Hub Australia share a new partnership with Unyoked (a company that runs 100 luxury off-grid cabins around the world), aimed to help members ‘switch off’ and reconnect with nature.

Rebekah Murphy, the firm’s Chief Experience Officer, notes that more and more employees expect their employers to provide wellness and wellbeing support, so this partnership is one of many ways the network supports the health and wellbeing of their members. The partnership not only pulls in Unyoked’s expertise in stress relief into Hub’s workspaces, gives all members a 20% discount on cabins, but also gives the network 186 free nights that they’ll be using to run member support programs.

Rebekah Murphy shares that Hub Australia are introducing their Women’s Business Connection program – a business network for women, by women. With launch events in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Adelaide this is just the start of a curated series to support women in business.

John Preece from Hub Australia is successfully "stealing" my job by superbly summarizing another industry report, this time from Colliers.

In the report we get a new term "Hybrid-Flex", how this category grew by 17% by eating into what was traditionally "service offices". Also, 70% of tenants considering a new lease demand some form of flex options in the buildings. Landlord flex has (almost reluctantly) grown by 23% since last year. And the number of management agreements in Australia is up 2.2x since 2019.

JustCo officially opened their seventh center in Australia, at Emporium Melbourne.

John Preece from Hub Australia joins Jonathan McFarlane about the integration of real estate and technology in creating flex workspaces, and coworking trends on the PlaceOS podcast.
