Virtual Office Space Provider VirBELA Launches Private Team Suites
Team Suites Allow Teams of Up to 20 to Work Together, Remotely;
Promotes Casual Interaction and Deeper Collaboration
La Jolla, Calif. — Oct. 22, 2019 — Virtual office space provider VirBELA, an eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI) company, today announced the launch of its private Team Suites. Team Suites, which have been in beta testing, allow teams of up to 20 people to collaborate in a private virtual office space.
Four out of 10 (43 percent) of American workers say they work away from the office some or all of the time, and that number continues to grow. VirBELA offers a variety of spaces that allow remote teams to interact, conduct meetings and presentations and, now, sit together daily in a private, virtual office environment. Current clients include Stanford University.
“Technology is racing to facilitate the growing trend of remote work. Even as more people are working from home or local co-working spaces, study after study show collaboration and engagement are key to driving business results,” said VirBELA Founder Dr. Alex Howland. “Video conference and instant message technology promote collaboration, but what’s missing is casual interaction, real-time conversation and deep engagement with companies and colleagues. VirBELA creates the opportunity for teams to virtually sit together while doing their work, asking questions and having conversations just like they would in a physical office.”
VirBELA offers three types of virtual office space:
- VirBELA’s Open Campus is free for anyone to use, allowing entrepreneurs and small businesses to work together in an immersive environment.
- Now, VirBELA offers private Team Suites within the Open Campus that can be leased on a month-to-month basis for $200 per month. A Team Suite is a private, branded, virtual office for up to 20 people that costs thousands less per month than leasing a brick-and-mortar space.
- VirBELA also offers fully-customized environments that allow companies to have their own private campus or to host unique training specific to their industry. People can hold “face-to-face” meetings or host online events, on an ongoing or one-time basis.
For more information about VirBELA Open Campus or private Team Suites, visit www.virbela.com to take a tour of the future of work.
