Flexible work environment
What is a flexible work environment?
A flexible work environment is a workplace that offers a range of spaces for different kinds of work, such as bookable desks, meeting rooms, focus pods and informal areas, and lets people choose where to work depending on the task, often combined with the option to work remotely.
What it includes
- Bookable desks and team areas
- Meeting rooms in different sizes
- Pods and quiet zones for focus
- Informal spaces for short conversations
What makes it work
Choice only helps if people can see what is free. Without a way to find and book spaces, people fall back on habits and the flexibility goes unused.
How AskCody supports it
AskCody lets people book rooms from Outlook and desks through AskCody desk booking, shown by area on a map, and workplace analytics shows which spaces are used and which sit empty.
Frequently asked questions
Is a flexible work environment the same as activity-based working?
They are closely related. Activity-based working is a strategy built on a flexible environment.
Does it mean no one has a fixed desk?
Not necessarily. Many offices mix assigned and bookable desks.
