WeWork has launched a new pay-as-you-go offering to access workspace and meeting rooms in Edinburgh.
The global flexible space provider said WeWork on Demand has been launched as businesses around the world implement hybrid work strategies, adding that "flexibility, optionality and convenience have emerged as key pillars of the new workplace".
It said WeWork On Demand offers the flexibility to book workspace by the day and meeting rooms by the hour through its apps.
Since its initial launch in New York City a year ago and growth to now more than 200 locations across North America, the expansion takes WeWork On Demand to nearly 300 locations across 47 major cities globally, the company said.
Samit Chopra, president and chief operating officer, international, WeWork, said: “Now more than ever, flexibility is of utmost importance to both businesses and individuals as they navigate a new world of work.
“Leveraging our expansive portfolio of inspiring spaces in sought-after locations, WeWork On Demand fulfills the need for flexibility through accessible, convenient workspace in the era of hybrid work.
"With the expansion of pay-as-you-go access to spaces in major markets across the UK, Ireland, Singapore, and Australia, we’re providing more workers with the choice and tools to decide how, where, and when they want to work, right from their phones.”
WeWork On Demand is said to meet the growing interest in alternative workspaces “whether as a third space for employees to leverage in between their home and office or for fully remote teams to come together”.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
