Virtual Offices Featured in Dallas Business Journal
Need more proof that virtual office space is catching on? Look no further than this week’s Dallas Business Journal. Web reporter Kerri Panchuk penned an article entitled, “Is the virtual office the future? Regus report suggests so.”
The article talks about a Regus-sponsored survey that reveals employees more than ever desire workplaces that offer flexibility for them to be productive. Specifically, the survey found that 59 percent of participants said, “working fewer days in the office” would make a positive difference on staff retention.
“They are looking to be as close to home as possible,” Jeffrey Doughman, a regional vice president at Regus, told the Dallas Business Journal. “Youthful workers are looking for more work-life balance — that has been fairly consistent in the past four or five years.”
Why would Regus promote virtual office space when it has serviced office facilities all over the world? One reason is because virtual offices are the hottest trend in alternative workspaces nowadays and Regus knows it.
We’ve posted lots of different takes on what a virtual office is on A Better Virtual. You can find some of those links below. In a nutshell, a virtual office is a set of technologies and services that lets businesses work remotely.
A virtual office from Regus or Davinci Virtual gives you a prestigious business address, a telephone number, mail pick up, the ability to rent a conference room or a day office to meet clients and more for a fraction of the cost of a traditional office space.
With a down economy, more small companies are exploring the concept of virtual offices. In the Dallas Business Journal article, Doughman also noted that virtual offices aren’t just for entrepreneurs anymore. Companies that are downsizing or expanding into new markets can also benefit from the low cost and flexibility of a virtual office.
