Why Flexibility is More Than Just a Perk - It’s a Priority 

If the current Federal Election campaign has shown us anything, it’s that Australian workers have fully embraced hybrid working and they’re not letting it go anytime soon. 

Across the country, demand for flexible, hybrid work environments continue to rise. As we look toward the new financial year, it's clear that businesses will need to evolve alongside these expectations not just to stay competitive, but to attract and retain top talent. 

So, what are the trends shaping the future of work in 25/26 financial year?

1. Flexibility First 

Remote work isn’t going away, it’s levelling up. Employees are no longer just asking for work-from-home options; they’re expecting tailored flexibility. Think hybrid models that let teams choose how, when, and where they work best.  

At The Park, we’ve already embraced this shift by offering flexible office terms from a single day to a full year. 

2. Focus on Wellbeing and Mental Health 

Workplaces are investing more in mental health not just as a benefit, but as a core part of culture. In 2026, expect to see more employers offering wellness programs, quiet zones, and opportunities for rest and reset. 

At The Park, we believe a thriving business starts with a healthy team. That’s why we host an annual Corporate Massage Day for all our office-based clients, just one of the ways we prioritise wellness in the workplace. We also include regular wellness reminders in our newsletters and run practical workshops throughout the year to support wellbeing and encourage a balanced approach to business. 

3. Smarter Office Design 

The days of bland cubicles are long gone. Offices are becoming more thoughtful with design that fosters collaboration, focus, and comfort. Whether it’s hot-desking, breakout spaces or natural light, a well-designed space can boost both morale and performance. 

At The Park, our serviced offices feature a range of layout options - from individual suites to team spaces and clients are encouraged to fit out their office as they please. We love seeing businesses personalise their workspace and turn it into a true home away from home.  

It’s all about creating an environment where your business can feel comfortable, professional, and ready to thrive. 

4. Professional Community, Without the Commute 

Many professionals want the networking and support of an office environment without having to go into the city. That’s where city-fringe serviced offices like The Park come in. 

Located in the leafy green suburb of West Perth, we offer the best of both worlds: a prestigious business address and a community-driven environment just minutes from the CBD.  

Whether you are after casual coworking, a meeting space, or a full-time office, you’ll find a welcoming hub where productivity and connection go hand in hand. When it comes to parking, it's hassle-free with street parking readily available and easy to manage via the EasyPark app, making it simple and convenient for your guests to visit. 

5. On-Demand Spaces for Business 

Business needs can change fast. That’s why more companies are turning to on-demand office solutions. Whether you need a boardroom for the day, a private office for a week, or a longer-term set-up, our flexible terms make it easy to scale up (or down) as needed. 

At The Park Business Centre, we’re proud to support the future of work with fully serviced office spaces, professional amenities, and flexibility that fits your schedule not the other way around.
