Secrets You Didn’t Know About Coworking Offices

Everybody knows that coworking offices are on the rise with more and more people preferring to work with other people outside their organisations. This preference has been acquired through experience of working in a coworking office.

Whether it is because you work in a traditional office or because you work from home, if you are someone who has not got to experience this yet, we are here to spill the secrets about coworking offices. Maybe you would too feel like switching after this.

Social Options

Unlike a traditional office where everyone has come from the same background and the same experience, a coworking office sees a variety in professions and mindsets. Since there are multiple people from different companies and organisations in the same space, there is a diversity in people to choose from. This way, one never gets bored of hearing the same type of experiences and one is aware of the different lives at the office. You can talk to different people and choose who is fit to be your office bestfriend!

Active Workspace

Coworking offices consist of more than one organisation working in the same space. Because of this, there is always something or the other happening at the office. Clients, meetings, interactions, brainstorming, icebreaker activities, and so much more is always happening at a coworking space. There is never a dull moment if you are working in a coworking space. 

Productivity

Just because the above secret reveals that a coworking space is always lively, does not mean that it is not just as productive. In fact, studies have reported that people who switch from traditional working to coworking feel more productive in a coworking space. The reason behind is that there is 1) there is comparatively lesser competition and 2) one’s mind is always being picked over something. Because you won’t be focusing on competing with other employees, you will be more concentrated on your own work. In a coworking office, everyone is constantly needed by everyone. 

Insight

Continuing the above secret, in a coworking office, there are like minded as well as different types of professions. If there is a variety of thoughts, people will want to know what others think about a decision. Maybe someone from one company needs the insight or professional opinion of the other company. In a coworking space, everyone takes advice for fresh and creative perspectives. Team collaborations from different organisations become possible which helps both parties. It is important to keep an open mind and collect ideas from different perspectives. 

Creativity

In a traditional office, people usually lose their creativity after a couple of hours due to overworking. Coworking spaces bring with them the advantage of taking a break if you are exhausted. There are also isolated and/or open break rooms where you can go to relax your mind or even work as a change of environment. Some coworking spaces offer gaming rooms so that you can get competitive with your colleagues over something other than work. Doing things other than work can get your creative juices flowing, further allowing you to be more productive. 

Flexibility

Usually, traditional offices come with their own schedules. So employees have to be on the schedule of others. This does not bode well for people’s personal schedules nor does it help in having control over your work. This is eliminated in a coworking space. You can make and work on your own schedule. There is more flexibility in working hours, break times, and even meetings. Working on your own schedule is much more productive and helpful than being on someone else’s calendar. 

Conclusion-

Coworking has helped many people realise that working amongst other people is much better than working alone or in a traditional office. It is better than working in isolation to work with other people. One gains experience and insight from interacting with people in a coworking space. Since human beings are social animals, it is always better to cowork than to work in isolation.
