Coliving or cohabitation is a model of communal residential living that accommodates three or more people without biological kinship.

Hybrid Work

Hybrid work can be combined with other work modes, such as flex office, coworking, or smart office. The hybrid employee does not necessarily have a dedicated office in their company’s premises. Their workspace and working hours are more flexible than those of an employee working only on-site, allowing for increased productivity. This work mode also promotes well-being and inclusion while reducing the ecological footprint due to less commuting.
