He adds that when staff take ownership of their own space it can help them feel empowered and appreciated, which goes a long way to contributing to a healthy sentiment about their workplace.Janine Leschke, a professor in the department of management, society and communication at the Copenhagen Business School, says Denmark is definitely "not a work culture where you have to show up and be available all day, all evening, to show that you're working hard all the time".

Instead, she says flexibility during the workday gives employees the time they need to, say, pick up their children from school or day care. "The day doesn't have to officially end at five or six, and that's appealing to a lot of Danes with kids."Mr Hoces has noticed how some employers in the US may expect their staff to be available over weekends, to answer the odd email or message. That kind of overtime doesn't fit with his outlook on a positive work-life balance."If I was expected to take calls on the weekend, that would be a huge red flag to me, and I would likely change jobs," he says. "But so far that hasn't happened to me or anyone I know."

However, the money remains unspent, with the council concerned about how cost effective the project is.Mike Rigby, the councillor in charge of economic development and assets, told the BBC: "I'm determined to hold onto as much of that £20m as I can as there is work to be done... it's just a question of when we push the button that all the pieces are in place that whatever we do is deliverable."
