Upflex Recovery Program
Get Ready To Bring People Back to Your Space
It’s a difficult time for everyone: coworking spaces, employers and people forced to stay home. When lockdowns are lifted the priority will be for everyone to work in a safe environment.
We are launching the Upflex Recovery Program, whose goal is to allow employees to have access to spaces close to their homes and to avoid public transport and commute.
Attract hundreds of new visitors
Upflex provides flexible workspace solutions to over 300 companies around the world. We connect employees with the coworking spaces in our global partner networking, allowing them to book desks, offices, and meeting rooms easily via the Upflex app.
Become a Program Partner
Your space can become a Recovery Program Partner and help local communities of workers find an alternative place to work.
To join the Upflex Recovery Program, spaces partners agree to comply with certain guidelines related to health, sanitation and appropriate social distancing.
In the USA: spaces agree to comply with CDC guidelines.
In the rest of the world: spaces agree to comply with the World Health Organization Guidelines or applicable local governing body’s guidelines and requirements.

Recommended Guidelines
To be accepted into the Upflex Recovery Program, Space Partners must agree to comply with CDC guidelines (for Spaces located in the United States) and World Health Organization or other applicable local and/or regional governing body’s guidelines and requirements (for Spaces located outside of the United States). In addition, Space Partners must practice (at a minimum) the following health & safety practices to keep the coworking community safe:
