The flex office, otherwise known as "flexible office", is an organization that offers many advantages. Deskare facilitates the daily management of the office for the employees who find themselves without an assigned workstation.
Between cost reduction for the company and increased quality of life at work thanks to collaboration for employees, the flex office knows how to convince. The organization is based on the fact that the employees are not all present at the same time in the premises and on the sharing of spaces. This avoids having vacant workstations, but still paid by the employer.
Expansion, otherwise known as the flex office rate or office sharing rate, is the ratio of the number of workstations available to the company to the number of employees.
The flex office, or the "no fixed office" was born in the 1980s. "Your office is where you are": Philip Stone and Robert Luchetti, professors at Harvard, have put words to this practice. One of the first companies to implement it was IBM, thanks to Activity Based Working.
By switching to flex office, companies want to provide more flexibility to their employees and adapt their workspaces to the real needs and expectations of their employees. The savings made can be reinvested in the office experience and well-being.
Some companies start to organize the flex office with an Excel table. Very quickly, the daily management for HR and Office managers becomes complicated. Deskare is an intuitive and easy to use tool to follow the flex office, save time and improve the employee experience.
