The CEO of office space provider WeWork, Adam Neumann, believes working environments should be positive places for employees, rather than being viewed negatively. WeWork, which Neumann founded in New York City in 2010, has approximately 130,000 members across five continents in 45 cities, with another five locations due to open. Neumann believes the WeWork business model is “extremely strong”, noting its high renewal rates and interest from both entrepreneurs and corporate clients. “We have a lot more people coming into our offices now because they see us as an environment that encourages them to work at their full potential,” he said.
