Corpoworking

Definition

Corpoworking is a collaborative workplace within a company. Company employees can benefit from corpoworking services, as can external parties (employees, freelancers, small businesses, etc.) and customers.

Corpoworking is a contraction of the words "coworking" and "corporate".

Employees' needs have greatly evolved: these new workplaces offer an alternative to traditional offices and coworking spaces.

This solution offers individual or shared offices, collaboration spaces, meeting rooms and other facilities for workers. This layout enables more flexible management while preserving the company's identity and culture.

A concept that works?

This innovation is becoming increasingly popular around the world, and is being implemented by major companies. In France, this concept is becoming increasingly established in major groups. For example, Orange opened a 350m² corpoworking space in Paris in 2014. This makes the company a forerunner in the field.
