Dorpee

The root word of Dorpee in many languages means “The Village”.

At Dorpee, we believe our work plays such a significant part in our lives. We want to live our lives to their fullest and be amongst the world outside of the office block. We want to wake up in the morning and look forward to where we will be working that day. We don’t want to waste precious time and money on crowded trains or sitting unnecessarily in traffic just to arrive at the same vanilla office. Instead, we want the flexibility to work wherever we want to produce the best results we can and love the work we do.

Everyone has their own unique things that make them tick. Working in places of our choice can inspire us to think more creatively and broaden our imaginations to new possibilities. Working outside of an office helps people to be more aware of their special selves and build a genuine connection with their fellow creators, workmates and customers. True workplace diversity allows us to turn what used to be seen as an Achilles heel, into a source of joy and possibility – like a parent being able to work with their team while having their child looked after just in reach. It is time for our human side to prevail!

That’s why we want everyone to join us in growing our “village” – to take us out of the geographically-fixed concrete towers into a world of infinite choice, where we swarm together to collaborate, and escape to our Fortresses of Solitude when we need contemplation.

Caring for our village is also very important to us all. We want our cafes, restaurants and other workspaces to be cared for as well. They work hard to accommodate us and, as a village, we need to look after them too. We are creating a community that looks after each other and helps each other thrive.

HOW THE DORPEE WORLD WORKS
Dorpee is “changing the way the world works”.
We connect workers with unique flexible working locations to ensure they can deliver their best possible work.
We source and share locations to meet whatever your working needs - from inspirational, to collaborative, quiet and reflective or even special needs such as working with your office dog.
This also enables venue operators to increase their sales and profitability through bringing in more people at traditional non-peak periods.
Dorpee Partner Employers are able to mobilise their workforces to work in Dorpee venues by providing their employees and teams with a true model that sits between the fixed office and the work-from-home option, while also maintaining line-of-sight, information about where their people are working from, and comfort around their safety and wellbeing.
