WORQ, Malaysia’s leading coworking and flex space provider, has launched WORQ Express, a revolutionary mobility solution that enables professionals and digital nomads to work flexibly from anywhere, by reducing commuting time and boosting productivity.

This collaboration with Alunan Perhentian Sdn Bhd (Alunan Resort) signifies WORQ’s dedication to transforming the coworking landscape by offering self-service workspaces and meeting rooms to cater to the evolving needs of remote workers.

With this expansion, WORQ is committed to creating an extensive network of workspaces that redefine the concept of work, empowering individuals to be productive wherever they may be.

Being the brand’s first outlet outside of central Malaysia, this coworking space in partnership with Alunan Resort, occupies two rooms, with a meeting room and a hot desk area that operates 24/7.

Guests can easily utilize the space on-demand, with a unique access code generated upon booking through WORQ’s system.

Stephanie Ping, Co-Founder and CEO of WORQ said, “We are thrilled to announce the launch of WORQ Express at Alunan Resort, signifying our foray into reutilizing and unlocking the potential value of spaces across various property types.

With WORQ Express, we are introducing mobility solutions that not only reduce commute time but also enhance productivity.

Based on a study by Cisco (2022), the majority of employees in Malaysia (68.1%) reported saving over four hours of commute time per week by embracing hybrid work arrangements and an overall improvement in productivity by 55.1%.

This is just the beginning, as we have ambitious plans to roll out WORQ Express across Malaysia, empowering individuals to work flexibly and efficiently from anywhere. We are excited about the possibilities and the positive impact this will have on the way people work.”

In today’s fast-paced world, where flexibility is key, WORQ Express offers workers the ultimate freedom to be productive on the go.

WORQ Express provides a range of creative and collaborative spaces with high speed internet and meeting room amenities, designed to meet the diverse needs of professionals and digital nomads.

The spaces offer ideal environments for small group meetings or discussions, featuring vibrant and collaborative spaces. Additionally, quiet zones are available for private work or important virtual meetings, ensuring professionals have a peaceful and productive space to focus on their tasks.

This collaboration with Alunan Resort demonstrates WORQ’s unique strength in partnering with property developers to transform and unlock the potential of underutilized spaces across various property types, including hotels, office buildings, shopping malls and residences.

Since its inception in 2017, WORQ has successfully launched six new outlets and maintained profitability even during the challenging pandemic period. Building on the strength of its proven business model, Stephanie emphasizes that WORQ is steadily progressing with its expansion strategy, and is on track to double its total space under management to 200,000 square feet by the end of 2023.

Enhancing work-life balance and overall well-being

WORQ Express plays a significant role in fostering work-life balance and enhancing overall well-being for individuals. With its flexible workspaces accessible from anywhere, WORQ Express enables professionals to prioritize personal activities, resulting in a seamless integration of work and personal life.

The Cisco study highlights the positive impact of hybrid working, with 79.3% of Malaysian employees experiencing an improvement in their overall well-being and 86.2% reporting increased happiness.

“We are proud to collaborate with WORQ in establishing the first and only self-service coworking space on an island. We firmly believe in the concept of a ‘work + meaningful holiday’ experience and our collaboration with WORQ takes it to the next level.” shared Sany Ismail, Co-Founder of Alunan Resort.
