Office workers will now be able to use their local Tesco to work from as the supermarket group launches a new partnership with IWG.
Tesco has said the flexible workspace business will convert excess space at its supermarket stores into office space designed for hybrid working. It comes amid the continued shift away from traditional city centre offices, which was accelerated by the pandemic.
IWG said the partnership will start with a first site at the Tesco Extra store in New Malden, with workspace on the store’s upper mezzanine level being fitted with 12 OpenDesks, 30 co-working spaces and a meeting room. The new retail-based office-space concept OpenDesks provides greater privacy than traditional co-working areas.
