IWG prepares to expand with 1,000 new locations in 2024

IWG, a world provider of hybrid work solutions, aims to open 1,000 new locations globally amid significant growth in demand from companies and employees seeking hybrid work spaces.

During 2023, IWG nearly doubled the number of newly added spaces compared to the previous year, expanding the network with 867 new locations. In Romania, the company inaugurated an ultra-modern flexible workspace in City Gate Bucharest, amid increased demand for hybrid work solutions.

The iconic Regus City Gate, in the 2nd district of Bucharest, is providing the workforce of Romania with another upscale workplace. Located on the third floor of the gate’s South Tower, the modern flexible workspace is a prime new location in the capital – just a 3-minute walk from bus and tram stops, as well as the Herastrau Park area, with a high number of commuters coming from small cities and towns across the country.

The workspace – powered sustainably by renewable energy – offers 30 private offices, two dynamic meeting rooms, and ample co-working spaces, including large parking spaces, fast chargers for electrical cars, and bike and motorcycle storage.

Hybrid work remains at the top of employee wishlist

A recent IWG survey of CEOs shows that more than 75% of them expect to still be operating in a hybrid model five years from now. This is also confirmed by new research from Stanford University and other leading institutions, which indicates that hybrid work is a phenomenon that will continue for years to come. Another IWG survey also found that 88% of employees consider hybrid work to be the top benefit they would expect in a new role.

Ramona Predescu (Iacob), IWG Country Manager for Romania & Bulgaria commented, “Romania is a fast-growing, dynamic market and we’re seeing high demand for hybrid working solutions amongst businesses of all sizes. As a result, we are very pleased to provide our cutting-edge and professional workspaces, such as Regus Bucharest City Gate, to the working community of Romania.”
