Corporate housing for staff and projects | Stayflow

What is corporate housing?

Corporate housing is a flexible accommodation solution for companies that need to arrange temporary lodging for their employees, consultants, or project teams.

The need can arise when staff work in another location, for longer projects, temporary assignments, new hires, or when a company needs to relocate a larger team to a new place.

Instead of each employee having to search for a hotel or accommodation themselves, the company can arrange lodging centrally.

This can range from a furnished apartment for one person to several apartments, houses, or other accommodation solutions for larger work teams.

When is corporate housing suitable?

Corporate housing is primarily suitable when staff need to stay in another location for a limited period.

This could be, for example, a construction company with staff on a project, a consulting firm with employees on assignment in another city, or a company bringing in specialists from other parts of Sweden or Europe.

The need can be for a few weeks, several months, or significantly longer.

Therefore, finding available accommodation is not the only important factor. The accommodation also needs to suit the project's duration, number of people, budget, standard, and location.

Corporate apartment, hotel, or house – what’s best?

There is no single type of accommodation that suits all companies.

For one person on a short assignment, a hotel or an apartment hotel can be a good option. For longer stays, a furnished corporate apartment can offer more space and the opportunity to cook and live more like at home.

For work teams and larger projects, a house or a larger apartment with several bedrooms might be a better option.

The most important thing is to consider the project's actual needs.

How many people will stay there? Should everyone have their own bedroom? Is parking needed? How far can it be from the workplace? What standard is required? And how long is the project expected to last?

When these questions are clear, it becomes significantly easier to find the right staff accommodation.

Why corporate housing can simplify administration

Finding accommodation for staff yourself can quickly become time-consuming, especially when a company has multiple projects in different locations.

It often involves contacting several property owners, hotels, and accommodation providers simultaneously. In addition, there are bookings, contracts, check-ins, extensions, and other practical matters during the stay.

An external partner in corporate housing can instead help coordinate the process.

Stayflow helps companies find and coordinate accommodation solutions based on the project's specific needs. We manage the process from searching for accommodation to contracts and practical coordination, and we are available during the accommodation period if anything needs to be resolved.

This way, the company can spend less time on accommodation administration and more time on the project itself.

What to consider when choosing accommodation for staff?

Location

Proximity to the workplace is often one of the most important factors.

Cheaper accommodation far from the project is not always the best option when travel time and transport are considered.

For work teams who drive, access to parking can also be more important than a central location.

Number of bedrooms

It's important to distinguish between how many people an accommodation can technically house and how many can actually live there comfortably.

For longer projects, private bedrooms or fewer people per accommodation can make a big difference to staff's daily lives.

Furnishings and equipment

For temporary accommodation, staff normally need to be able to move in without having to arrange furniture and basic equipment themselves.

Therefore, check what is actually included in the accommodation and what the team's needs are.

Flexibility

Projects change.

Start dates can be moved, projects can be extended, and the number of people can change.

Therefore, it is important to understand the terms and conditions regarding booking, extension, and possible cancellation before booking the accommodation.

Budget

Look at the total cost for the entire accommodation period and not just the price per night or month.

Different accommodations may have different terms and costs for, for example, cleaning, parking, and other services.

Corporate housing for both small and large projects

The need for staff accommodation varies greatly among different companies.

A company might need an apartment for a consultant for two months. Another might need ten or twenty accommodation spots for a project team for a year.

Therefore, Stayflow does not work with a single type of housing or a standard solution.

Instead, we start from the company's needs and search for a solution that suits the project.

Stayflow works with a network of accommodation providers, property owners, and other partners, and also has its own accommodations. This allows us to help with various types of inquiries and accommodation needs.

Corporate housing in Sweden, the Nordics, and the EU

Companies' projects do not always stay within one city or even within Sweden.

Therefore, Stayflow helps companies with accommodation solutions for staff in Sweden, the Nordics, and other parts of the EU.

This could involve a single assignment in a new location or a recurring need where the company requires accommodation in several places over time.

The goal is the same: to make it easier for companies to get the right people in the right place without the accommodation issue taking more time than necessary.

How it works with Stayflow

The process begins with us receiving information about your needs.

We need to know, among other things, where the accommodation should be located, the relevant dates, how many people will stay there, desired standard, and approximate budget.

We then search for suitable alternatives through our network and our own accommodations.

Once we have found a suitable solution, we present the accommodation and terms to you. We then assist with booking, contracts, and coordination before the stay.

During the accommodation period, we are also available if anything needs to be handled or if the project, for example, needs to be extended.
