The flexible workspace user shares that space with others, people from your company or other companies. You share space because you don\u2019t need a desk or a meeting room with so many features at all times. Sharing helps you make savings. You can come when you want and access different kinds of space to do your job, from hot desks to meeting rooms or private office space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A coworking space <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in one type of flexible workspace but there are many variations that you will discover in the next section. The \u2018flexible workspace\u2019 can be easily understood when you oppose it to what we call \u2018conventional office\u2019 spaces with long term lease, equipment, furniture and all sorts of hidden fees to manage this kind of office. The sharing economy principles applied to the office space results in what we call the flexible workspace market. Because people don\u2019t need a desk at all times anymore, office space can be shared. Flexible and remote work trends saw a huge acceleration with the 2020 Covid crisis and the flexible workspace is one of the solutions resulting from those trends.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will now go through the different types of flexible workspaces, offers and styles to help you compare the different coworking space options and facilitate your choice before you make your move into a coworking space or a flexible office space.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"   class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4187 size-large\"   src=\"https:\/\/mlgucbjxeu1m.i.optimole.com\/cb:B7VA.3e989\/w:1024\/h:683\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/f:best\/https:\/\/flydesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/thehive-thonglor-featured.jpg\"   alt=\"\"   width=\"1024\"   height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/workspace\/the-hive-thonglor\/\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hive Thonglor , Bangkok<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Types of flexible office spaces<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There could be different ways to categorize flexible office spaces but the experience we acquired by analyzing our workspace partner network at FLYDESK has led us to categorize flexible office spaces in the following way:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<h3 id=\"Coworkingspace\"><b>Coworking plass<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"  >The Coworking space is the best representation of a flexible workspace. The Coworking space is managed by an operator, where anyone, from individuals to organizations, can come to work without commitment: a day or longer, sometimes accesses are granted for a few minutes. The Coworking space includes various features, equipment and services that you should expect to find in a conventional office such as fast Internet, printing, coffee machine and a lot more&#8230; but the difference is that those benefits are included in a cheap membership. We differentiate the Coworking space category from the following ones described below by the fact it offers the most flexibility with at least a hot desk area, meeting rooms and private offices. The Coworking space is where you will find most startups, entrepreneurs and freelancers but there has been a recent trend with larger organizations also joining those spaces to attract younger talents.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/workspace\/?_categories=coworking-space\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finn en arbeidsplass<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/suggest-workspace\/\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find tenants for your coworking space<\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\r\n<h3 id=\"Servicedoffice\"><b>Betjent kontor<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Serviced office is a flexible office space managed by an operator that provides all the management services and features that are shared between organizations to access a better experience than in a traditional office at much lower cost. At FLYDESK, we differentiate the Serviced office from the Coworking space in the sense that the Serviced office is better suited for teams than individuals because it does not include a hot desk or coworking area where individuals would come for a day or less. The Serviced office often requires a bit more commitment with dedicated office space.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/workspace\/?_categories=serviced-office\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a serviced office<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"  > \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/suggest-workspace\/\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find tenants for your serviced office<\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\r\n<h3><b>Felles kontor<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" >The Shared office is a flexible workspace that you share with one or more organizations to reduce its costs by sharing the common areas like kitchen, pantry or the meeting rooms as well as some management services, equipment and features. It differs from the Serviced office as per our description above in the sense that the Shared office is not managed by an operator and lets the private hosts manage the workspace as they see fit. The shared office will be more suited for organizations that will need more privacy or control over the experience and features they need. This will require a bit more participation and self-discipline to maintain an effective working relationship. On FLYDESK, the Shared offices are proposed by private hosts who will own a space or have the authorization to share the space with sub-tenants. Because of their particularities, the shared offices are represented by a blue pin on the FLYDESK map and listing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/workspace\/?_categories=shared-office\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a shared office<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/suggest-workspace\/\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find tenants for your shared office<\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<h3><b>Private shared office<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" >The private shared office is a conventional office space that a company designed to be shared among its team members. It is a new trend for larger organizations above 30 people that prefer to have their own workspace but still share the access between team members who will not always be in the office in order to reduce the office space cost. The private flexible office relies on a conventional office that companies need to design, equip and manage with tech applications for the team in order to maximize the seating occupancy. One of the challenges in choosing that option is the need to ensure that your space is either not too empty nor too crowded. That\u2019s why companies need to anticipate the implementation of workspace and team management applications. FLYDESK has developed an App to enable companies to manage their shared workspace and have more visibility on the people&#8217;s working habits.

Some coworking spaces offer you an access from a few minutes to longer term commitment but the hot desking rule is that you don\u2019t get to keep your spot every day so you need take all of your belongings with you when they are done at the end of the day (as opposed to a dedicated desk). The hot desk or coworking memberships are often the cheapest options.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/workspace\/?_offer=hot-desk\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a hot desk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/suggest-workspace\/\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find tenants for your hot desk<\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\r\n<h3><b>Dedikert skrivebord<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"  >The Dedicated desk provides most of the benefits of a Hot desk in terms of desk access, facilities and equipment but with the advantage of keeping the same desk area for a longer duration than a day which usually grants you access to the space outside business hours. Some coworking spaces or serviced offices sometimes provide a higher standard of seating and desk space as you are commiting to a dedicated desk with a longer rent period of time and very often at slightly higher rate. Most dedicated desk offers would start from a month of commitment and this would be more convenient for people without a decent place to work from home or anywhere else.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/workspace\/?_offer=dedicated-desk\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a dedicated desk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/flydesk.com\/nb\/suggest-workspace\/\"   target=\"_blank\"   rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find tenants for your dedicated desk<\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\r\n<h3><b>Privat kontor<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" >The Private office has the exact same benefits of a Dedicated desk but with the privacy of being in an independent room separate from the rest of the workspace, allowing you to have one to many people in the office. This is the perfect solution for medium size teams from 3 to 30 people sharing a space in a private furnished room. The private offices proposed by Serviced office or Coworking space operators are a cheaper alternative to conventional offices requiring an entirely private and self-managed space.

This is the perfect solution for entrepreneurs or independent professionals like coaches, teachers, trainers or sales people who need to meet their client in a professional environment.
