The workspace of the 21^st century is constantly evolving. With a new generation of workers eschewing traditional working models for flexibility and independence, they now demand a workplace not just for productivity, but for improving their wellness and community too.

WATG’s report Working Nine to Thrive examines the complexity of this contemporary issue, crucially addressing the way the hospitality industry has come to influence the services provided in corporate environments, with emerging synergies between the two. This white paper delves into the growth of co-working as a productive alternative to traditional freelancing, investigating what kind of spaces this trend creates and why they have become so successful.

In this paper, WATG examines how office design has been influenced by the hospitality industry and how the evolution of the work environment is now driving hotels to innovate. Recent times have seen a range of interesting hybrid models emerge, several of which are referenced in this paper.

Highlights include:

• Overview of the sector
• Co-working spaces
• Workspace wellness
• Freelancers and the SME generation
• Workplace vs Hotels
