Operated offices: discover the trends for 2025

Operated offices are all the rage! With the transformation of working patterns and new expectations on the part of companies, these all-in-one spaces offer unrivalled flexibility. In 2025, several trends are redefining the way companies design and occupy their offices. Flexibility, well-being, technology, environmental impact...

In this article, Deskeo, the leading office rental company, helps you anticipate these new trends, so that you can work in modern, attractive workspaces perfectly adapted to your needs.

Ever greater flexibility

Companies are looking for more agile solutions, capable of adapting to their needs in real time. Gone are the days of rigid, multi-year commitments: in 2025, the trend is towards ultra-flexible contracts that allow leased space to be modulated according to growth or the occasional needs of teams.

Office operators have understood this and offer adaptable formulas, with plug & play solutions that enable companies to be up and running immediately, without logistical constraints.

At Deskeo, we go far beyond simply providing office space. We create offices designed to support the growth and evolution of companies. Our aim? To offer total flexibility and an optimized working environment. With turnkey, modular solutions tailored to every need, we enable our customers to concentrate on what's essential: their business.

Hybrid and operated offices: a winning duo

With telecommuting taking root, companies are rethinking the function of the office. Rather than a fixed space, it's becoming a place to meet and collaborate. In 2025, offices will increasingly incorporate modular spaces to adapt to these new uses: connected meeting rooms, private coworking areas, informal brainstorming spaces...

Companies are adopting "Office-as-a-Service" solutions, where they reserve space according to the days their teams are present. For example, some companies choose to alternate between different spaces according to their needs: private offices for days requiring concentration, open spaces to encourage collaboration, and coworking spaces when part of the team is telecommuting. Others opt for shared offices, accessible by reservation, to avoid under-utilized premises and adjust their surface area to the number of employees present. This approach not only makes it easier to manage real estate costs, but also offers teams maximum flexibility.

Employee experience: well-being at the heart of priorities

Attracting and retaining talent requires a work environment designed to promote well-being. In 2025, operated offices no longer simply offer a workspace, they are becoming real living spaces where employee comfort and fulfillment are a priority. Natural light, essential to well-being and productivity, is maximized through bay windows and redesigned layouts.

Ergonomic furniture takes center stage, with adjustable desks, optimized seating to reduce fatigue, and even standing work solutions. Relaxation areas are also evolving: beyond the classic rest rooms, some companies are going one step further by integrating indoor gardens, meditation areas and even nap rooms.

All-in-one office solutions also offer a range of services designed to lighten employees' daily lives. Concierge services are no longer limited to restaurant reservations or dry-cleaning services, but extend to healthy meal deliveries, integrated fitness areas and personalized wellness programs. According to a Harvard Business Review study, 78% of employees say they are more committed when they benefit from a work environment that promotes personal and professional balance. This holistic approach to well-being contributes directly to productivity and talent retention.

Digital office solutions

Operated offices incorporate increasingly advanced technological solutions to deliver a fluid, efficient working experience. Spaces are now accessed via smartphone, with intelligent control systems that automatically adjust brightness, temperature and energy consumption according to actual occupancy.

This digitalization not only enhances user comfort, it also enables better space management. Space management platforms facilitate team organization by providing a real-time view of office occupancy. Thanks to intuitive tools, companies can reserve workstations or meeting rooms in just a few clicks. Some solutions even analyze employee habits to suggest adjustments to space planning. This approach eliminates unused space and optimizes costs.

In this ultra-connected environment, the question of data security cannot be ignored. With the ever-increasing exchange of information and the multiplication of remote access, protecting infrastructures becomes essential for companies. With the rise of hybrid working, companies are stepping up their protection systems, relying on encrypted connections and advanced authentication solutions, such as biometrics or dematerialized access cards. These innovations guarantee a secure environment while offering greater flexibility in access management, a key issue for tomorrow's workspaces.

Environmental responsibility: greener offices

Companies are increasingly concerned about their ecological impact. This awareness is reflected in a growing demand for eco-responsible offices. By 2025, the spaces we operate will incorporate sustainable practices: low-energy buildings, recycled furniture, intelligent energy management systems and waste reduction.

Other spaces are also committed to environmental initiatives, obtaining certifications such as HQE or BREEAM. Others favor the use of bio-sourced materials or incorporate circular economy solutions to extend the lifespan of furniture and limit the impact of fixtures and fittings.

At Deskeo, we're going even further by actively committing ourselves to this ecological transition. We obtained B Corp certification in 2024, which recognizes our commitment to reconciling economic performance with social and environmental responsibility. This commitment translates into concrete choices: workspaces designed to minimize their impact, a rigorous selection of responsible partners and particular attention paid to the well-being of our customers and teams.

Location remains a key criterion

A well-located office remains essential for attracting and retaining talent. Companies prefer spaces that are easily accessible by public transport, close to amenities and strategic economic hubs. Over the past few years, office space has been prioritized in dynamic urban centers and fast-growing business districts, enabling companies to attract new talent and facilitate the daily lives of their teams.

Beyond location, mobility is becoming a central issue. Some spaces go even further by integrating infrastructures adapted to new modes of travel: secure bicycle parking, changing rooms and showers for cyclists, charging stations for electric vehicles, or incentive programs for carpooling and shared transport. These initiatives respond both to the expectations of companies concerned with the well-being of their teams and to today's environmental challenges.

Operated offices in 2025: the obvious choice!

We've said it before: operated offices are no longer just places where people come to work. In 2025, they meet the new expectations of companies and their teams: adapting to hybrid uses, offering a stimulating environment and integrating sustainable solutions.

Whether you're growing or looking for a more agile office, these spaces let you focus on your business without the constraints of traditional real estate management. At Deskeo, we've made this approach a reality, offering flexible solutions tailored to the needs of today's businesses. With turnkey office solutions, services designed to simplify day-to-day operations and customized support, we enable our customers to project themselves serenely into modern, scalable workspaces.
