B. Listening - The Co-working Conversation with Laura Beales

Broadsword is a remote agency, with team members based from home often booking hot desks, and meeting rooms to work together or find a change in scenery. This is perfect for event planning that takes us to venues across the world, so we wanted to explore if its the way forward for work-life balance:

The rise of remote working started with the global pandemic and since then 81% of the workforce say they never want to return to work five days a week in the office, with three-quarters of London’s workers saying they’d rather quit their jobs than give up their right to work remotely.

Tally Workspace is a place to book co-working spaces and flexible offices across the globe. The mission is to meet the needs of your team, wether remote, hybrid or office-based. You can find one of Laura’s favourite workspaces, mentioned in the episode, here.

In this episode, Laura shares what people are looking for from a workspace and how to create a healthy and productive environment along with her insight trends such as a a four day work week. We also discuss her journey and advice for entrepreneurial event profs.
