Public employees request a hybrid workplace solution. However, to someemployees, working from home poses challenges such as a lack of an oceinfrastructure and feelings of loneliness. To overcome these challenges andsecure decent work conditions during remote work, the private sector, andfreelancers have used local coworking spaces (CWSs).With the increase of hybridwork arrangements, the public sector needs to ensure that employees havedecent onsite and remote working conditions, in which CWSs could functionas an alternative to home-based work. Through a 1-year qualitative evaluationproject, 15 public employees tested hybrid work in which they combined workat the centralized oce, from home, and at a local CWS. Data were collectedthrough surveys with open-ended questions and semi-structured interviews.The results from the content analysis show a diverse picture of participants’perceptions regarding the use of CWSs. When there was a lack of users and adecent physical work environment, public employees preferred to work fromhome. On the contrary, when adequately designed, CWSs provided employeeswith social interactions and became an integral part of the local community.These findings suggest that introducing local CWSs can promote sustainablework if they align with employees’ needs.
