day of your people with health and well-being or even somewhere to network with a community of like-minded businesses.
If you’ve found the perfect home for your business, how do you manage your space? Choosing the right partners can improve your operations and their services can bring a lot of value to your business.
In this session we’ll look at:
- What added value can a physical office bring?
- What sort of package from your landlord is going to suit your needs?
- Who looks after what - is it you or the landlord?
- What can be the pitfalls and grey areas?
- Not all suppliers are equal. How do you choose the right fit for your business?
