Benefits of working in a coworking

Surely you have heard many times about coworking, a worldwide phenomenon that does not stop growing. Currently, there are more than 35 thousand coworking spaces around the world and it is, without a doubt, a way of working that has come to stay.

 

New direction for workers

If we put ourselves in context, in recent years the professional paradigm is changing. New technologies are a key factor that has led to offshore work. Thanks to the digital world, there has been an increase in two professional profiles: the freelancer and the entrepreneur.

 

These profiles are able to work from anywhere in the world, needing only an internet connection. This fact has enhanced the need to create spaces where they can develop their work: the so-called "coworking".

 

What is coworking?

The word "coworking" is formed by "co" which comes from "collaborative" and "work". Therefore, it is a workspace shared by several professionals called "coworkers". It stands out for being a meeting point where synergies can be created between workers and establish collaborations that could not have arisen otherwise. It is, in essence, an evolution of collaborative work that encourages networking, creativity and job growth. Next, we tell you the most important advantages of being part of a community of coworkers.

4 advantages of working in a coworking

• You will be part of a community

As we have already mentioned, when you start working in a coworking space you can create synergies and collaborations with your fellow coworkers. If we go a little further, you will create a community between people who have similar interests and what make up a professional network to promote joint growth.

• Resources are shared

For entrepreneurs and freelancers, coworking is an excellent option to work, since in the same space you have the necessary resources (related to the space) to develop your work tasks. This implies several things. First, savings on the investment of an office. Setting up an office has very high associated costs that many professionals cannot afford. Thanks to sharing resources it is possible to separate personal and work space without having to make a large investment. And, secondly, it is a more sustainable model. Sharing resources also means saving energy and reducing the environmental impact on the planet. In addition, there are companies that carry out initiatives to improve the sustainability of the workspace on a daily basis.

• It will improve your productivity

Contrary to what is believed, working in a coworking environment implies an increase in productivity. Coworking offers the possibility of working in a professional environment, which helps improve concentration and, therefore, productivity.

 

In addition, being able to work together with colleagues from many areas and sectors, as well as the sense of belonging to a group, gives a plus of creativity and inspiration, key factors for greater productivity.

• You will have labor flexibility

If something characterizes this work model, it is the flexibility it brings. Coworking spaces favor a model in which the worker can organize his workday without schedule obligations, thus maximizing productivity and creativity. In this sense, coworking offers different types of rates adapted according to the needs of coworkers. A range of possibilities that moves this model away from the rigidity of traditional offices.
