Explosive Growth of Coworking
The rise of suburban coworking is due to a number of factors in addition to population flows. The continued growth of the contingent workforce, including freelancers, independent professionals and remote workers, plays a role, as do cultural shifts toward more flexible work and improved work-life balance.
Against a global backdrop of diminishing business confidence and a weaker outlook for economic growth, a robust labour market in the world’s largest economies continues the demand for office space with high employment levels prevalent across a number of major markets. Demand continues to be driven by the knowledge economy, with the coworking boom continuing to broaden its reach across major markets, forcing traditional landlords to adapt their offering in order to best accommodate existing and potential occupiers.
In addition to cutting commute hours, suburban coworking office spaces offer several other benefits to members:
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
An open concept office space fosters interaction with like-minded people as well as introducing new ideas and concepts from other businesses. Working becomes easy with curated interior design, natural light, and inclusive amenities like free coffee to keep you energized during your day. You will notice that inspiration will follow in a bustling environment with other entrepreneurs and small businesses.
NETWORKING EVENTS
Whether you’re an executive or entrepreneur looking for new clients, coworking spaces usually get everyone together with fun events. Monthly networking events are a great example to find fresh new people from the community such as yoga classes, workshops, and paint nights.
FLEXIBLE TERMS AT A LOW COST
Coworking spaces are very flexible. WorkSmart offers members 24/7 access to accomodate all types of business needs. Eliminating the mundane 9-5 office routine and allowing you to fully dictate your own schedule. Send an email for rates and membership details.
WORK LIFE BALANCE
When you don’t have your own office, it can be difficult to differentiate life from work responsibilities. WorkSmart Coworking allows some structure for members, giving you a spot to come in every morning and leave once your done for the day. With multiple wellness workshops planned throughout the year, work life balance is achievable.
