WORLK is a platform designed for companies that want to retain top talent by offering flexible remote work options and monetizing unused office space. The platform aims to help businesses leverage their unused office space to host employees from other companies. By doing so, companies can reduce costs and generate revenue while employees enjoy reliable office infrastructure and access to local communities.
The co-founders, George and Christian, started this journey in April 2022 in response to the changing world of business caused by the pandemic. They noticed that companies were losing top talent to other organizations that offered flexible and diverse remote work experiences. The founders believed that there was an opportunity to provide a solution for this problem by creating a platform that could leverage unused office space for desk surfing.
WORLK is currently in beta and free to use, but will eventually be subscription-based for companies. The platform is accessible to three types of users: desk providers, desk seekers, and desk surfers. Desk providers are companies with free office space that they can share with other companies. Desk seekers are digital nomads without a desk to share. Desk surfers are employees that travel and use unused office space from other companies.
The platform offers a marketplace where companies can list their free desks and desk surfers can find them. Companies pay a yearly subscription fee to use the platform, and employees pay nothing. Work plans to expand to include couch surfing and an exchange program for companies from different cities.
The platform also plans to offer a credit concept where companies can redeem credits and generate revenue. For example, a company can redeem credits in terms of money, which WORLK will pay.
WORLK is seeking investment to scale and grow the product. The founders believe that employees can also be digital nomads and want to open the world for them.
Overall, WORLK offers a valuable solution for companies that want to retain top talent, reduce costs, and generate revenue by leveraging unused office space.
