Workplace-as-a-service
Pacific Workplaces coined the Workplace-as-a-Service™ terminology since 2003 and we continue to be pioneers in the growing Flexible Office Space Industry!
Our Mission
At Pacific Workplaces (PAC), we believe the workplace needs to be hosted, ubiquitous, and seamless. Our mission is to 'Make Work Better' by providing coworking space in the form of flexible offices, meeting rooms, virtual offices, and flex desks in a shared infrastructure environment, with curated communities that provide a unique user experience.
Values
Our core values can be summed up in six letters: We Care! Our relationships with our members and each other are what makes us who we are. These are not just words. Customer reviews and ratings captured on Google, Yelp, and Trustpilot attest to the positive impact our culture has on our members.
All Pacmates are very clear about these statements:
- We care about our members. Without them we don’t have a business
- We care about our brand, because it is our reputation in the marketplace
- We care about our investors and landlords, because they put their trust in us and we owe them a good return on investment
- We care about our communities, because healthy communities drive the well-being of the individuals that compose them
- We care about each other because we are a special group
We live and breathe all of this to our core.
