The exponential increase in the demand for coworking spaces today shows just how popular this concept workplace has become. Freelancers and entrepreneurs worldwide have started to swear by the benefits such offices afford, and with good reason.
If you are an entrepreneur, chances are you have already realized why. You are most likely not sitting in an isolated cubicle all day during work and listening to your nagging boss, you are your own boss. So you are probably working away sitting at home, or you have taken a leaf out of another brilliant entrepreneur (read Steve Jobs), and have set your desk up in a garage. Neither of these are ideal work environments, in our opinion. Homes are usually full of distractions and may feel monotonous at times. While the garage option is distraction-free, it will still turn boring and is hardly better than isolated cubicles that limit and constrain the expansion of your intellect.
If you are a free thinker and the above statements strike a chord with you, you are in the right place. Apart from being easy on the pocket, coworking spaces come with some amazing benefits. Here are only a few reasons where coworking spaces score higher than the traditional office setting.
People:
In spite of coworking gaining ground among the industry giants, the pattern still favours startups and freelancers. Hence it still is mostly populated by entrepreneurs, many of whom will undoubtedly share your views. This allows for great community building. Just imagine the amount you can grow if you share and discuss your knowledge and ideas among like-minded people. Not to mention the massive network of contacts you can build up including people involved in so many different types of work.
Timings:
Tired of swiping in and out of your office? What about minimum working hours? coworking spaces have none of these things! Work timings are all very flexible. You come in at your convenience and leave whenever you want. No more attendance registers and timekeeping.
Location:
With growing popularity comes growing demand. Coworking spaces have thus started to mushroom all over the major cities, and the phenomenon is rapidly spreading. These shared offices are almost always concentrated in the hearts of cities and around major business hubs already established. This makes commuting a breeze. Forget spending hours traveling to and from work, just book a seat in the nearest coworking office space and you are all set.
Brain-Fuel :
Coworking spaces are usually always very thoughtfully equipped with a pantry or kitchen, and a dining area. If you get tired at work, simply refill your energy bar with a dose of coffee. Or reward yourself with a tasty snack. Got your lunch? Enjoy it comfortably in the dining area. Relaxing conversations with your coworking colleagues is an added benefit.
Unceremonious :
Are you like the other youth of today who gives more stress on the work they do than on their appearance? If so, coworking spaces are a godsend for you. Forget the strict official dress code, you can wear to work anything you can wear out in public, including jeans and t-shirts if you want. Coworking spaces give you a more relaxed and friendly work environment, ideal to let your productivity soar. In terms of the office space itself, you do not have to file mountains of paperwork or pay huge security deposits to get the workspace you need, making it a more affordable and acceptable option for you if you are an entrepreneur.
