Working flexibly is no longer a myth. With less paperwork, mobile phones and even BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), the cubicle’s days are numbered – and we’re happy to see the back of it.

“Hot-desking” is changing the work environment.

By ditching desks and dividers and adopting a free-range approach, workers are finding greater freedom but also more creativity and innovation.

Collaboration becomes easier – you can create collaboration hubs which allow you to walk up and work in your new digital workspace.

And there’s no right (or wrong) way to do hot-desking. If you’re a start-up or even an individual, companies like Club Workspace offer exclusive locations across London for entrepreneurs and professionals from all industries to work together. These are creative co-working business clubs with Wi-Fi, refreshments and access to a busy calendar of networking and business growth events, but free-roaming is also on the rise.

The place where you work draws you into a certain psychological state.

You can leverage the fact that you have emotional and mental responses to certain places to boost your productivity and success.
