OSiT put our Menopause Guidance Policy in place in 2022 but it is scary how many businesses haven’t taken menopause into consideration. Especially when (as highlighted in a recent Property Week article) you consider “menopausal or peri-menopausal women are the fastest growing segment of the workforce”. It’s important that everyone in a company understands how this period of a woman’s life can impact them.
Europe was likely to be the area with the highest growth and expansion will be focussed on private offices and meeting rooms. This is largely driven by an increase in use of these facilities over the last year (36% and 52% respectively), which is expected to continue over the next couple of years.
We have five luxury serviced bedrooms at our Monument business centre exclusively available to our clients (and their guests) throughout the week and at weekends too. For all intents and purposes, they are OSiT hotel rooms in the centre of London, but with added convenience.
We previously highlighted how pre-boarding aka attracting the right person for a role starts before you’ve even met them can help to minimise staff turnover. Unsurprisingly the process of employee onboarding is also critical.
Breathing is a physiological process – it affects the body, but the body and the mind are linked. When you’re feeling anxious, you take short, rapid and shallow breaths, which are often irregular. In contrast, your breaths are deep, slow and regular when you’re relaxed. Scientific studies have found if you consciously use the breathing patterns linked to certain emotions, you will begin to feel the corresponding emotion. So, if you can control your breath, you can also control your feelings.
OSiT might be best known in town for our flexible office space, after all we’ve got a host of different work space options to suit you: Cardiff serviced offices – tick, meeting rooms – tick, co-working space – tick, virtual offices – tick. However, we’re very aware that a good workplace is more than four walls.
We may be best known for our serviced offices in London but did you know we also have regional centres offering workspace for rent in Cardiff and Edinburgh.
Tech-savvy Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2015, are now entering the workplace … and if businesses are going to attract the best young talent they need to make sure their offices appeal
Businesses are keen to maximise employee retention, in order to minimise the disruption of losing an experienced team and having to replace them, not to mention the time it can take to train someone new and for them to get fully up to speed.
Are you looking for a friendly local pub to enjoy a pint or two with colleagues at the end of the week, a fun bar for drinks with the girls, a restaurant where you’re guaranteed a good meal or somewhere a bit different to take someone special who you want to impress?
Humans are not designed to sit for long periods of time. Unsurprisingly, spending upwards of seven hours at a desk, five days a week, takes its toll on our bodies. We need to move.
There’s been a definite shift towards a return to the office recently. Several high profile companies have been in the press this year, as they start to change the working from home practices that started during the pandemic and call their employees back to the office - whether full time or on a more flexible or hybrid working basis.
When OSiT was first formed in 2009, it’s fair to say we completely disrupted the flexible office market. Managing the top three floors of Euston Tower we set out to provide our clients with a cutting edge experience, unlike any other serviced office on offer.
At OSiT we have a strong purpose to be a fair and responsible company, focussing on improving the lives of our people, protecting the planet and contributing to our community.
Back in 2021 OSiT’s Chairman, Giles Fuchs, stated in no uncertain terms the flexible office workspace industry was going to be an area of continued growth and renewal post-pandemic, attracting attention from more and more traditional commercial real estate (CRE) landlords, looking to diversify their portfolios after the months of uncertainty which Covid-19 ushered in.

When we learned the ground floor and lower ground floor of our New Broad Street office were to become free due to the existing tenant moving out, we knew it was an opportunity not to be missed.
How do YOU define wellness? It might be different for all of us, but at OSiT we like to think that it doesn’t only encompass selfcare, but also care of our community and our environment too.

In an era where work dynamics have transcended the traditional office space, prioritising the welfare of our workforce is imperative. Employers are increasingly acknowledging that employee well-being is not just a desirable aspect but an essential foundation for a thriving and sustainable business environment. However, this heightened awareness doesn’t always translate into tangible results felt by employees.
As Cardiff’s workforce returned to their masses, the office market recorded a year-over-year increase of more than 80% in 2022, its best take-up since 2018.[1]
But if the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that situations can change drastically overnight. Covid-19 may be behind us, but there are many challenges ahead and businesses must take steps to protect against future disruption. The solution lies in flexible workspaces — a growing trend that Cardiff has been quick to embrace.
While workspaces are changing, this fluctuation by no means signals a decline in the London office sector; quite the opposite, when we consider the recent flurry of refurbs across the capital.
In a recent exclusive interview with Growth Business, Office Space in Town CEO Giles Fuchs explains how the company keeps itself ahead of its competitors.
Easy Offices have compiled their 'Top 10 Serviced Offices in London', and we are absolutely delighted that we are not only featured once, not twice, but three times within that!
Check out our centres Liverpool St, Waterloo and Monument on the blog here!
In this latest article, Giles Fuchs, CEO of Office Space in Town, discusses how the future of office space is service not simply about square footage. This article was first published by Global Banking and Finance.
