Why change scenery? Remote work day at Wörkkis

Spending a remote workday in a shopping center workspace offers a refreshing alternative to working within the four walls of your home. A change of environment can improve focus, increase creativity, and enhance work efficiency. The Wörkkis workspace at Jumbo combines the comforts of remote work with the diverse services of a shopping center. You can work in a peaceful environment and take care of your daily errands in a single visit. Lunch options are plentiful, and during breaks, you can easily combine work and errands into an efficient package.

Why should you spend your remote workday somewhere other than home?

Working outside the home brings welcome variation to remote work routines and helps separate work and leisure time more clearly. A change of environment can significantly boost productivity, as a new environment refreshes the brain and helps you focus on work tasks better than the familiar home environment.

When working at home, the boundary between work and free time easily blurs, which can lead to constantly thinking about work and increased stress. Working in a different environment helps keep these areas of life separate. When the workday ends, you can concretely leave work matters behind as you exit the workspace.

A social environment is also an important factor for wellbeing. Remote work at home can be lonely, but in a public workspace, you’re surrounded by other people, even when working on your own projects. This can reduce feelings of isolation and bring new perspectives to your work. Additionally, a professional work environment can increase motivation and create a positive work atmosphere.

What does Wörkkis offer to remote workers?

Wörkkis is a free workspace designed for the needs of remote workers and students. The space is located on the 2nd floor of Jumbo’s leisure quarter, at the end of Break Sokos Hotel Flamingo, and is open on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM, Saturdays from 8 AM to 6 PM, and Sundays from 11 AM to 6 PM.

The workspace offers versatile workstations for every taste – you can choose a traditional desk or relax while working on a sofa. For calls requiring concentration, there are two soundproof phone booths available, allowing private conversations without disturbing other workspace users. All workstations naturally have power outlets for charging devices.

At Wörkkis, you have access to a fast and free WiFi connection, and no reservation is required. You can also use storage lockers where you can safely leave your belongings if you go for lunch or run errands. Remember, however, to bring your own lock and empty the locker at the end of the day. Please note that the space is an allergy-free area, so pets cannot be brought in.

How does Jumbo’s restaurant selection serve during a remote workday?

Jumbo’s diverse restaurant selection makes your remote workday smooth and delicious. Lunch options are available for every taste and schedule – you can choose a quick take-away meal or enjoy a longer lunch break at a restaurant.

During the morning, you can get energy from cafés that offer a selection of savory and sweet treats. For lunch, there are several options: restaurants offer both fast food and à la carte dishes. If you prefer a quicker alternative, you can get a ready-made meal from hypermarkets and enjoy it at Wörkkis. Hypermarkets offer a wide range of ready-made foods from salads to hot meals.

Afternoon energy dips can be replenished again at cafés or by getting a small snack from stores. Many restaurants also offer take-away options, so you can enjoy restaurant food directly at your workstation if you wish. The diverse selection ensures that you will certainly find a suitable option regardless of your diet or preferences.

How to efficiently combine a remote workday and errands?

Combining a remote workday and errands at Jumbo works effortlessly when you plan your day sensibly. Use the natural breaks in your workday for efficient errands – lunch breaks or shorter breaks are well-suited for smaller purchases.

You can plan your workday breaks in advance and use them efficiently for handling various matters. For example, a 15-minute break is enough for a quick visit to the nearest stores. During lunch break, you have time to take care of several matters, such as visiting the pharmacy, bank, or making smaller purchases. Storage lockers at Wörkkis allow you to leave your purchases in a secure place during your workday.

After the workday, you can continue running errands without rushing, as you’re already at the shopping center. This saves time and effort compared to driving home first and then separately to the shopping center. By combining work and errands in the same location, you also save travel time and fuel costs. Efficient time management leaves more free time for the evening when the day’s obligations have been handled in one go.

What advantages does working at Jumbo offer compared to traditional remote work?

Working at Jumbo offers a more versatile environment than traditional work from home. The shopping center environment provides a social atmosphere where you can focus on your work while being surrounded by other people, which reduces the loneliness of remote work.

The immediate availability of services is a significant advantage. When working at home, you have to make separate trips to run errands, but at Jumbo, all services are under one roof. Lunch possibilities are considerably more diverse than at home, where one often settles for quick and monotonous solutions. At the shopping center, you can choose a restaurant according to your mood and schedule.

Separating work and leisure time is easier when you work in a separate space. When the workday ends, you can concretely leave work behind and move on to leisure activities. This clear boundary helps recover from the strains of the workday and prevents work stress from spreading to your free time. Additionally, Wörkkis’s ergonomic workstations can offer a better work environment than a home office, which is often a compromise in terms of space and comfort. All these advantages together make working at Jumbo a viable alternative to traditional remote work.
