Abstract

Flexible Work Arrangement (FWA) is a common trend used by companies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Technological developments make startup companies appear. FWA is the choice of startup companies to carry out work activities, besides those economic conditions are the main reason for the implementation of FWA. Employees will continue to depend on the work area to carry out various work activities such as focus, face-to-face interaction, and collaborative work. It is necessary to determine a new workspace model to support employee work activities. This is the main strategy in designing a new work environment for startup companies to face business competition in the new normal situation in order to reduce the cost of renting a work area in the midst of high rental prices for office land in the business center district. This study focuses on identifying FWA factors and office workspace attributes to determine the new workspace model for startup companies. Using a qualitative approach research method, the data was generated through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results of the study are 12 FWA factors that affect the attributes of the workspace model in the new normal situation.
