New New Work platform for companies goes live

The New Work Platform Flesk offers a nationwide network of Workspaces and gives companies access to well-equipped flexible workstations and meeting rooms for their employees. During the pilot phase from March to early October this year, medium and large companies in the private and public sectors - including the canton of St. Gallen, Bison, DEPT, GoBeyond and Ubique - were able to test the system. More than a hundred Swiss Workspaces are already participating, forming a dense network of workplaces that allow employees to work quickly and flexibly in the Flesk app (iOS and Android) can book. Because Flesk takes care of the accounting of the bookings, the companies have no additional administrative effort.

Implementation of self-determined and flexible forms of work

Flesk describes itself as a possible answer to the changing values of the working world, in which flexible, self-determined and team-oriented work are new standards. The shortage of skilled workers and the high level of networking mean that employees and teams want to decide for themselves how, where and when they work. Companies can, for example, use Flesk to give employees the option of using professional work settings throughout Switzerland, such as close to home for less commuting or close to a client for meetings and presentations. Employees can freely choose their workplace in the app to work where they are - the "office GA" for Switzerland, so to speak. All workstations in the network have a high-quality infrastructure that allows various settings such as individual work, video calls or meetings. This not only creates a supplement to the home office, but also an opportunity to bring teams together at inspiring workplaces and promote creative, cooperative forms of work.

Efficient use of resources

Since the Corona pandemic, politics and business have become aware of the relevance of location-independent working. The climate crisis also demands a rethinking of mobility, with the commute playing a central role. With its network of workplaces, the new-work platform Flesk can contribute to a sustainable reduction in commuter flows. Unnecessary vacancies can be avoided and fluctuations in capacity can be better absorbed. This form of flexible workplace management can help companies both increase the satisfaction of employees, who have a diverse choice of settings, and use resources more efficiently and reduce costs. Variable distribution of employee workloads across different, off-site locations can save on rent and energy costs. This model can also be a sensible alternative or addition for companies in view of rising energy costs.
