Why Coworking Space Is So Important in 2024

What is Coworking Space?

Coworking Space is a specific location, usually a large office space where workers from a variety of different industries, businesses and backgrounds can work together in the same space, despite technically not working together. Although, it can also be used by teams to work on a project together in a place that isn’t necessarily their own office. They usually offer a number of amenities that aren’t typically available to the average hybrid worker that can benefit their day to day work and make life much easier for them. 

What are the Benefits of Coworking Space?

In a digital world where less and less people are communicating face to face, coworking spaces give people a place to create, network and work together without being tied to a specific location. This can be brilliant for freelancers or small teams that don’t have the benefit of their own office or business headquarters. It also gives people who may spend a lot of their time working alone, the opportunity to cross paths and network with new people from both their own industries and outside. This can lead to new relationships (both social and business), as well as helping people think outside the box in a way that may be new to them and their workflow. For those people used to working at home from the same sofa or desk, it also allows you to change up your surroundings, working in new locations with a variety of amenities and other benefits. For instance, certain spaces may have restaurants, café’s, gyms, showers and communal breakout spaces that allow you to add variety into your day in a way that may be different from your regular schedule. This can help with a lot of the negative mental health setbacks of working from home. There are a number of different reasons as to why coworking space is important for hybrid workers, and finding the right space to match both your needs and budget can help you get the most out of both your work day and your career. 

Opportunities for Teamwork and Innovation 

Coworking spaces are filled with a variety of people from different careers, industries, skillsets and backgrounds. This creates a melting pot of creativity and ideas that may not be found in a one industry office space, allowing a variety of different approaches to problem solving. It also allows better networking amongst people, potentially offering up opportunities for headhunting and career changes. People work best when they work together, and coworking spaces allow you to thrive whilst getting your best work done. Companies may also find potential new clients when their staff are working together on a joint project or problem.  

Flexible Use for Owners and Workers 

Coworking spaces allow you to book in whenever you need to rather than being fixed to a set schedule. This means if you have days that are particularly busier than others, you can tailor your coworking pass around this rather than being tied down. For office spaces looking to turn their workplace into a coworking space, you’re able to set the schedule yourself. For instance, you can pick the days, the hours and the number of people you’re willing to allow in to suit your needs. It’s completely flexible and designed to work around you and your requirements. 

Cost Efficient for Hybrid Workforce 

As more and more people switch to hybrid work or working from home, a lot of once absolutely packed office spaces are being left empty, resulting in both wasted space and unnecessary expense. Downscaling your office space and using coworking spaces instead means your less likely to have a room full of empty desks and chairs, allowing you to spend your budget on more important things and allowing staff to spend less time and money travelling to the same location when there are coworking spaces available closer to home. 

Why These Opportunities are So important in 2024 

Less and less people are working together in the same place as we move towards the future. The internet means entire teams can work across the globe and complete projects without ever setting foot in the same space together, or in some cases without ever meeting in person at all. While this can be convenient and offer flexibility, it also takes the personal aspect out of work and reduces the chance of building long lasting relationships that can change your life (and your career) for the better. Being able to meet and work alongside new people from different backgrounds, careers, skillsets and even locations can open your entire world up to things new and important. Blending in person work with working from home allows you to get the best of both worlds, and get your work done on your own terms.
