How the Pandemic Increased Demand for Hourly Office Rental
The days of the daily commute to a corporate building are becoming a thing of the past as many companies are electing to have their employees work from home to do their jobs. The Covid-19 Pandemic is the reason and with many people still hearing about the cubicle life they once had, the solution is office and coworker space renting. Not only are everyday employees affected by the pandemic but so are entrepreneurs who may have been renting spaces in buildings owned by corporations who decided to close shop in lieu of a remote work operating style. Vancouver is no different, but we have the solution for this increase in demand with our hourly office rental.

Why Hourly Virtual Office Space Renting is Attractive

The pandemic taught most businesses one thing: They can do things from home. It also showed employees that they could have flexibility in the way they work and now, many more employees are opting for roles that are remote. While working from home has its advantages, the disadvantages are just as prevalent. For this reason, many businesses and some employees reject the idea of remote working. Businesses don’t want to waste money on buildings that they have. Also, employees, do not want to mix their home life with their work life. However, businesses are having to bend to the demand for remote work flexibility in the job market. As they continue to face staffing problems, the decisions to offer more remote and hybrid work environments are becoming a top priority.

High Overhead Cost

Now that the pandemic is sloping downward, many businesses are moving back to full-time operations in their brick-and-mortar facilities, but the pandemic left the job market with a problem. Now many more employees find remote work or hybrid remote roles more attractive. Many are also leaving jobs that do not offer this as a work option. Now businesses find themselves understaffed while still having large buildings to pay for. Businesses can resolve this by opting to use virtual working spaces for rent by the hour to accommodate smaller work staff that opts to work in the office while the remaining staff work from their homes. This can lower overhead by reducing the amount spent on renting a whole facility.

Improve The Employee Work Experience

Some employees don’t mind coming into an office space daily, and there are those who only mind it once or twice a week. You also have those who never want to step foot into a cubicle again. Office space renting by the hour is a great solution for those employees who desire hybrid-remote working. In addition, some employees may not have the type of work environment at home that makes doing their role at home ideal. Renting workspace for these employees for the duration of their work shift can be an ideal solution when keeping an entire building is not cost-effective for these employees.

Self-Employed Workers

Self-employed workers and those workers who are employed by a corporation are also seeking workspaces where they can rent for a few hours a day to get their work done. They do this so that they can draw a line between their work life and their home life. If they do not have space in their home to create a dedicated room for an office, rental office space is an ideal solution for them.
