SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Peerspace – the
leading marketplace for booking meeting, production and event
spaces – today announced it is collaborating with United Airlines
to bundle flights with meeting space rentals for companies adopting
flexible, remote work policies.
Through a program called Team Together, Peerspace will offer
companies tiered packages starting at $1,500* per month that include United roundtrip
flights, short-term workspace rentals and unique collaborative
spaces for employees to gather in smaller, more agile work
environments.
Designed in response to the shift in workplace culture due to
COVID-19, the packages are suitable for a wide range of business
sizes and are fully customizable to include amenities such as
Peerspace discounts on food and beverage services, United Club
passes, Economy Plus upgrades and Premier status. Peerspace clients
can choose from an array of inspiring spaces across the U.S.
suitable for everything from small group sessions, to team
check-ins, to all hands meetings. Customers can use an online
tool to evaluate the financial benefits of shifting
office rent costs into travel and flexible work spaces. Both
companies have developed programs that put health and safety at the
forefront of the experience.
"We built Peerspace so that groups could come together in
inspiring locations to do their best work. While COVID has changed
many things, our research shows that the need for face-to-face
collaboration is still very real," said Eric Shoup, CEO at Peerspace. "As companies
continue to embrace remote-first work, Peerspace wants to help them
solve the challenge of how to meet in person safely and affordably.
We're excited to work with United on this initiative to seamlessly
connect teams when and where they need it the most."
According to a study by Peerspace which in part inspired
the initiative, 80 percent of respondents working at companies with
more than 100 people reported that COVID-19 has positively changed
their perception of remote work. In addition, more than 60
percent of employees indicated that their current work policy
provides the option to work remotely indefinitely.
"As good as technology has been at allowing us to connect
virtually over the past few months, it's no substitute for
in-person, human interactions," said Janet
Lamkin, Senior Vice President at United Airlines. "Demand
for business travel is returning in new ways and our relationship
with Peerspace provides some employers with even more flexibility
as they move towards getting their employees back together in a
safe and cost-effective way."
Peerspace has nearly 20,000 creative spaces in
1,800 cities in the United
States, including in United's hub cities, with indoor and
outdoor spaces ranging from neighborhood galleries to hidden
rooftops. Founded in 2014 with the mission of providing easy access
to unique and cost-effective spaces for any activity, Peerspace is
a leader in the short-term space rental marketplace, offering an
inspiring alternative to traditional meeting, event and
production spaces. For more information on United and
Peerspace's flexible working packages, visit

*$1500 for the 'Start Up'
package includes space rental only. Packages including United
flights start at $5,000.
Peerspace COVID-19 Enhanced Health & Safety
Measures
Now more than ever, companies and space owners care
about gathering in a clean space to help limit the spread of
infection. Early in the pandemic, Peerspace provided users with a
program for health and safety guidance that space owners can adopt
to alert renters to their own safety protocols. Space owners are
able to provide a summary that outlines their cleaning process,
provision of safety equipment (PPE) and physical distancing
guidelines for clients to review prior to booking spaces. For more

United CleanPlusSM
Since the start of the
pandemic, United has been aggressive in enacting new policies and
innovations designed to keep employees and passengers safer when
traveling. It was the first U.S. airline to mandate masks for
flight attendants, quickly following with all customers and
employees, and will not allow customers who refuse to comply with
the airline's mandatory mask policy to fly while United's face mask
policy is in place. United was also the first U.S. airline to roll
out touchless check-in for customers with bags, and the first to
require passengers take an online health assessment before
traveling. And earlier this month, the airline announced it hopes
to apply Zoono Microbe Shield, an EPA registered antimicrobial
coating that forms a long-lasting bond with surfaces and inhibits
the growth of microbes, to its entire mainline and express fleet
before the end of the year. For more details on all the ways
United is helping keep customers safe during their journey, please
