INVESTMENT: FROM £35 0,000 Keep it local


Why IWG (Regus) locations outside of city centres make a wise investment

uring the pandemic, a new reality dawned on the world’s digital workforce. Working outside of the business HQ proved to be


far more productive than employers had believed it could be, while employees experienced a way of working that better supported their work-life balance. According to research* from IWG – the world’s leading provider of flexible workspace – most workers would now choose the option to avoid commuting to a city centre office full time over a 10% pay rise.


Keen to retain talent, keep productivity high,


and find a more cost-efficient way forward, companies are increasingly moving to a hybrid working model. This sees employees divide their working hours between a local flexible workspace, a company HQ and working from home. As hybrid working gains momentum, the need for flexible workspace outside of city centres – in the suburbs, towns and villages where employees actually live – has rocketed. IWG’s global network supports this step change.
