After a rejuvenating summer break, the time has come to say goodbye to remote work setups and embrace the return to the office and hybrid working.

Whether you’re heading to our flexible office space in Chiswick Park or settling back into coworking space at White City, West London, transitioning back to the workplace may require some coordination.

The hybrid landscape has changed, find out more about how we think it will continue in 2023.

Return to the office in 2023

Recent data shows that while some companies are pushing for in-office mandates, the majority are embracing the concept of hybrid work policies.
The shift towards remote work has proven successful for many organisations, and we suspect this trend is likely to continue in 2023.

The advantages of a hybrid workplace policy are evident. Employees enjoy increased flexibility, better work-life balance, and the freedom to work from convenient locations.

Studies have shown that remote and hybrid work can boost overall well-being and increase productivity by up to 6%.

However, as we embrace this new way of working, challenges must be addressed. Collaboration and communication between remote and in-office employees are crucial for maintaining productivity and employee satisfaction.

Providing clear expectations and regular one-on-one sessions can foster a harmonious work environment.

The hybrid work approach also offers cost savings for companies. Reduced office space translates to lower overhead costs, a positive financial impact that Elon Musk and Twitter have experienced firsthand.

Coworking offers a solution as it is flexible, and a new way of working for many companies.

By continuously evaluating and adapting their policies, companies can navigate the challenges of the hybrid workplace successfully.

As we venture into this new era of work, embracing change and being open to innovation will be key to a thriving and productive workforce.

Return to the office Tips

Whether you’re working hybrid or you’re working from a coworking space/office, these are our tips to make a smooth transition and a productive comeback.

Organise Your Workspace

As you step back into the office, start by organising your workspace. Clear any clutter, sort out documents, and set up your essentials to create an environment that promotes productivity and concentration.

A clean and organised workspace sets the stage for a productive comeback.

Prioritise Tasks and Set Goals

Getting back into the flow of work can be overwhelming, so start by prioritising your tasks and setting achievable goals.

Create a to-do list and break down larger projects into smaller, manageable steps.

This approach will help you stay focused and motivated, especially if you’re co-working in West London, surrounded by other driven professionals.

Reconnect with Other Professionals

Take the opportunity to reconnect with other professionals and build a sense of bond.

Whether it’s catching up over a coffee in the office kitchen or collaborating in the shared spaces of our flexible office space, fostering strong relationships with other members of the workspace enhances collaboration and team spirit.

Manage Work-Life Balance

Returning to the office may require adjustments to your work-life balance. As you settle back into the routine, be mindful of maintaining a healthy balance between work commitments and personal well-being.

Take advantage of the amenities available in our co-working space, such as relaxation areas – Chiswick Park is the perfect spot to rewind and relax – or a personalised cup of coffee to fuel up for a productive day.

Returning to Coworking (Chiswick Park and White City)

As the summer season draws to a close, the return to the office presents an opportunity for a fresh start and renewed enthusiasm.

Whether you’re entering our flexible office space in Chiswick park or our co-working space in White City, West London, these tips will help you smoothly transition back to the workplace with a positive mindset.

Organise your workspace, reconnect with other members and manage your work-life balance to make the most of your workdays and achieve new levels of productivity and success.

Having a business address in London, without paying an enormous amount of rent sounds like a dream, right? A Virtual Office in London is a cost-efficient and effective option when you, or your team, is working remotely or when you want to be registered in the British capital.

There are plenty of reasons to love London – the history, the culture and don’t forget, the food. London is a great hub of all sorts of businesses. It is a place where many businesses want to be established.

With (renting) prices going up in the capital, you can easily pay thousands of pounds to have an office in London. A virtual office can be a great outcome, as it gives you many additional benefits and it is just a fraction of the price you are paying when renting an office space.

What is a virtual office?

Not having an actual office, but having a registered office might come across as a little unclear. That is why we are explaining a bit more about what it includes in this article.

A virtual office is an office that exists in cyberspace. It is usually used by businesses or individuals who work from home, online, or from remote locations. As we have seen a huge increase in working from home since the pandemic, there is more interest in virtual offices.

A virtual office can be a great way to make your business appear more professional and established, without the need for a physical office space.

At Venture X UK we offer virtual offices, which include:

· Access to a prestigious business address in London
· Mail forwarding and parcel handling services
· Telephone redirection and answering services
· Meeting room access and access to other on-demand amenities
· Access to our events program and Member Community

The benefits of having a virtual office in London

More and more companies are deciding to work remotely and there has been an uprising in digital nomads, traveling the world while working in coffee shops and hotels.

Times have changed, which means businesses change too. A traditional office set up is not gone either, it is just that we are seeing more and more flexible options and solutions.

As a business owner, it is important to build a trustworthy brand. A virtual office in London can provide your business a prestigious address in one of the world’s most iconic cities.

These are some of the benefits to having a virtual office in London:

Prestige: Having a virtual office in London instantly gives your business a boost in prestige and credibility. Venture X is located in beautiful locations in West London – Chiswick and White City.

Not that we are bragging about how great these locations are (ok.. maybe a little bit), but we are sure potential clients and partners will be impressed by your Venture X London address. With a virtual address in London you are part of the global business hub.

Flexibility: With a virtual office, you’re not tied down to a single location. You can work from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection. This is ideal for businesses that need to be agile and responsive to change.

Cost-effective: Traditional office space in London is known to be expensive. A virtual office can save you money on rent, utilities, and other overhead costs. You won’t need to maintain a physical office space,so you can invest those savings back into your business.

Can I use a virtual address for HMRC?

If you’re thinking about using a virtual office as your registered office for your company, you may be wondering if it’s possible to do so with HMRC. Fortunately, the answer is yes, it is possible to use a virtual address for HMRC correspondence.

There are a few things to keep in mind if you’re going to use a virtual address for HMRC correspondence. First, you’ll need to make sure that your virtual office is able to receive mail on your behalf. Second, you’ll need to provide HMRC with the correct address for your virtual office. And third, you may need to provide HMRC with additional information about your company’s registered office if they request it. You’ll also need to provide us with as much information as we require to run appropriate background checks on you and your business.

Overall, using a virtual office as your registered office for your company is a perfectly acceptable option with HMRC. Just be sure to keep the above things in mind and you’ll be all set!
