For corporate America, the world is becoming both bigger and smaller at the same time. As the marketplace grows less and less defined by geography, so does the work force. More and more companies are realizing the benefits of a distributed work force. With internet access, employees can work effectively remotely. No longer are CEOs constrained by finding the best prospective employees in their immediate area—they can access locales across the country for the best fit.
The distributed work force and decentralized office necessitates more travel by the management, account executives, and the sales team. This rise in corporate travel has led to an explosion in the need for affordable, short-term housing.
Meet corporate housing.
Corporate housing is a short-to-medium term lodging intended to offer comfortable convenience for the traveling businessman/woman. Corporate housing is typically an apartment, condominium, or house that has all the amenities (and more) of the user’s home. These include bedding, linens, phone, internet access, a fully-functional kitchen. And while a hotel suite is the classic choice for business travel, it lacks the privacy, comfort, and quiet of standard corporate housing. Corporate housing is also typically centrally located in most major U.S. cities, curtailing the need for a rental car.
If you or your employees need a convenient, economical temporary housing solution, it might be time to explore your corporate housing options.
