An interview we recently did for Tribes community.

In recent months, we have signed new partnerships with the following companies:

◼︎ Laan22 ◼︎ WIN Hotels Group ◼︎ NIO Netherlands

Laan22 is a flex office operator active in the Roosendaal region. If you need a full-service office for a day or meeting room in the Roosendaal / Bergen op Zoom area, Laan22 is the place to be!

WIN Hotels Group is with almost 20 hotels in Amsterdam, including Hilton Doubletree next to Amsterdam Central Station, the largest private hotel owner in the Netherlands. With this partnership, we are expanding the service for international customers. Soon customers will be able to book hotel stays (special WorkSnap prices!) in the city center of Amsterdam directly on WorkSnap. Work, meet and stay overnight within a short distance of each other, that will all be possible with WorkSnap!

Two innovative brands, EV car brand NIO and WorkSnap, are teaming up! NIO’s showrooms, called NIO Houses, are as innovative as their cars.

We notice that there are often questions about what a ‘Private Day Office' actually is. Whether it is a co-working space.

Remote working is a term for working outside the office. This started with the rise of the laptop, roughly in the early 1990s. Remote working can be at home, but usually, we're talking about working on your laptop at a beach bar, at a coffee shop, or a roadside restaurant. Because it usually takes place in public spaces, privacy can often be difficult.

Co-working is a variation on remote working. This occurs in, also often public, spaces that are more set up for work. There are large tables where you can sit down with your laptop, there's wifi, and coffee machines or sometimes even a bar. Privacy is also usually difficult here. As in all public spaces, you're not always sure whether your belongings will be respected.

With the rise of corporate flexible office operators, subscriptions are offered where you can work, often with several other guests, for a number of days in their co-working spaces for a relatively low fee. Flexible office locations are even sometimes also called 'Co-working Offices'. We can understand that this can be confusing!

At WorkSnap, we provide spaces with privacy. We want you to be able to work or have a meeting without being disturbed by other users in the space. After all, you don't share a hotel room with a stranger, right?

When you book a Private Day Office for a day at WorkSnap, you'll have your own office space with a door you can close. You can work and for instance make a (video) call without disturbing anyone and with all the privacy you need. The same applies when booking a meeting room. Here, you can meet up with your client(s) or collaborate with your colleague(s) without any distractions and in absolute privacy.

All our locations are full serviced, which means that all Private Day Offices are equipped with furniture with attention to ergonomics, safety, and health in the workplace. Meeting rooms are equipped with amenities such as a TV screen for giving presentations. And of course, regardless of whether you book a Private Day Office or a meeting room, there is always free coffee and tea available.

We hope that this post makes the difference between a Private Day Office and Co-working space clear. If you still have any questions, please don’t hesitate getting in contact with us and we will assist you right away!

Today, a new study by TNO was released about remote working in the Netherlands.

Here are a few key findings:

● Wednesdays and Fridays are the preferred days for working from home.

● Remote work leads to a better work-life balance.

● People are more productive when working from home.

● At most companies employees work from home on average two days a week.

● The farther the employee lives from the office, the more they tend to work from home.

● People go to the office for social interaction and to know what's happening at the workplace.

Want to work from home today but you can't? Book on WorkSnap your own private day office near by!

Should it always be accessible 24/7 or at exceptional places? Or would you be able to work with minimal amenities as long as there is wifi?

These days, flexible office spaces and meeting rooms come in all shapes and sizes. However, we at WorkSnap are convinced that full serviced flexibele offices meets most needs: pleasant spaces where you can work a day uninterrupted or have a meeting, comfortable furniture, easy accessibility by car and public transport, tasty coffee and tea (which are free at our locations), and of course, fast wifi. We collaborate with professional full service flexibele office operators who have proven themselves.

Especially in big cities like Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, and The Hague, the offerings are more than excellent. But we also have locations in cities like Enschede, Arnhem, and Emmen. We have an almost nationwide cover, thanks to the extensive location availabilty of our partners!

So, whether you're looking to rent a private day office for a day in Apeldoorn or a meeting room in Almere, we can accommodate you there too. We regularly add new locations, also outside the Randstad area. And always at a fixed price! This makes WorkSnap unique, and we're extremely proud of it!

These days, many people work in open-plan offices, while it is becoming increasingly clear that more and more people, especially highly sensitive people, become overworked, overstrung, and irritated after a day of working in such an environment. This is one of the causes leading to a burnout. Human Recource specialists outright say: Open-plan office? Don't do it!

So why do open-plan offices still exist? According to Wim Pullen, former managing director of Center for People and Buildings, in a TV program De Monitor from a few years ago, there are three reasons why open-plan offices still exist:

• It's a matter of money. Employers can fit more people per square meter of floor space;
• The naive thought that creativity and communication are enhanced in an open-plan office space;
• Lack of knowledge among architects and office space designers about what is good for the people who have to work there.

Make sure your facility has plenty of quiet workspaces where employees, when needed, can retreat and focus without distractions, like single-person office rooms.

Running short on these spaces? Why don't you give your employees the opportunity to occasionally book a private day office at WorkSnap? A break out from the open-plan office for a day! Concentration and productivity guaranteed!

WorkSnap collaborates with nearly all renowned flexible office operators. Booking a private day office for a day or a meeting room is just a few clicks away! With locations nationwide, always at a fixed price, and of course with no obligations. Pay-as-you-go!

The pandemic has noticeably changed how we work at the office. Partially working remote at home has become common. But when we go to the office, do we have a different perception of our office?

"Despite the reduced number of collegues at the office due to remote working, satisfaction about the amount of and diversity of meeting spaces has decreased compared to the situation before the pandemic."

Read here a recent study by Center for People and Buildings.

After the corona pandemic, we were bombarded with all kinds of calls from CEOs of large companies to return to the office. Here and there there were even threats of dismissal. But the workers won.

This is evident from the article by the American media channel Axios. Only six of the 158 CEOs of American companies surveyed say they are prioritizing getting staff back into the office. More than 27% of CEOs now expect that hybrid working – partly at home, partly at the office – is here to stay. In another study - conducted by Deloitte - among financial managers who are allowed to hold the position of CFO, no fewer than 65% of CFOs expect that their company will allow some form of hybrid working.

Now, 20-25% of all workers in the United States work from home at least part of the week. That is lower than the 47% at the height of the pandemic but much higher than the average of 3% before. Striking: an employee complained that back at the office he was only Zooming with colleagues elsewhere.

We were recently interviewed by Ondernemers Magazine.

With WorkSnap, we offer employers a tool, a flexible layer around their housing strategy, providing their employees the opportunity to occasionally book a private day office where they can work without distraction or a meeting room to have a meeting where ever they wish.

WorkSnap offers the ultimate flexibility because we collaborate with the best and renowned operators of flexible office solutions. There are no subscription fees or other obligations with us. You only pay when the space is used.

✅ No fixed costs if the space is not used ✅ Locations nationwide ✅ All locations have the same fixed price ✅ Contributes to a lower carbon footprint by reducing travel

As of March 1, 2024, anyone who books a private day office or meeting room on WorkSnap can also immediately book a day ticket in a nearby Q-Park parking garage with an attractive discount.   With more than 140 parking garages throughout the country, Q-Park is the suitable partner to work with. WorkSnap is thus taking a new step in increasing the level of service for its bookers.   This only concerns full-day parking in a Q-Park parking garage in combination with a private day office or meeting room at a number of WorkSnap locations in major cities. The day ticket starts at the time of entry and is then valid for 24 hours. Bookers are then assured of a parking space nearby and no longer have to go to the payment machine afterwards.   The parking service currently concerns eight locations in Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. We expect to further expand this parking service in the future with new locations of existing and future flex operators.   We thank Jill Baron - van Briemen from Q-Park Netherlands for the collaboration.
