Involvement space – the new role of a workplace.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

What is a workplace?<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>

You can ask a 5-year old to tell you what a workplace is, and he\/she will tell you, quite obviously, it is the place where you do your work<\/b>, as opposed to the place where you do activities you do for yourself.<\/p>

This was accurate a few decades ago, but we came far from the Victorian era. With the birth of concepts like \u201cfreelancer\u201d and \u201cremote work\u201d, a coffee shop or your own bed become legitimate workplaces.<\/p>

Since globalization and information technology provide the perfect context for flexibility, what happens to the classical concept of a workplace?<\/p>

Involvement space<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>

Transformation fills the void. At the dawn of new work concepts appearing studies show that the human need to gather is even more important. In an interconnected society, feeling alone is becoming the biggest fear to which the remote workers are the most vulnerable.
We need to gather<\/b>, and we need a purpose<\/b>.
This is how the concept of involvement spaces<\/b> is born.<\/p>

It is relatively new and is born a hybrid out of the classical objective and the newfound need for meaning <\/b>and purpose of the workers.<\/p>

With the coming of age of millennials, for whom the number one motivation is not pecuniary gains, the major connecting force is community and involvement.<\/p>

Companies that recognize and act on this are the only ones who can benefit from the energy and full potential of the \u201cnew worker\u201d.
An involvement space is a workspace with a focus on its impact on the community beyond CSR campaigns.<\/p>

How do you recognize such a workspace?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>
