<p>The world of work is changing at a speed never seen before. The pandemic has been a catalyst that has only accelerated a change that had been underway for years. And it is doing so in a far more radical way than anyone could have expected.</p>
<p>The term <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Resignation">&quot;Great Resignation&quot;</a> that was coined in the USA during the pandemic reflected the feelings of many people who were not willing to work anyway, with the previous models, models that did not harmonize work and personal life. This led millions of people (more than 4 million according to various news reports) to leave their jobs and consider a more humane way of living their working lives.</p>
<p>This same effect has already reached Europe and Spain. And it manifests itself in different ways, from the impossibility of filling the labor supply, to the criteria that people use to choose between different job offers.</p>
<h2 id="the-search-for-new-ways-of-working">The search for new ways of working</h2>
<p>Various studies affirm that in sectors such as technology, although not only, where non-face-to-face work is feasible, if the labor supply does not change, between 41% and 54% of professionals will leave their current positions to look for other work models more in line with this new way of living and working.</p>
<p>The salary aspect is still the most important, with many people preferring a slightly lower salary if they are allowed to work in a work anywhere model.</p>
<h2 id="why-should-companies-offer-the-hybrid-model">Why should companies offer the hybrid model?</h2>
<p>There are many different use cases and many reasons why companies will benefit from offering hybrid models to their employees.</p>
<p>All surveys conducted in the last two years point to the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The higher the degree of face-to-face, the lower the degree of people satisfaction.</li>
<li>Lack of telecommuting options leads to lower productivity.</li>
<li>Retention and attraction of talent decreases with face-to-face work.</li>
</ul>
<p>Moreover, attracting talent is much more expensive than retaining it. According to <a href="https://www.gnapartners.com/resources">GNA partners</a>, replacing the departure of a junior profile involves an additional cost of between 30% and 50% of the cost of the profile, while if we are talking about a senior, the range rises to 100%-150%. Although other studies, such as this one by <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/how-much-does-employee-turnover-really-cost_b_587fbaf9e4b0474ad4874fb7">Huffington Post</a>, put it much higher.</p>
<p>Likewise, these surveys of people point to a model in which they can have the autonomy to decide the work environment between their own offices, home and flexible spaces, coworkings or others.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/hybrid-working-models/office-vs-remote.png" alt="Behavioral graph on face-to-face office work and telework">
No one doubts the need for direct human contact, wherever it may be. Socialization and team engagement are essential. But it doesn&#39;t necessarily have to take place in the office - there are many more options.</p>
<h2 id="why-not-just-home-office">Why not just Home Office?</h2>
<p>Teleworking from home is undoubtedly a good option. It allows to reconcile work and personal life and saves time and money for people. But it also has drawbacks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Burnout syndrome</li>
<li>Long working hours due to the difficulty of disconnection and the separation of both worlds.</li>
<li>The adaptation of the domestic space to be able to work.</li>
<li>The intrusion of the domestic world into the work world and vice versa.</li>
<li>Health and Safety conditions</li>
<li>Aspects related to Occupational Risk Prevention.</li>
<li>The control of the hours worked</li>
</ul>
<p>All this problematic one induces to think that the Home Office, being a very good option, must not be considered as the exclusive option of telework.</p>
<h2 id="telework-and-the-telework-law">Telework and the Telework Law</h2>
<p>Additional attention should be paid to the <a href="https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-2020-11043">Royal Decree-Law 28/2020</a>, which includes the regulation and regulation of teleworking when it involves a minimum of 30% of the working day. In this situation, of more than 30% of the working day developed outside the work centers of the company, a series of labor and economic conditions regulated by a teleworking agreement between the worker and the company must be fulfilled.</p>
<p>These conditions include from compensation to the worker, to the assurance of compliance with the rules of Occupational Risk Prevention in the place where the activity is developed.</p>
<h2 id="work-anywhere-the-eekox-proposal">Work Anywhere. The <a href="https://www.eekox.com">eekox</a> proposal.</h2>
<p>Flexibility in deciding where people work as a tool to increase employee satisfaction and company productivity is one of the key tools in the hands of companies to achieve these objectives.
eekox offers a collaboration model with companies in which they have credits for the use of flexible spaces that their employees can use.</p>
<p>For example, a company can purchase a package of 100 credits that its employees can use in flexible workstations or meeting rooms, allowing them to work both individually and in teams. Continuing with the example, employees could use 1 credit to reserve a table. Or 3 credits to reserve a room for 4 people, or 6 credits for a room for a meeting of 10 people.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Who uses it? Everyone the company decides.</p>
</li>
<li><p>How often? As often as the company decides, from once a week to every day. The model is absolutely flexible.</p>
</li>
<li><p>How do you use it? Through an immediate reservation of any of the existing spaces in the eekox platform.</p>
</li>
<li><p>How does the company control consumption and spending? Because it has a backend where it can see in real time which employees are using which resources. In addition to having the confirmation of the use of these spaces and not just the mere reservation.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, the company can carry out a pilot in which a satisfaction survey is conducted before and after the use of the spaces to verify in an objective way the goodness of the model.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/hybrid-working-models/coworking-space.png" alt="Several people gathered on the floor with papers and laptops sharing ideas"></p>
<h2 id="benefits-of-the-hybrid-model">Benefits of the hybrid model.</h2>
<p>Companies, using the model described above, obtain a number of advantages that can be specified as:</p>
<ol>
<li>reducing employee turnover, retaining and attracting talent.</li>
<li>Increasing employee productivity, guaranteeing their wellbeing.</li>
<li>Ensuring safe spaces by minimizing occupational hazards in suitable working environments.</li>
<li>Working in spaces provided by eekox does not necessarily count as teleworking. It is possible to define the existing workspaces in eekox.com as &quot;own&quot; work centers of the company, so that only work at home would count as telework.</li>
<li>Reduce the variable costs derived from renting and managing your own offices, and derive part of the savings to flexible work options.</li>
<li>Cost control and flexibility.</li>
<li>Publish and market unused space on and through the eekox platform, generating a benefit where there was a cost.</li>
</ol>
<p>But it is a win-win model, because for people, there are also multiple benefits:</p>
<ol>
<li>Accessible and easy, through the employee App for immediate search and booking.</li>
<li>Perfect match between their preferences and the spaces.</li>
<li>Generation of synergies, promotion of team building and socialization in professional environments that nurture their growth.</li>
<li>Access to a community that generates mutual value and enriches employees and their companies.</li>
<li>Schedule control that favors disconnection,</li>
<li>Availability of adequate physical space, which also complies with labor and occupational health and safety regulations.</li>

Why companies should go for the new hybrid models

<p>To move forward with a good business idea often requires capital to be able to tackle all the necessary tasks at the right time. It is very important to know which sources of financing we can turn to without paying an excessive or unnecessary price, especially in terms of equity. From <strong><a href="https://eekox.com/">eekox</a></strong> we want to encourage those who are undertaking and starting their adventure and therefore we leave you this <strong><a href="https://eekox.com/2022/02/06/los-10-pasos-para-lanzar-una-startup/">post</a></strong>, in which we provide clues and ideas on this critical and delicate issue that is the search for capital.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-a-startup">What is a startup?</h2>
<p>Before we begin, let&#39;s define what a startup is. According to the chamber of commerce, &quot;a startup is a new or early-age company that presents great growth potential and commercializes products and services through the use of information and communication technologies. (....) They are businesses that go to market quickly to achieve the necessary growth and funding through digital transformation.&quot;</p>
<p>You can read this post we published a few weeks ago about the necessary steps for your startup to succeed.</p>
<h2 id="what-are-the-phases-of-a-startup">What are the phases of a Startup?</h2>
<p>It is important to give a brushstroke to know where we are, because in each phase our startup will have different investment and working capital needs and we will have to go to the right partner:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pre-Seed.</strong> There is only the idea, it is time to look for partners (if you don&#39;t have them and you want to have them) and sign a Partner Agreement with them. You will need some funding through the 3F (Family, Friends &amp; Fools).</li>
<li><strong>Seed</strong>. It&#39;s time to validate the Business and drive it forward. You need to get funding through a participatory loan or a business angel.</li>
<li><strong>Growth Stage</strong>. The business model works and starts to have cash flow. But an injection of capital is needed for the business to grow according to the Business Plan. This is where investment funds come in.</li>
<li><strong>Scale-up Stage</strong>. The scalability of the business allows the startup to internationalize and attack different or complementary market segments to the initial ones. Expansion may be accompanied by alliances with other companies or the entry of private equity.</li>
<li><strong>Exit</strong>. This is the point we all want to reach, whether we execute it or not. It is the moment to exit to the stock market or to sell to another company. Or not.....</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="bootstrapping">Bootstrapping</h2>
<p>Even if the term doesn&#39;t ring a bell, it should always be the first choice. Bootstrapping refers to the ability to finance itself, using only the capital contributed by the founding partners and the capital generated by the business itself.</p>
<p>It has a fundamental advantage: the founding partners do not lose equity and maintain full decision-making capacity. There is no dilution derived from having to sell shares to investors, so you will always keep 100% of the company.</p>
<p>But it is also true that this mechanism is not viable in most cases. The very definition of a startup implies the existence of costs that will appear before the phases in which the company generates sufficient capital flows to sustain the cost (break-even).</p>
<p>Whatever the amount you need, you must keep in mind that any investor will fundamentally value two things, the business plan and the team. So let&#39;s see where and how we have to go to inject fuel to our business.</p>
<h2 id="in-the-pre-seed-phase">In the Pre-Seed phase</h2>
<p>In this phase you are the investor. There is little more than an idea with a greater or lesser degree of maturity. It is the moment when the founding partners are encouraged to take the step of incorporating the company and make the first capital contribution. The normal thing is to constitute a SL with the minimum contribution, that is to say 3.000 € that have to serve to cover the first expenses of starting up the business. These expenses may be zero or very small or somewhat higher depending on your business. Some additional capital may be needed at this stage. For example, you need to develop an MVP in order to start verifying business hypotheses.</p>
<p>If the founding partners&#39; contributions are not enough to cover these costs you can always resort to the 3F&#39;s, i.e. Family, Friends &amp; Fools. You will be receiving a &quot;soft loan&quot; without the demands of other potential investors that you will have to resort to later.</p>
<p>Without it being a rule, we could be considering the need to cover between 5K€ and 30K€.</p>
<h2 id="in-seed-phase">In Seed phase.</h2>
<p>With the MVP in hand, it is necessary to start verifying the business hypotheses as broadly as possible. It is necessary to identify the target customer segments and reach them. And this will require a larger investment than what can be asked from the 3Fs (unless you are from a wealthy family).
The capital needs at this point are not exorbitant, but they are necessary to cover a series of costs among which may be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Basic infrastructure for both hardware and services, laptops, licenses, AWS, etc.</li>
<li>Evolutions of the MVP for which we may need to hire the services of a programmer.</li>
<li>Small digital marketing campaigns</li>
<li>We are thinking about a need for funding in a range between 50K€ and 200K€ that we can seek through:</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="business-angels-here-you-have-a-list-of-the-100-most-active-vcs-in-spain-in-2021">Business Angels (<a href="https://elreferente.es/ecosistema/lista-100-business-angels-espana/">Here you have a list of the 100 most active VCs in Spain in 2021</a>).</h2>
<p>Their way of operating is very varied, but compared to other types of financing they provide the value of helping, mentoring and guiding their startups. In exchange, you will give up part of your equity.</p>
<h2 id="crowdfunding">Crowdfunding.</h2>
<p>With this modality we will advertise our startup to seek a large number of private investors, each of which will contribute a small amount in exchange for a fee. This can be in the form of shares in your company (with the resulting dilution and reduction of the equity of the founding partners) or in advantages as a future customer of the company, for example, a lower price than the RRP of the products or services of your startup. As it will be complicated to reach this type of &quot;investors&quot;, there are companies such as <a href="https://ufounders.com/es/">Ufounders</a> specialized in raising these rounds.</p>
<h2 id="public-subsidy">Public subsidy.</h2>
<p>In Spain it is frankly difficult to find grants (non-refundable) although it is always advisable to be aware of what may be available, for example in <a href="https://www.acelerapyme.gob.es/">Acelera Pyme</a> or in the Autonomous Regions and City Councils.</p>
<h2 id="public-financing">Public financing.</h2>
<p>Although the conditions are usually quite restrictive, <a href="https://www.enisa.es/">ENISA</a> is an option to obtain a participative loan with good conditions. You will not sacrifice equity with this option as ENISA will simply receive more in loan repayment if your business does well. Portals such as <a href="https://www.fandit.es/">Fandit</a> or people like <a href="https://somosgwspain.com/d">GWSpain</a> can advise and guide you in this world.</p>
<h2 id="private-financing">Private financing.</h2>
<p>Banks are another option to get the loan you need. Although some banks have units specialized in startups (<a href="https://dayonecaixabank.es/sobre-dayone/">DayOne</a> or <a href="https://bstartup.bancsabadell.com/">BStartup</a>) you may end up in your branch negotiating with the Director and they will deny it ..... Or they will grant it against a mortgage guarantee. Not all banks are receptive to a good business plan.</p>
<h2 id="financing-with-mgs-mutual-guarantee-societies">Financing with MGS (Mutual Guarantee Societies).</h2>
<p>In the case of Spain, companies such as <a href="https://www.avalmadrid.es/">Avalmadrid</a> or <a href="https://www.iberaval.es/">Iberaval</a> can facilitate your access to private financing from banks by granting you the guarantee that the latter need. These SGRs will rely on your business plan to judge whether your idea can prosper and whether you will be able to repay the loan. Although this will not free you from putting some kind of guarantee, although less than that required by a bank and, usually, will not go against your assets if you can not repay the principal of the loan.</p>
<h2 id="growth-stage">Growth Stage</h2>
<p>The financing and/or subsidy that you have obtained in the pre-Seed stage will allow you to verify the business hypothesis and start having income. The business model works and starts to generate cash flow. Now an injection of capital is needed to grow the business according to the Business Plan. And this is where investment funds come in. The range of capital needed if your startup reaches this stage will vary greatly depending on the business itself, but we can talk about a range between €500K and €5M.</p>
<p>This first round of investment is known as Series A and what the company is looking for is the necessary investment to grow revenue until it reaches break-even, the revenue generated covers the cost of operation.</p>
<p>The normal thing in this phase is to turn to Venture Capital, which will invest in your company if it is convinced that by increasing sales the company will increase its margins and, therefore, will generate enough profit to recover its increased investment according to the agreed profitability.</p>
<p>The capital contributed by the VC will give him a sufficient shareholding in the company to control its decision-making bodies so that he can ensure that his contribution is used for the agreed purposes. This is usually an investor who will remain in the company for a period of between 5 and 10 years and who will demand the permanence of the startup&#39;s management team.</p>
<p>From this point on, and if the business continues to grow, Series B, Series C and, perhaps, Exit will follow.</p>
<p>Here is the list of <a href="https://spanishstartups.es/blog/venture-capital-espana/">Spanish Startups</a> with some of the Spanish VCs.</p>


How to fund your StartUp

<p>The &quot;radial&quot; hub &amp; spoke system is one of the structures that many companies are adopting to implement hybrid work. The HQ, the central headquarters, is maintained as the traditional main office, with &quot;satellites&quot; that can take the form of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=coworkings&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6865744285946449920">#coworkings</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=espaciosflexibles&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6865744285946449920">#flexibleoffices</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=homeoffice&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6865744285946449920">#homeoffice</a> or other opportunity spaces.</p>
<p>This model also has the advantage of being tremendously scalable, being applicable for companies of any size and any geographic distribution of its workforce. The HQ could well be in a central hub (Madrid, Barcelona), while other work teams can be dispersed throughout the country, using <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=espaciosflexibles&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6865744285946449920">#flexiblespaces</a> instead of long-term leases.</p>
<p>Numerous recent articles delve into the advantages (and disadvantages) of the model, such as the one by Tom Angelucci in <a href="https://www.ringcentral.com/us/en/blog/why-hybrid-hub-and-spoke-offices-may-be-the-norm-post-covid/">RingCentral</a> or the very interesting &quot;<a href="https://allwork.space/2020/11/hybrid-vs-hub-and-spoke-work-models/">Hybrid vs. Hub&amp;Spoke work models</a>&quot; in AllWork.</p>


Hub & Spoke. The new hybrid model.

<p>Creating a business that works is not just a matter of having a great idea. A great idea will fail as a business if you do not pay attention to all aspects of the business and do not proceed with rigor and professionalism. Of course, previous experience and lessons learned from previous failures will help, and a lot. From <a href="https://eekox.com/">eekox</a> we want to encourage those who are undertaking and starting their adventure and that&#39;s why we leave you a small summary of the steps that you should not skip.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-a-startup">What is a startup?</h2>
<p>Before we start, let&#39;s define what a startup is. According to the Chamber of Commerce, &quot;a startup is a new or early-age company that presents great growth potential and commercializes products and services through the use of information and communication technologies. (....) They are businesses that go to market quickly to achieve the necessary growth and funding through digital transformation.&quot;</p>
<h2 id="what-are-the-phases-of-a-startup">What are the phases of a Startup?</h2>
<p>Although another day we will talk about the phases and their associated investment rounds in more detail, it is important to give a brushstroke to know where we are:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pre-Seed</strong>. There is only the idea, it&#39;s time to look for partners (if you don&#39;t have them and you want to have them) and sign a Partner Agreement with them. You will need some funding through the 3F (Family, Friends &amp; Fools).</li>
<li><strong>Seed</strong>. It is time to validate the business and drive. You need to get funding through a participatory loan or a business angel.</li>
<li><strong>Growth Stage</strong>. The business model works and begins to have cash flow. But an injection of capital is needed for the business to grow according to the Business Plan. This is where investment funds come in.</li>
<li><strong>Expand Stage</strong>. The scalability of the business allows the startup to internationalize and attack market segments that are different or complementary to the initial ones. Expansion may be accompanied by alliances with other companies or the entry of private equity.</li>
<li><strong>Exit</strong>. This is the point we all want to reach, whether we execute it or not. It is the time to go public or to sell to another company. Or not.....</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="what-is-your-business">What is your business?</h2>
<p>Startups are usually born from an idea. That idea is usually associated with an unmet need, or an unsolved problem. To go from idea to business, you need to ask yourself who will buy your solution and why. Doesn&#39;t anyone in the market offer an answer? And if someone does, can you improve it? And can you reach your potential customers? How?</p>
<p>Many questions that must be answered in the following steps. Making a Business Model Canvas can help you a lot in this definition. <a href="https://edit.org/es/blog/plantillas-business-canvas-model-online">Here</a> are some examples. And don&#39;t worry if the first time you don&#39;t know what should go where. It is normal. It requires dedication, time and effort but it will help you a lot to define your idea.</p>
<h2 id="is-there-a-market-and-how-does-it-behave">Is there a market and how does it behave?</h2>
<p>Your market is defined by the number of customers you will be able to sell your service or solution to. Find out what is the potential market you have. In this way you will be able to estimate the maximum number of customers you can reach. And based on this figure, estimate how much of that market you can reach and can buy your product.</p>
<p>In addition to this sizing, it is very useful to know the trends. Is it a market with a growing demand? If it is growing, how is it growing? You may be able to find analyses on the Internet that give you this information. The more you can study the better your estimate will be.</p>
<p>All of this requires research and the creation of a business model. You will have to make assumptions, but never cheat to &quot;crunch the numbers&quot;. Remember that Excel holds everything, but business does not.</p>
<h2 id="what-makes-you-different-your-value-proposition">What makes you different? Your value proposition</h2>
<p>The value proposition is what makes you different from others. It is that differential point that will make customers choose you over other competitors. Define it at the beginning of your venture because it will be one of the main factors that will make your idea succeed. Although over time this value proposition will mature and be refined, never lose sight of it.</p>
<p>And if you don&#39;t find that differential value, you&#39;d better change your idea.</p>
<h2 id="your-target-audience">Your target audience</h2>
<p>When you have matured the idea that gave rise to everything and you have been shaping it to generate your value proposition, it is necessary to define who you want to address. Often, as you develop your solution, you will be tempted to open up the range of possibilities available to you and try to cover heterogeneous segments of the public. This is not a good idea. Identify your core solution and target the market segment that needs it. Don&#39;t try to go to several places at once. You won&#39;t reach any of them.</p>
<p>Tools to create a Buyer Persona profile can help you define your segment. <a href="https://www.hubspot.es/make-my-persona">Here</a> is an example.</p>
<h2 id="who-are-you-and-how-do-you-want-to-be-seen">Who are you and how do you want to be seen?</h2>
<p>Create your BRAND, with capital letters. Don&#39;t try to do it alone. Seek expert advice. It will be the best investment you can make at this stage. Developing a brand strategy will allow you to discover and define what your unique essence is and will allow you to align actions, ideas and people in the same direction. If you want to take a look, you can see what <a href="https://themoodproject.com/">The Mood Project</a> does.</p>
<h2 id="create-your-team-the-partners-agreement">Create your team. The Partners Agreement</h2>
<p>You may have already taken this step, partially, at the beginning. You may have started thinking about your startup together with other people who will be your partners. Whether this is the case or you do it at a later stage, be sure to have a Partner Pact. The Partners Pact is a simple document that sets the basic rules for the operation of your startup, the commitments of the partners and the rules that will govern, in general, the future of your venture. Do not be tempted to think that it is not necessary, that you are friends and that you will never stop understanding each other. It may not happen, but it might. Besides, this Pact will protect you when new partners or investors come in.</p>
<p>You can find many examples on the Internet. Simpler or more complex. But their structure will always be similar. In this <a href="https://oeaf.eu/formularios-descargados/RELACIONES_SOCIEDAD-SOCIO/pacto_de_socios_en_una_sociedad_limitada.doc">link</a> you can download a template.</p>
<h2 id="generate-networking">Generate Networking</h2>
<p>It is essential that you network with the ecosystem in which you want to be. Your startup lives surrounded by everything that gives it meaning and it is essential that you relate to that environment, that they know you and that you learn from those who are there. The world of entrepreneurship is a world tremendously rich in experiences and you can contact people who are in your situation or who can help and advise you if they have already been there.</p>
<p>Coworkings are an excellent environment to develop an ecosystem and in them you can find valuable experiences and people that will help you in your adventure. If you don&#39;t know where to start, try <a href="https://eekox.com/">eekox</a> to find the space and environment that will inspire you.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-the-mvp">What is the MVP?</h2>
<p>Your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) will be your first &quot;productive&quot; work. The MVP is a mock-up or a sketch of your solution or service that you will use to verify your business hypothesis. In many cases it will be a portal (maybe only a little more than a Landing Page) or an App with very basic functionality. Get it out there as soon as you can. It is a mistake to delay putting it into production to complete it as much as possible since it is a tool that you will be refining and expanding as you test and verify or discard hypotheses.</p>
<h2 id="validate-the-business-model">Validate the business model.</h2>
<p>This is a critical phase of the business creation process. Up to this step you have been building a framework based on knowledge, ideas and ideas from your own or nearby environments. Now it is about using your MVP to get feedback from neutral customers/users. It&#39;s about verifying if your value proposition is right and your target audience really is.</p>
<p>In this phase you are going to need to be known in the market. It is not about having a massive arrival, but it is about having a neutral sample that allows you to verify to what extent your hypotheses, ideas and assumptions were correct in order to correct them, pivot or discard them. Inbound Marketing techniques can help you reach that audience. <a href="https://www.cyberclick.es/inbound-marketing/tecnicas-de-inbound-marketing">Here </a>you can learn something about them.</p>
<h2 id="investment-needs">Investment needs.</h2>
<p>This whole process will cost you time and money. It will depend on each situation and each business idea, when and how much you will need to finance your birth and growth. But we will talk about this another day......</p>


The 10 steps to launch a Startup

<p>The changes in the world of work resulting from the cataclysm brought about by COVID-19 pose a whole catalog of new challenges for companies.</p>
<p>Professionals and individuals have changed their perception and their scale of values when it comes to deciding what to choose from among the options for their future career. The <a href="https://www.pwc.es/">PWC</a> study on the <a href="https://www.pwc.com/us/en/library/pulse-survey/future-of-work.html">future of work</a> provides very interesting data on the changes that are taking place. The traditional model is bound to coexist with new hybrid models and this is both a cause and a consequence of many other profound cultural changes.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/leadership-and-digitalization-model/company-workforce.jpeg" alt="Chart comparing the different locations of the company workforce"></p>
<p>Only 19% of the 752 companies surveyed contemplate a purely face-to-face model. And this is a challenge because we will have to be able to make the best of both worlds, physical and virtual, in order not to fail. According to the prestigious <a href="https://www.forrester.com/bold">Forrester</a> (<a href="https://www.forrester.com/blogs/predictions-2022/">Predictions 2022: This Is A Year To Be Bold</a>), &quot;... only 10% of companies will switch to a fully remote model, and 30% will return to a fully face-to-face model. The remaining 60% will move to a hybrid model, and a third of those companies will fail in their first attempt to work anywhere.&quot; And this has to do above all with two aspects: the digitization of business and the change in leadership culture.
But let&#39;s take it one step at a time.</p>
<h2 id="the-necessary-digital-transformation">The necessary digital transformation</h2>
<p>Spain is still lagging far behind in these tasks. Despite the progress made in recent years, the Spanish industrial fabric is far from the level of digitalization required to minimize the risk of failure in the transition to hybrid work models. EU funds are a unique opportunity that we hope to take advantage of. But it is true that the historical rigidities of the Spanish administration do not augur well for anything new. The <a href="https://portal.mineco.gob.es/RecursosArticulo/mineco/ministerio/ficheros/210127_plan_digitalizacion_pymes.pdf">Digital Toolkit Program</a> would be an opportunity if it were not for the mechanism of the aid itself. SMEs will only be able to &quot;ask&quot; a Digitizing Agent to do the work for them..... And this greatly restricts the ability of SMEs to meet their real needs. Let this not be another missed opportunity....</p>
<h2 id="the-change-in-the-leadership-model">The change in the leadership model</h2>
<p>Presentialism and control have historically been two scourges of the Spanish workplace. &quot;I&#39;m not leaving until my boss leaves&quot; and &quot;if I don&#39;t control them they don&#39;t do anything, they are lazy&quot; are two maxims that are still very real in this country. Even in May 2020, this <a href="https://www.robertwalters.es/contratacion/hiring-advice/69-directivos-prefiere-modelo-tradicional-trabajo.html">Robert Walters study</a> showed that 69% of managers would like to return to face-to-face work, while 90% of workers would like to have the possibility of teleworking. No comments.</p>
<p>In its report, PWC includes two facts that are significant because they strongly appear in the professionals&#39; answers.</p>
<p>The first is that flexibility appears as one of the reasons for leaving a job, immediately after economic issues.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/leadership-and-digitalization-model/employees-employers-reasons-for-leaving.jpeg" alt="Chart comparing the reasons employees look for a new job vs. the percentage of executives who say this is one of the reasons employees leave"></p>
<p>And the second is that flexibility, both in work planning and in the place to perform it are among the top 4 improvement demands of professionals:</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/leadership-and-digitalization-model/employees-employers-reasons-for-leaving.jpeg" alt="Chart comparing the majority demands of employees vs. conditions offered by employers"></p>
<p>That the future of work is hybrid seems a clear trend. But companies will have to adapt to respond to the flexibility and autonomy demanded by people. To meet this challenge, offering professionals the freedom to choose where they work may be one of the tools that can help improve the competitiveness of Spanish companies and increase talent retention. Especially in emerging IT sectors.</p>

Digitalization and leadership model: the challenges for companies to adopt hybrid models.

<h3 id="a-hybrid-work-model-combining-flexible-spaces-office-and-telecommuting-from-home-offers-many-advantages-that-boost-the-competitiveness-of-companies">A hybrid work model combining flexible spaces, office and telecommuting from home offers many advantages that boost the competitiveness of companies.</h3>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/6-reasons-flex-spaces-improve-competitiveness/flex-spaces-cover-image-2.png" alt="Cover image with people around a table"></p>
<p>The 6 reasons why being able to perform professional activity in flexible workspaces brings many benefits to both companies and their employees can be summarized as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><h4 id="flexibility">Flexibility,</h4>
<p>when it comes to sizing their own spaces and choosing the optimum space for each occasion.</p>
</li>
<li><h4 id="savings-and-cost-control">Savings and cost control,</h4>
<p>due to the reduction of space requirements and exact knowledge of monthly/annual costs.</p>
</li>
<li><h4 id="sustainability-and-reduction-of-the-ecological-footprint">Sustainability and reduction of the ecological footprint,</h4>
<p>improved sustainability by reducing the number and length of trips by working in close proximity.</p>
</li>
<li><h4 id="socialization-team-engagement-and-networking">Socialization, Team Engagement and Networking,</h4>
<p>compared to the Homeoffice, working in flex spaces allows the relationship and exchange of knowledge and experiences with others.</p>
</li>
<li><h4 id="talent-recruitment-and-retention">Talent Recruitment and Retention,</h4>
<p>the possibility of attracting talent anywhere in the world and retaining it is much more affordable and effective than salary bubbles.</p>
</li>
<li><h4 id="employee-satisfaction">Employee satisfaction,</h4>
<p>studies show that 88% of workers consider themselves happier with these models. And happier means more productive.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>However, the effective implementation of this model requires platforms or &quot;brokers&quot; in the flexible space rental market that are able to offer a tool that allows professionals to work in them. Today, there are hundreds of sites that offer their own workspaces for rent in different modalities: flex, fix, office, meeting room, by hours, months or days.</p>
<p>But there is a need for a player that offers the market of freelancers, SMEs and corporations a tool that serves to efficiently manage the day-to-day work of their professionals and allows them to locate the ideal space at the time they will need it.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.eekox.com/">eekox</a> will be that Platform. A project incubated from the user&#39;s point of view, with a team of qualified professionals with extensive professional experience in the business world, and with in house developments oriented to a new lifestyle that is here to stay.</p>
<p>eekox is carrying out a national deployment to bring the new working reality both to the big capitals such as <a href="https://pro.eekox.com/search?latitude=40.4167754&amp;longitude=-3.7037902&amp;street=Madrid">Madrid</a> or <a href="https://pro.eekox.com/search?latitude=41.3873974&amp;longitude=2.168568&amp;street=Barcelona">Barcelona</a></p>
<p>eekox offers a customized subscription model in which employees can select the location and type of space to be used, with the company setting the maximum number of days that can be consumed. This model gives companies not only the flexibility to use hundreds of options, both on-site and during travel, but also allows them to benefit from very competitive prices for managing a significant volume of days.</p>
<p>It is time for Companies and Corporations to decisively address this change in the work paradigm, which is actually a paradigm shift in our way of life.</p>


6 reasons why flex spaces increase productivity

<h2 id="towards-a-hybrid-working-model-in-companies-what-do-studies-and-analyses-say-about-the-future-of-work">Towards a hybrid working model in companies What do studies and analyses say about the future of work?</h2>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/towards-hybrid-working-model-in-enterprises/people-holding-gears-2.jpeg" alt="Three office workers holding gears"></p>
<p>Teleworking, coworking, workout, flexwork, coliving, digital nomads, burnout, hybridization, flexible spaces, homeoffice, bleisure, Total Revenue Management... The pandemic has filled the news with headlines full of anglicisms giving us data, ideas and orientations that something is happening in the world of work.</p>
<p>Overnight, in March 2020, we went from a basically face-to-face model (which we had never seriously questioned), to a completely remote model and, moreover, at home. Without time to think about it, better or worse, companies and professionals adapted their methods and spaces to be able to continue producing.</p>
<p>The passing of the months began to reveal things, many things. Some of them very good. Others, not so good. And the decline of the COVID, God willing it will not return with the same virulence triggered by new strains, brings us back to a sort of normality to which we arrived transformed. Among many other things, we ask ourselves whether purely face-to-face work is the best model once our lifestyle has changed, and in what way, after the pandemic.</p>
<p>The process of digitization of Society as a consequence of this short but intense period since March 2020, has opened a debate on how to adapt work to this new lifestyle where most of the work can be done remotely. What is going to be the right model from now on.</p>
<h2 id="companies-are-betting-on-hybrid-models-flexible-offices-and-proximity-spaces">Companies are betting on hybrid models. Flexible offices and proximity spaces.</h2>
<p>It might be a good idea to review the data and surveys conducted during the pandemic.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.savills-aguirrenewman.es/publicaciones/noticias/318887/el-87--de-los-trabajadores-en-europa-cree-que-la-oficina-es-esencial--segun-el-estudio-office-fit-de-savills">Savills Aguirre Newman</a> published last September the results of a survey of 100,000 people. And that survey shows some surprising results:</p>
<p><strong>87% of employees</strong> in Europe believe <strong>the office is essential</strong>,
12% say they would work in flex or coworking spaces, up from just 3% in 2019.
Twenty-seven percent of respondents answered that they would use an <strong>office close to home</strong> in addition to their own if they had the option.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-01/return-to-office-employees-are-quitting-instead-of-giving-up-work-from-home">Bloomberg</a> estimates that 39% of workers would quit their current job if they were forced to return to their usual job permanently....</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pwc.com/us/en/library/pulse-survey/future-of-work.html">PwC</a> and <a href="https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2021/09/17/economia/1631892143_050932.html">KPMG</a> indicate that only 19% of companies will return to the purely face-to-face model, and that 38% of Spanish CEOs assume a hybrid model with more than 2 days of remote work.</p>
<p>The data seems to indicate that the future points to the workplace being linked to the professional and not the other way around. Sometimes we will go to the office and sometimes we will stay at home working. But it is clear that these will not be the only options. Flexible spaces will have more and more weight and presence.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.us.jll.com/content/dam/jll-com/documents/pdf/articles/covid-19-and-flexible-space-report.pdf">JLL</a> ventures to predict that in 2030 30% of jobs will be of this type.</p>
<p>In Spain, recent studies such as the one carried out by <a href="https://www.randstadresearch.es/informe-teletrabajo-en-espana-2021/">Randstad Reserarch</a>, indicate that the volume of potential teleworkers is much higher than the supply of flexible workspaces for rent. According to the <a href="https://www.bde.es/f/webbde/SES/Secciones/Publicaciones/InformesBoletinesRevistas/ArticulosAnaliticos/20/T2/descargar/Fich/be2002-art13.pdf">BdE</a>, more than 6M Spanish professionals could do so which represents an increase of x3.7 with respect to the number of professionals who did so in 2019.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/towards-hybrid-working-model-in-enterprises/remote-working-chart.jpeg" alt="Graph showing the increase in the percentage of people teleworking in 2010, 2019 and 2020 (Spain and European Union)"></p>
<p>These data clearly indicate the potential of this sector because, although part of this huge volume of working days will be produced as home-office, the vast majority will be developed in spaces better equipped than the private home.</p>
<p>For this reason, <a href="https://www.eekox.com">eekox</a> provides companies and professionals with a powerful and easy-to-use platform that allows them to locate and rent the optimal flexible space for each activity.</p>

Towards a hybrid model of work in companies

<h3 id="there-are-many-reasons-to-work-in-flexible-spaces-but-the-coworking-community-chooses-it-for-flexibility-cost-reduction-productivity-networking-and-creativity">There are many reasons to work in flexible spaces, but the coworking community chooses it for flexibility, cost reduction, productivity, networking and creativity.</h3>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/5-reasons-to-work-in-coworking/increment-coworking-chart.jpeg" alt="Graph of increase in number of people working in coworking spaces 2010-2020"></p>
<p>5 Reasons to work in coworking spaces. While there are many more, these are the 5 that coworkers mention most often:</p>
<h2 id="flexibility">Flexibility</h2>
<p>Unlike having your own office, the option of using a platform such as eekox.com allows the professional not to make long-term commitments or be tied to a specific location. eekox offers membership agreements that give the professional maximum flexibility to choose where to go each day. And if a location is not to their liking, they have many other nearby options.</p>
<h2 id="cost-reduction">Cost reduction</h2>
<p>Having an office is very expensive (especially if it&#39;s in a premium area). And it&#39;s not just the cost of the space, but everything related to fitting it out. Expenses in furniture, communications, infrastructure, vending for employees and many more. Coworking spaces are already equipped with everything necessary. In addition, there is no need to worry about things like cleaning or toilet paper. Nor do you have to worry about the reception or the availability of event rooms. This cost reduction can be the difference between your company succeeding or falling by the wayside.</p>
<h2 id="productivity">Productivity</h2>
<p>Compared to telecommuting at home, a coworking space offers an environment free from the distractions of home. By developing your activity in an optimally conditioned workspace, surrounded by other coworkers, you are integrated into a professional atmosphere and productivity soars. In addition, many coworking spaces are available 24 hours a day.</p>
<h2 id="networking">Networking</h2>
<p>Working in a coworking environment gives you the possibility to get closer to other professionals with the same profile and the same way of seeing life and work. This facilitates the establishment of contacts, connections and important and necessary collaborations to boost your business. The proximity of other entrepreneurs and their contributions may be what your startup needs. According to <a href="https://comparecamp.com/coworking-statistics/">comparecamp.com</a> a coworker, every day, interacts with 1 to 4 members of the flex space where he/she works.</p>
<h2 id="creativity">Creativity</h2>
<p>The continuous contact with other professionals who share the same interests, exposes you to new perspectives that enhance creativity. Changing your environment, meeting other people and ideas, brings a freshness to your business that is impossible to have in your own office. Nearly 90% of coworkers say they feel happier working in a coworking space and more than half (55%) feel like members of a community.</p>

5 reasons to work in a coworking

<p>A sustainable working model based on flexible coworking spaces is possible if the use of coworking spaces really grows strongly. A panel of experts convened by Coworking Europe in January 2021 reflected on the roadmap for coworking and flexible spaces to move from their current share of 2% to a projected 30% by 2030.</p>
<p>But beyond business strategies, it is important to reflect on the impact of this movement. Because it will allow us to move towards a more sustainable, more efficient and more competitive environment.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the EU&#39;s commitment to reducing the carbon footprint concerns us all. At eekox we firmly believe that we must look for more sustainable ways of doing things. At eekox we have analyzed what this growth in the use of flexible spaces means in terms of sustainability, efficiency and competitiveness. We have used Madrid as an example of the beneficial impact it would have on the city and its professionals.</p>
<p>We tell you about it below:</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/sustainable-model-base-in-coworkings/coworking-1.png" alt="Reduce your ecological footprint"></p>
<h2 id="sustainability">Sustainability</h2>
<p>In Madrid there are 15.8M daily commutes, of which 2.65M are for work reasons. Do you know that if we had a teleworking rate of 10% we would be avoiding the emission of 157,653 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere? It is as if 12,612 homes in Madrid did not emit a single gram of greenhouse gases. If we were to reach the 30% predicted we would be talking about 37,837 homes and 472,959 tons of CO2 less in the atmosphere. Impressive.</p>
<p>It is time to change habits</p>
<p>Sources: European Environment Agency, ECH 2020 - Encuesta Continua de Hogares - INE, EDM2018 EDM2018 Encuesta Domiciliaría de Movilidad 2018, Comunidad de Madrid.</p>
<h2 id="productivity">Productivity</h2>
<p>Perhaps the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is the most important parameter. But not the only one. Do you know that in Madrid 2.65M daily commutes are made for work purposes, with an average of 29 minutes per trip? These trips total an equivalent of 37,646,826 working days (of 8 hours) per year.</p>
<p>Do you know that if we had a teleworking rate of 10% we would not be wasting 2,484,624 working days per year in Madrid alone. It is the equivalent of throwing away the work of 1,380 professionals, or its equivalent in money, about 55M€.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/sustainable-model-base-in-coworkings/coworking-2.png" alt="Coworking and competitiveness"></p>
<p>Following the previous example, if 30% of the work is done in flexible spaces of proximity, we would be making profitable 7,453,873 days, or what is the same, improving the productivity of the economy of the CAM in about 164M€.</p>
<p>A sustainable work model based on flexible coworking spaces is possible.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.eekox.com">eekox</a> is the platform that offers you a flexible space where you can develop your activity while contributing to environmental sustainability, reducing your carbon footprint.</p>
<p>It&#39;s time to join the new work model!</p>


A sustainable working model based on flexible coworking spaces

<p>The COVID impact on mobility has led the Autonomous Communities to approve aid for teleworking. For this reason, most of the Autonomous Communities have endowed budget items, already available, to support teleworking for freelancers and SMEs. Here are some examples of the types and amounts of aid and links to the pages where you can check the details.</p>
<h2 id="madrid">Madrid</h2>
<p>The <strong>Comunidad de Madrid</strong> has approved the new &quot;<a href="https://gestionesytramites.madrid.org/cs/Satellite?cid=1354741620797&amp;c=CM_ConvocaPrestac_FA&amp;noMostrarML=true&amp;pageid=1142687560411&amp;pagename=ServiciosAE%2FCM_ConvocaPrestac_FA%2FPSAE_fichaConvocaPrestac&amp;vest=1142687560411">Subsidies for the promotion of CSR and work-life balance</a>&quot;. The second of these encourages teleworking and flexible working hours. It is mainly oriented to the acquisition of the necessary means to be able to telework. The amount of the subsidy is <strong>2.500€ per worker</strong> with a maximum limit of 10.000€ per company and 75% of the cost of the electronic equipment to be acquired.</p>
<h2 id="extremadura">Extremadura</h2>
<p>Also <a href="https://extremaduraempresarial.juntaex.es/subvenciones?idContenido=12204901">Junta de Extremadura</a> offers grants to SMEs and self-employed for the promotion of teleworking with a limit of €6,000. These aids are granted under the heading &quot;Aids for the implementation of teleworking solutions and digital entrepreneurship in companies in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura&quot;.</p>
<h2 id="andalucía">Andalucía</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://www.upta-andalucia.org/ayudas-de-la-junta-de-andalucia-para-implantacion-de-teletrabajo-en-las-empresas-andaluzas-para-poder-seguir-manteniendo-su-actividad-durante-el-estado-de-alarma/">Junta de Andalucía</a> grants direct, non-refundable subsidies for the implementation of teleworking <strong>ranging from 35% of the eligible investment up to 50%, with a maximum of 75,000 euros</strong>.</p>
<h2 id="castilla-la-mancha">Castilla La Mancha</h2>
<p>In the case of the <a href="https://www.jccm.es/tramitesygestiones/concesion-directa-de-subvenciones-dirigidas-personas-trabajadoras-autonomas-y-0">Junta de Castilla La Mancha</a>, the deadline has been opened until September 30, for the application of this type of aid. The amount of the subsidy is set at <strong>700 euros</strong> for each transformation of face-to-face jobs into teleworking jobs and <strong>3,000 euros</strong> for each <strong>new hiring</strong> of a teleworking job.</p>
<p>These are some of the aids that have been approved by the Autonomous Regions to promote teleworking, but by no means the only ones. And they are already open and can be applied for.</p>
<p>What are you waiting for to get your employees to telework?</p>
