Flexibility is key in any modern workspace. SMEs, in particular are likely to experience or anticipate growth so it’s vital that they can adapt to changing requirements quickly without causing major disruption.
With a modern emphasis on employee wellbeing, businesses can reap the benefits of greater productivity, but it also means that workforces have earned the right to be that bit more discerning about their place of work. Noisy, open-plan offices no longer make the cut, and businesses that are stuck in traditional working methods are at risk of losing their top talent.
So, what should you do? As a growing company, you’re not just looking to survive; you’re aiming to positively thrive. But the question remains; how do you make that leap when your workspace needs are evolving just as rapidly as your business?
One solution that’s gained immense popularity is office pods. They’re extremely common in modern, forward-thinking workplaces and an undeniable head-turner. But are they really a good investment for your company? Let's explore.
What Are Office Pods?
Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’re undoubtedly familiar with modular office pods. Office pods, or booths are self-contained, soundproof workspaces designed to provide privacy and focus within an open-plan office. They come in various sizes, from single-person booths to larger meeting rooms, making them versatile solutions for any office layout.
Our pods are perfect for private calls, focused work, or even small meetings, all while maintaining the open and collaborative atmosphere of your buzzing office.
The Flexibility Factor: Grow or Downsize with Ease
As an SME, the ability to adapt quickly to changes in your business is crucial. Let’s imagine you’ve just won a huge contract and need to quickly allocate your workforce to a number of different working methods such as collaboration and focused work.
Office pods offer unparalleled flexibility. Whether you’re expanding your team or downsizing, pods can be added, removed, or rearranged without the hassle of a major office overhaul. This flexibility is especially valuable if you’re renting your office space or planning to relocate as your company grows. Equally, if you’ve made an investment, the investment comes with you.
Choose solo pods for private work, small to large collaborative pods for meetings or teamwork based on your requirements. You eliminate distractions from the remaining office space, and everyone works freely and comfortably.
That epitomises wellbeing, and productivity will flow.
Cost-Effective Solutions: Renting vs. Purchasing
We get it, managing cash flow is one of the biggest challenges for growing businesses, but investing in office pods doesn’t have to be a financial burden. With FluidSpace Flex, we offer flexible options to suit your budget, including rental, lease, and purchase plans.
Furniture rental is perfect if you need short-term solutions or are testing the waters with office pods. Perhaps you’re growing gradually and feel ready to make the move but remain concerned about commitment. We totally understand that businesses like to test and measure, and a rental option gives you the flexibility to do exactly that. It’s a great financial option as you’re free from tying up any capital in fixed assets and your rental furniture is tax deductible.
Furniture leasing is a great middle-ground that allows you to spread out the cost, offering more financial flexibility. Fixed monthly payments allow you to free up valuable working capital which any growing business needs.
Purchasing is ideal if you’re ready to make a long-term investment in your workspace. Our team of experts will guide you through the procurement of your office pod and help you attain the best choices for your workplace requirements.
Remember, investing in an office pod means that it comes with you, so you can always ensure a flexible working space regardless of any future move.
Our flexibilty allows you to choose the option that best aligns with your current financial situation and business strategy.
