In the the ultra competitive Downtown Toronto, businesses are increasingly adopting hybrid models, serviced offices, and coworking spaces to retain talent, enhance employee satisfaction, and drive productivity. As Toronto’s business environment embraces flexibility, The Rostie Group has positioned itself as a premier provider of these solutions, offering workspaces that blend convenience, comfort, and community.
But how do these flexible options—particularly serviced offices and the new coworking model—contribute to happier employees and better business outcomes? Let’s explore the latest data and see why more companies are making the switch.
The Hybrid Work Revolution: Driving Satisfaction and Retention
A study by Accenture found that 83% of employees prefer hybrid work models, and 65% consider it their ideal setup. By offering flexibility, businesses are seeing direct benefits, including improved morale, better work-life balance, and increased retention.
The Stanford study led by economist Nicholas Bloom revealed a 33% reduction in resignations among employees who transitioned to hybrid schedules. This indicates that hybrid work is not just a trend—it’s a proven strategy for retaining talent in competitive markets like Toronto.
Companies that integrate hybrid models with flexible workspaces allow their teams to enjoy the best of both worlds: the structure of an office environment and the freedom to work remotely when needed.
Serviced Offices: A Hassle-Free Solution for Growing Teams
For businesses seeking a professional, ready-to-use workspace without long-term commitments or the hassle of managing an office, serviced offices have become the go-to solution.
Serviced offices provide fully furnished, private offices with access to shared amenities like meeting rooms, lounges, and kitchens. At The Rostie Group’s 20 Bay Street and 207 Queens Quay West locations, companies can take advantage of flexible lease terms and upscale amenities, including ergonomic workstations, high-speed internet, and advanced audiovisual equipment.
These offices are ideal for growing teams that need a professional environment with minimal setup time and overhead costs. By removing the burden of office management, serviced offices allow businesses to focus entirely on their operations while enjoying a polished, well-maintained workspace.
Coworking Spaces: From Traditional to the New Model
Coworking spaces have long been associated with freelancers and small businesses sitting side-by-side with strangers in open-plan environments. While traditional coworking still has its place, a new model of coworking has emerged—one that’s designed for larger teams and growing businesses.
At The Rostie Group, this new coworking model provides dedicated spaces for individual companies, ensuring privacy and consistency while retaining the flexibility and collaborative atmosphere of coworking. Unlike traditional coworking, where you might find yourself seated next to a stranger, this approach offers a dedicated section of the workspace that’s exclusively for your company, with shared access to premium amenities like meeting rooms, kitchens, and event spaces.
This dedicated coworking model blends the benefits of coworking—community, flexibility, and cost efficiency—with the privacy and customization typically associated with private offices. Employees enjoy a dynamic, engaging atmosphere while still having a consistent workspace tailored to their needs.
According to a recent study, 96.9% of individuals felt more satisfied with their job after working in a coworking space, and 83% reported feeling less isolated. By adopting the new coworking model, companies can offer employees a social yet structured environment that improves both well-being and productivity.
