Het doel van Floornextdoor is om werknemers een professionele co-werkplek aan te bieden die als een volwaardig alternatief gezien wordt voor een werkplek op kantoor. We stimuleren werkgevers dan ook om anders naar hun bedrijfsvastgoed te kijken en dit te optimaliseren. Door de cowerkplekken dicht bij huis te voorzien zorgt dit in de eerste plaats voor een betere work/life balans maar bovendien voor een aanzienlijke maatschappelijke meerwaarde.
