Leading Hong Kong-based property developer, Chinachem Group, has announced a new partnership with internationally renowned workspace operator, the Hive, welcoming a new trend many global corporations are shifting their workplace strategy towards, hybrid working.
This model offers employees the flexibility to split their time between working from home and the office, and is inspiring an increased awareness of workplace wellness and employee engagement.

Flexibility and Costing are Key Considerations under the New Normal
While employees are increasingly focused on improving work-life balance, corporations are also seeing the need for greater flexibility and productivity under the New Normal. With the ever-changing business landscape, companies of all sizes are exploring new workspace solutions.
A recent market survey by JLL revealed that 41% of companies across the world expect to increase the use of flexible workspaces as part of their post-pandemic workplace strategy, demonstrating strong signs of continued growth for the industry.
Flexible workspaces provide tenants with many competitive advantages such as flexible terms, the ability to down and up-size, cost savings in upfront capital expenditure, and shortened setup times – all providing turn-key opportunities for businesses to move quickly and operate with agility. These factors help to address companies’ need for greater flexibility and headcount mobility in their workplace strategy and allow them to quickly adapt to global workspace trends. Spaces managed by reputable and experienced operators are also well equipped with amenities, engaging communities, and a variety of facilities to accommodate the daily needs of members.
