With the growing demand for hybrid work, spaces that facilitate this work model are increasingly in demand. In response to this reality, and to meet the demand in the Uberlândia region—a city responsible for 51% of the GDP of the state of Minas Gerais—Regus is opening its first unit, including coworking spaces and meeting rooms at Center Shopping Uberlândia.

With positive economic growth in Minas Gerais, Uberlândia is becoming increasingly attractive to investors. The reduction in the Selic rate since last year and the migration of agricultural and industrial sectors to other regions of the country have boosted the maturation of the state's main source of income and employment: the service sector. 

In response to the growing market demand for workspaces and the adoption of hybrid models in the region, IWG – a global and national leader in flexible workspaces such as coworking spaces and offices – is opening its first unit in the city, the only one outside of capital cities and the greater São Paulo area. This new venture is a partnership with EPS Empreendimentos, part of the Arcom Wholesale Group, and the Center Shopping Corporate Complex. The Regus unit ushers in a new era of possibilities for professionals in Uberlândia and the surrounding region.

Located in the Center Office, on the L6 floor of Center Shopping, the opening of the recent unit comes shortly after the company recorded record revenue in its 35-year history, adding 867 units and totaling £4.27 billion (US$5.42 billion) throughout 2023, an increase of £101 in its turnover compared to the previous year. 

With IWG, partners are able to capitalize on a rapidly growing sector while being supported by international business expertise, with access to support, adaptation, and sales and marketing resources.

Business is booming in the Uberlândia region.

According to Tiago Alves, CEO of IWG Brazil, the demand for new workspaces in the Uberlândia region has been strong. With the opening of this new unit and IWG's global expansion plan, the company adds the city to its network of offices, which has more than 4,000 locations in over 120 countries. 

According to the executive, the need for these locations continues to increase as hybrid work becomes a preferred option for numerous workers who have already adapted to the model, guaranteeing benefits for both employees and companies. "Working close to home allows for a better work-life balance, avoiding long commutes," he emphasizes. "Furthermore, cost savings for companies are a crucial factor in the decision, which, according to estimates from a Regus survey, can reach US$$11 per employee per year," the executive explains. 

 

Other advantages of flexible workspaces

A flexible workspace is a workplace designed to allow employees a variety of locations and ways to work. In this format, unlike traditional spaces, employees can choose the area of the office that best suits their needs at any given time.

Providing flexible workspaces, such as those offered by Regus, in addition to reducing costs and providing convenience for the worker, also brings other advantages, such as: 

• Increased productivity: A flexible workspace will allow employees to choose the best place to perform a task and ensure greater productivity. This could mean, for example, working on a laptop in a private office to concentrate, or using meeting rooms and creative spaces to exchange ideas with other teammates.
• More adaptable office layouts: Dynamic spaces will allow the company to easily adapt to expansion or reduction in size, according to the number of workers who will be in the office.
