Nestl é China will provide flexible office space for employees! What companies does Nestl é have?

In the post-epidemic era, with the improvement of enterprises' demand for business model flexibility, it has brought unprecedented opportunities for the flexible office industry. IWG recently announced that it has reached an agreement with Nestl é to provide flexible working space for all its Nestle employees in China.

Speaking of the IWG Group, you may be more familiar with the name Regus, because the IWG Group changed its name from the Riggs Group in 2016, and the Riggs Business Center has been the company's most successful office space brand in the past three decades.

In addition to Regus, IWG Group also includes SPACES, a shared space brand for urban creative people, Signature, a private high-end customized office space brand, and low-end, cost-effective Open Office.

Up to now, IWG Group has set up nearly 120 flexible office spaces in 29 cities in China, most of which are concentrated in the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. IWG Group said that in the future, the layout of IWG outlets will gradually sink to second-and third-tier cities to provide more customers with office products and services.

IWG Group recently announced that it has reached an agreement with Nestle Group to provide all its Nestle employees in China with the workspace of IWG Group's 3500 flexible office centers around the world, starting with landing in China and expanding globally in the future.

The head of real estate and workplace in Nestl é Greater China said, "the impact of the novel coronavirus epidemic has changed the way people work." In an epidemic, flexible office models play a huge role in enabling employees to continue to work without having to arrive at the office, and have a positive impact on productivity and employee health. The flexible office concept of the IWG Group coincides with our concept of creating a better, healthier, more productive and sustainable workplace for our Chinese employees. "

This behavior of Nestl é Group shows that it is optimistic about the prospect of flexible office, and attaches importance to the impact of flexible office on improving employees' work efficiency and output and work-life balance.

Prior to this, Google, Facebook and other well-known multinational technology companies were the first to announce the adoption of flexible working system, and even after allowing employees to work from home for a long time, Standard Chartered Bank, a traditional financial giant, also announced that by 2023, 90% of the world's employees will implement permanent flexible working.

This epidemic has inspired people that they do not have to concentrate on office work. In the era of advanced science and technology and communication technology, office work is actually concentrated in one equipment. Compared with flexible office, centralized office solves the problem of office environment and communication interaction, but these can be solved through distributed office.

In addition, flexible office has become a decisive factor in the competition for talents.

In 2019, a new survey conducted by the IWG Group, the world's leading provider of flexible office solutions, showed that 83 per cent of employees around the world refused to offer flexible work opportunities, and more than half (54 per cent) of respondents said the choice of office location was more important than the halo of famous companies.

Why do job seekers attach so much importance to flexible work?

On the one hand, because of traffic problems, most people will be late because of traffic chaos, plus the time of the day is either on the way to work or on the way to work, when people's dissatisfaction on the way to and from work increases, so does the pressure. Flexible office can not only provide employees with convenient commuting space, but also enable employees to find a balance between work and life and provide work efficiency.

In addition, it can also reduce the traffic pressure on the road and reduce carbon emissions.

However, not all enterprises can accept flexible office, for some enterprises, flexible office means to change the corporate culture, for those enterprises that have not used flexible office for a long time, can not bear the impact of flexible office on the overall corporate culture.

Now, enterprises around the world are facing many challenges, how to ensure that they are flexible enough to adapt to the ever-changing market. For companies that do not realize the human resources and strategic benefits of flexible office, it is also time to consider flexible office, otherwise, they will not only lag behind their competitors, but also unable to meet the office needs of modern labor force. resulting in a large number of brain drain.
