Workthere is pleased to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Staytion, Asia's first multi-concept lifestyle space provider, as part of an effort to connect people to more accessible workspaces.
Staytion launches their first outlet at Marsiling MRT station, a co-working space located in the heartlands. The Marsiling outlet is unveiled by Mr. Zaqy Mohamad, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Manpower and Deputy Leader of the House. Mr. Ashley Swan, Executive Director of Workthere, Ms. Gigi Low, NTUC Club, Director of Membership Engagement & Experience and Ms. Jane Toh, CEO of Staytion were in attendance of the MOU signing.
Workthere offers options for the full spectrum of space to meet the working needs of individuals and businesses. They support start-up to large-scale corporations, offering bespoke office space, private offices or HQ spaces of 1,000 desks across multiple countries. The platform connects individuals and businesses with knowledgeable local experts and unrivalled market data to find the right space to work and grow in, whether it is a co-working desk, a private office or a personal self-contained office space.
As most co-working spaces in Singapore are primarily focused in central areas and CBD districts, Staytion’s collaboration with Savills will offer broader coverage of accessibility beyond the city centre. Both brands aim to build a more inclusive array of co-working options for hybrid workers in the heartlands, to better connect people with secure, accessible and cost-effective workspaces where they can work, live and play.
Mr. Ashley Swan, Executive Director, Workthere said, “As we exit the pandemic, it is increasingly evident that the way we work is changing. Remote and flexible working remain buzzwords with people looking to work from anywhere. There is a growing need for accessible flexible workspaces, especially so with most co-working outlets situated in central areas. Workthere is pleased to onboard Staytion to our list of co-working providers on the platform where we provide hot desking, co-working and private office solutions.”
“There is a growing need of accessible flexible workspaces, especially so with most co-working outlets situated in central areas. Staytion answers this call, providing occupiers with a multi-concept lifestyle option in the heartlands where people can carry out their daily activities closer to where they need to be. This allows people to use their time more efficiently while still being able to satisfy the social aspects of daily life,” Mr. Swan adds.
Staytion aims to provide a more holistic approach to the hybrid workforce needs of individuals and businesses. They plan to reinvent and transform the familiar MRT station environment into a more productive and innovative space near their homes, with reliable wi-fi and focus areas such as meeting nodes, cosy reading nooks, and cafés. Commuters can drop in any day of the week for a drink, and members can enjoy enterprise-grade wi-fi to catch up on work at any of the comfortable and spacious seating areas in these outlets.
Said Mr. Zaqy Mohamad, "The pandemic has changed the way we work with more workers and employers embracing hybrid work environments. SMRT’s Staytion initiative in the heartlands enables workers to embrace the hybrid work culture better, by providing them a conducive work environment and a way to engage clients and colleagues in a more conducive setting. This will enable workers - whether you are an employee, a start-up or a self-employed person - to work remotely near home, while maintaining a high degree of readiness and performance.”
Mr. Abu Bakar Mohd Nor, Chairman of Staytion, shared, "Staytion is at the forefront of driving a flexible work and lifestyle movement. We are here to create communities, memories, and bonds, connecting people by bridging their work and life. We are thrilled to bring together the community with the collaboration between Staytion and NTUC Club and Savills to create a holistic ecosystem.”
“We want to offer more choices for the daily commuter who wishes to meet, answer their emails on the go or grab a coffee to rest their feet while taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the daily commute and these collaborations are just the beginning of a wide choice of offerings to support our “Work-Live-Play” concept.” echoed Ms. Jane Toh, CEO at Staytion.
Staytion is now available for bookings on Workthere.
