What is co-working space?
Generally speaking, the definition of co-working is when people assemble in a neutral space to work independently or in groups. It’s different than a typical office workspace because the people in a co-working environment generally aren’t working for the same company. Co-working spaces offer the same amenities you would find in a traditional office without the setup costs a business would normally carry i.e. furnishing costs, wifi contracts, kitchen installation, setting up a professional boardroom and more.
A major differentiator is flexibility since you don’t need to sign a long-term lease in a co-working space.
It is perfect for small businesses, freelancers, remote workers, and startup teams looking to accomplish their work in a diverse environment that can also provide an opportunity to network with other local businesses sharing the community’s space. Co-working is far more than a trend, it is a concept that is transforming the world of work.
Some of the benefits include:
The Opportunity to Network
A key element in the success of small businesses, freelancing and for self-employed individuals and independent contractors is the strength of their network. A co-working space can provide a fertile ground for finding like-minded individuals and creatives.
Working in a space that provides you with an opportunity to work alongside a diverse mix of talent and organisations every day can lead to making new business partnerships, finding new clients and organisational and personal growth too.
Increased Productivity
This can be especially true for remote workers or individuals who run small to medium businesses from a home office. It can be easy to get distracted. A co-working space can help you get into “work mode” more easily, helping you to get work done in a professional environment while enjoying the benefits of being part of a community.
Co-working spaces are made to adapt to different work styles. With your choice of either a private office, a variety of available hot-desks, the benefit of a communal boardroom and kitchen… co-working spaces are flexible enough to suit a variety of needs.
More Flexibility than the Traditional Office Space
A major differentiator is flexibility since you don’t need to sign a long-term lease in a co-working space. You can choose between renting a private office or a hot-desk type workspace. You have access to booking a professional boardroom as it suits your business or remote working needs.
Boost Creativity
By working in a co-working space, you are exposing yourself to a great mix of diverse individuals, talent, and new perspectives every day that would otherwise not be available when working from a home or traditional office environment.
Work-Life Balance
For individuals who normally work (or even study) from home, achieving work-life balance is incredibly hard when there isn’t a healthy separation between your home and work life. Co-working spaces create a healthy distinction between your home and working environments, offering better balance between these two very important aspects of your life.
Cost-Saving
When renting traditional office spaces there are additional costs such as spatial design furnishing, cleaning services, WiFi and utilities. Co-working spaces offer the benefit of being a “ready to go” workspace option with these traditionally additional expenses already covered.
Private & Shared Offices
Co-working spaces remove cubicles and replace them with colourful meeting rooms, hot desks, private offices that feature large glass windows, and luxurious waiting areas and lounges .
