Millennials Want Coworker Engagement

SOUTHFIELD, MI—The face of the 9-5 office is changing. No longer are office buildings tightly packed with floor to ceiling cubicles, heavy filing cabinets and blinking florescent lights. Modern employees can check e-mail on their phone and take a conference call from their car. With more and more businesses being mobile and going global—working individually, from conferences and trade shows, from across the state, country, and even world—there is a growing need for flexible office spaces that can accommodate a changing and always connected workforce.

Add to that the knowledge that 50% of all Americans work for a company with less than 500 employees, and that venture capitalists invested nearly $30 billion in startups last year alone. These new, emerging business leaders are rejecting the old paradigm and looking for a cost effective solution that allows them the flexibility to grow at their own speed, the security of a professional business space, and the benefit of a downtown address.
