Last week, Frank Bistrian, founder of work well win and former WeWork executive wrote about “5 Ways To Enhance Your Workspace And Prevent Employee Burnout,” arguing that “creating a humane, invigorating workspace doesn’t demand a total upheaval of company culture or identity.” Instead, Bistrian proposes a return to the basics, a return that can transform a depleted workspace into one of vitality and wholeness.

In fact, Bistrian isn’t just writing about transforming workspaces, he is in fact transforming them with his recently founded coworking company. Allwork.Space reached out to Bistrian to learn more about work well win, his approach to workspace design, and why it is that we, as a society, need to start creating more humane workspaces in order to lead a better life.
Allwork.Space: What’s the story behind work well win?
Frank Bistrian: I founded work well win in 2017 to give mature professionals a place to work where their health and wellness are respected and promoted. After years of working in the exhausting corporate world and then running development for WeWork, I realized there was a huge market opportunity to combine both of my career experiences and create a wellness coworking company, which we’re calling well-working, that targets corporate level professionals.
In addition to focusing holistically on wellness, work well win provides a higher tier, upscale workspace with flexible lease and growth options, to accommodate the needs and growth rates of any type of professional and professional group. We announced our $22M seed funding round, launched the brand at SXSW 2018 and are opening 90 locations over the next 5 years.
Allwork.Space: How many locations do you currently have and where?
We currently have one location in Austin, TX and one in Greenwich, CT. The locations in which we will be launching over the next 5 years includes Santa Monica — which will be located in what used to be a Barnes and Noble, Venice Beach, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Chicago and Washington D.C.
