The home office was a temporary solution that companies had to implement to face the pandemic, but currently many companies today are looking for a more formal hybrid scheme and see in the rent of workspaces by the hour or by day that are close to the places of residence of your collaborators, a good option.

Some companies have found that their workers were happy with the home office, but were becoming less efficient and unproductive due to all the distractions at home.

Kokatu, a workspace search and reservation platform, points out that we are seeing an evolution of hybrid work, where freedom and flexibility will continue to be two key factors.

This platform has a solution for companies, which rents spaces either by the hour or by the day, in which companies can manage the budget and reservations per day for their workers.

This option has been well received, considering that with the reform of the Federal Labor Law that regulates telework, in which there are a series of obligations for the employer such as providing furniture, paying a part of electricity and internet consumption, with the rent of these spaces facilitates this compliance and to this it is added that it is tax deductible.

In addition, flexibility is not lost for employees, who are given a place with the necessary conditions and who may be close to where they live, which is one of the reasons why they would not return to the office: distance.

The offer for remote work within the platform is not limited only to offices and meeting rooms, there are 19 different categories of spaces that also include: offices, terraces, gardens, movie theaters, kitchens, locations, Gesell cameras, coworking , theaters, multipurpose spaces, art galleries, rehearsal rooms, sports spaces and photographic studios.

To date, Kokatu has 2,300 spaces, but he knows that there is still great potential for this more formal hybrid scheme, he hopes that by the end of 2021, this offer will grow to 3,000 locations, and within five years he estimates it will reach 30,000 Bookings.

The home office initially created advantages but for many people, once this modality spread, the disadvantages began to appear from the infrastructure issue, the lack of internet, and the distractions that we face altering the balance of personal life. .

In addition to flexibility and mobility, a long-term rental commitment is set aside, and although this short-term workspace rental solution is being well adopted by businesses, it can also be used by independent individuals.

The use of Kokatu allows users to access its website or from its APP to search by city, area and type of space, right there the price per hour is shown, there are some that go from 80 pesos, this depends on the characteristics of the place and as a marketplace, in the end the bank details are requested for payment.

The most requested spaces are private offices, boardrooms and doctor's offices, mainly in Mexico City, Toluca, Monterrey, Querétaro, Guadalajara, Puebla and Playa del Carmen.

On the platform, any property owner can offer their spaces, for this they are not charged, only when there is a reservation they are charged a percentage, so the partners can monetize those spaces that are unused, “we are in that economy model collaborative ”, highlights Savariego the CEO and Kokatu.
