Newer workplace demands are emerging for the hybrid workforce, and employees want to work in different, more flexible ways. We are directly integrating our OfficeRnD Workplace work platform into OfficeRnD Flex to meet their needs. The Workplace in Flex Integration offers operators and member companies a set of modern, easy-to-use booking tools for coordinating hybrid schedules and improving member collaboration.

Summary
The process of enabling and testing the integration usually goes like this:
1. As a Flex admin, you enable the integration.
2. A new organization is generated by cloning the setup of your existing Admin company (marked as Admin in Community/Companies).
3. The generated Admin organization/company is free forever. It can be used for testing and presenting to Flex member companies. Other Workplace in Flex companies are charged 1 instance of their default currency per member with Active status (for example, 1 USD for US, 1 GBP for the UK).
4. Choose the right privacy setting for each company. You may want to keep a company hidden from members until it's ready to go or keep it visible.
5. Add your locations, floors, and office maps for your companies in the Workplace environment.
6. Make the hidden companies visible to members after everything is ready.
Note: The contact person for each company you add (including the Admin company) will be automatically added as an Admin.
