COVID-19 has significantly impacted the global economy and workplace operations at large. As we contemplate the transition out of the mandated work-from-home environment, in the immediate near term employers may see value to implement a range of “hub and spoke” approaches rather than returning everyone to a traditional centralized office.

If the level of productivity remains effective  while working remotely (this could certainly vary among industry sectors, teams and individuals), the need to go into an HQ five days a week may not be as critical. The commute for some employees may be challenging and/or working from home is difficult or unproductive, resulting in some companies exploring a distributed office network model in greater detail than ever before. A flexible workspace with a suburban presence provides the perfect solution to achieve this dual hub approach. Below is Workthere’s pick of 10 great suburban flexible office locations in Los Angeles, California:
