We were forced to experience a fully virtual workplace\u2014a format that many of us had never dipped our toes into. However, companies were surprised to find that team members maintained the same levels of productivity and results during these months, which led many to predict the end of the physical office as we know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, as the world starts to stabilize, many companies have returned to the office, but are experimenting with different flexible models that combine remote work with office days. As this hybrid approach gains popularity, organizations are seeing an opportunity to reduce office space and save on costs. But what are the key factors to keep in mind when finding this balance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Julia Mingorance, alum of the Master in Interior Design, helped us understand the considerations and benefits of the up-and-coming flex model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-at-logistics\"><a><\/a>Looking at logistics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As fewer team members occupy the office, the <strong>classic concept of estimating surface area for the workplace is being challenged<\/strong>. New variables have arisen alongside the new normal of hybridized working patterns, and these factors have increased uncertainty about how much office space is really needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Julia, these variables include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; How many days of remote work will employees take? Will it be roughly the same for all employees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Which attendance model will be established: a voluntary attendance model or a departmental model?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Are common office attendance days going to be established? How can it be ensured that the physical workplace has enough seats for all employees who attend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; How do I manage to retain and attract talent with the new work and office model?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; How can I manage occupancy peaks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; How do I ensure a meaningful experience for employees in the office?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; How do I make my office a magnet for employees and a space for collaboration and teamwork?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; What are other companies doing? What\u2019s the industry standard?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faced with these questions, organizations must determine how much office space they really need in order to adapt the workplace to the new normal and prepare for the future. While there\u2019s no magic formula to achieve this, there is something that all companies must do to ensure survival: <strong>stay agile when responding to uncertainty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns right-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution1.jpg\" alt=\"Julia Mingorance: Transforming uncertainty into a flex solution\" class=\"wp-image-28421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution1-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution1-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-organizations-are-evolving-organisms-and-therefore-require-a-space-that-is-a-dynamic-flexible-ecosystem-and-which-encourages-collaboration-between-different-business-areas-nbsp\">Organizations are evolving organisms and therefore require a space that is a dynamic, flexible ecosystem, and which encourages collaboration between different business areas.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-flexible-solutions-for-companies-of-all-shapes-and-sizes\">Flexible solutions for companies of all shapes and sizes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the search for architectural and interior design solutions, flexible spaces are gaining a lot of attention.

Corporations, startups and freelancers need different things out of a work space on any given day, and the flex model responds to this. For example, if a company only needs a meeting room once a week, they will only pay to use it once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; In the same vein, the pay-per-use model and \u201call-inclusive\u201d rates (furniture, equipment, energy usage, etc.) favor booking per seat rather than by m<sup>2<\/sup>, which helps to <strong>optimize costs and reduces risks for companies<\/strong> that hold per-employee memberships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; It allows corporations to <strong>alleviate peaks in employee occupancy<\/strong>, avoiding a poor office experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Flex spaces are the best alternative to teleworking<\/strong>, offering an ergonomic and safe environment focused on well-being. At the same time, these spaces use interior-design techniques to create a wide variety of spaces and ways of working to foster employees\u2019 productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; These flexible spaces can be fully customized to develop workplace environments and facilities according to the needs of each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldia.es\/tags\/empresas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">company<\/a>, in terms of <strong>privacy and confidentiality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; The flex model promotes community environmentsthat favor entrepreneurship and networking in a <strong>\u201cphygital\u201d (physical + digital) environment<\/strong>, facilitating a hybrid way of working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shift in the way we work isn\u2019t just about reducing office space and costs. It\u2019s about making our spaces more efficient and flexible, responding to our evolving needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns right-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution2.jpg\" alt=\"Julia Mingorance: Transforming uncertainty into a flex solution\" class=\"wp-image-28422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution2.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution2-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Julia-Mingorance-Transforming-uncertainty-into-a-flex-solution2-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-emerging-interior-design-and-architectural-solutions-will-continue-to-explore-the-flex-model-as-it-comes-to-dominate-our-approach-to-organizing-office-space\">Emerging interior-design and architectural solutions will continue to explore the flex model as it comes to dominate our approach to organizing office space.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns banner h-banner banner-b is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading banner-title\" id=\"h-craft-bespoke-flex-spaces\">Craft bespoke flex spaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"banner-content\">Want to become an interior-design professional that\u2019s ready to embrace change and lead organizations into the future with innovative, tailor-made spaces?
