11 | Wealth & Finance Q1 2026 month – the equivalent of roughly 1000 pints monthly. How these perks translate into savings and better well-being for hybrid workers Based on average hybrid worker habits, accessing these perks three days a week could translate into around: • £90 per month on coffees thanks to unlimited free barista or machine coffee • £158 per month on pints with daily beer-on-tap from 3-6pm • £13 per month on snacks, with complimentary daily fruit bowls, chocolate jars and weekly community snack drops, perfect for curbing those afternoon slump impulse purchases • £30 per month on wellness, with free onsite massages offered in select London hubs available each month and discounted partnerships with local gyms In addition, with the average household energy bill at £146 per month, avoiding heating and powering a home workspace three days a week could save the typical hybrid worker £22–£32 a month, depending on property size. Altogether, a hybrid worker spending three days per week in a beyond workspace could save up to £324 per month, depending on usage. Just as importantly, this saving comes paired with meaningful social interaction, from shared lunches and coffee chats to after-work pints, helping reduce the isolation that many hybrid workers may feel during the winter months. A winter-ready strategy for hybrid professionals Recent data highlights how UK working patterns continue to evolve: • 28% of workers are now officially hybrid, splitting time between home and another workspace. • Only 49%say they would comply with a mandatory, full-time return to the office. • 91% of employers now offer some form of flexible working. For many London workers, commuting costs typically range from around £10 a day for inner-city Tube travel to more than £20 a day for rail commuters from outside the capital. But commuting is only half the story. During winter, the hidden costs of homeworking such as all-day heating, extra lighting, frequent kettle boils, comfort purchases, coffees and snacks can quickly add up. Meanwhile, darker and colder days can elevate the feeling of loneliness. For many professionals, a flexible workspace with built-in perks offers both a cost-effective and enjoyable way to work. Wybo Wijnbergen, Co-founder and CEO of beyond commented on the findings: “There’s a perception that working from home is cheaper, but when you factor in rising energy bills, pricey coffees, and the ‘little luxuries’ people lean on to get through the workday, it may not the bargain it once was. What we’re seeing this winter is that people don’t just want a desk, they want to feel part of something. Our members come into the workspace for the community as much as the coffee. By offering free barista coffee, beer on tap, snacks, wellness benefits and regular socials, we’re helping people save money while giving them a place where they can meet others, feel energised and avoid the isolation that comes with prolonged home-working.” The beyond Savings Calculator Potential monthly saving: £324 Methodology The data is based on estimated operational data across beyond’s London hubs during 2025.
