= Introduction =

The hub and spoke model is a term used to describe the general idea of creating a central hub or core with numerous secondary locations in strategically placed outlying regions. The hub and spoke distribution paradigm was introduced by the U.S. airline industry and has been successfully used by other sectors - such as shipping and transportation - since the 1970s.

= History =

In 1955, the U.S. aviation company, Delta Air Lines, set up the city of Atlanta, Georgia as its hub. The city served as a transfer point for passengers to make their way to their final destination. The model was considered to be more efficient since it allowed Delta to concentrate passenger traffic, equipment and operations in one location.

In the late 1970s, the hub and spoke concept was introduced in the tech sector. Referred to as ‘star networks’, the hub and spoke model was used as a method of configuring computer networks.

= Hub and spoke model for businesses =

Other businesses have explored the idea of adopting the hub and spoke model for their workplaces. Under this model, organisations would establish a central headquarters location - usually in a strategic place or city centre - which would act as the hub. Spokes would then be set up in locations based on several factors, including talent availability, client base and so on.

The smaller city centre hub would continue to serve as the front door of the organisation, where client and larger team meetings can be held. Spokes would be smaller, more flexible offices that are located closer to where staff members live. They may be set up as co-working spaces that offer even more flexibility for different teams.

= Changes brought about by COVID-19 =

As a consequence of changes to the workplace brought on by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, more businesses may be considering the hub and spoke configuration. With decreases in the number of people in the workplace (due to social distancing recommendations and work from home preferences), the idea of a large headquarters building centrally located in a major city may be less viable for some organisations.

By using a decentralised hub and spoke model, organisations may be able to allow employees to work from a strategic spoke location, ideally reducing their commute requirements and expenses. The central hub then would be set aside as dedicated workspaces for those employees who prefer to work in a traditional office for various reasons.

This modified configuration will allow businesses to move out of expensive and oversized city centre office spaces and explore the possibility of expanding their customer base in small, regional offices in new territories. They will also give employers the option to hire staff members from other parts of the country who had never considered this possibility due to commutation distances.

The hub and spoke model has been in use for some time - particularly with the high price of commercial real estate in some cities. Some have found it more difficult to manage aspects such as health and safety, equipment needs, IT security and other administrative tasks.
