The Covid that broke into our lives at the end of 2019, modifying all the dynamics of human nature, from daily life, education, food, sports, politics and the economy, to the way we work.

In the case of Latin America, flexible memberships of entrepreneurs, freelancers and freelancers practically plummeted to almost zero in the coworking market.

However, this region, characterized by being a great laboratory of ideas has been nurtured by various models, which have sought to stimulate demand, with new concepts, which we will now review.

Skeleton staffing, where companies implemented three days of office and two of teleworking, two shifts (morning and afternoon) and staff rotations per weeks.

City as a campus where companies that revalidate their headquarters locations, while creating a distributed workforce to reduce travel, preserving connection and organizational culture.

Hub and spoke, part of the existence of a main headquarters and manages satellite offices at different points. Various real estate consultants consider that this trend will continue.

The assignment of spaces allowed firms with Wework to face the crisis by terminating the rental contracts in some of their properties. They argued that Covid-19 raised questions about the long-term viability of some businesses, affecting the flexible space model.

Hotels with coworking, where firms such as Recoleta Grand Hotel in Argentina took advantage of the hotel closed due to the crisis and built office spaces to offer guests and / or rent for companies and entrepreneurs.

Mergers with large brands, such as the Cushman & Wakefield strategy and WeWork, where the former seeks to leverage hybrid workspace strategies with WeWork's proprietary platform of occupant experience and workplace experience management software with 

Cushman & Wakefield's industry leading facility and asset management services.

Incubator of ideas that allows firms like Wework to generate experiences such as the creation and administration of attractive and functional flexible spaces, with convenient services to support a committed workforce, with access to technology, with cutting-edge data and information in support of the experience of tenants.

Coliving where adaptation is the key to resilience, where living and working can be done through the same space, a modality that satisfies digital nomads.

Other multiples ideas are born in the hotel industry and combine all the unimaginable services such as naps and sports, areas equipped as TV studios, seeking to facilitate the comfort and connectivity that the public now demands.

All modalities seek to integrate staff and maintain efficiency in company processes, where there is a high number of flexible space concepts in decentralized areas to meet the demand of the recent flight-to-flex phenomenon (migration to flexible spaces) through so-called satellite offices.

The pandemic consolidated the new urban geographies, the possibility of digitization to live and work differently, as well as the activation of interfaces that allow the interrelation between neighborhoods and cities: all this to be capitalized towards the construction of a higher quality of life and better sustainable cities over time.

Overnight we become digital nomads, those professionals who use new technologies to work and who carry out a nomadic lifestyle; Headquarters are not going to die, there the company culture is forged, there the employees cross in the corridors and they will seek to chat, even with masks.
