Over the last few years, there has been a growing trend of people working from home. Hybrid systems have become the new norm for many companies, with employees working from both the office and home giving full flexibility to management and employees. However, as society begins to return to “normal,” there is an increased interest in returning to the office full-time.
On the other hand, some companies, as well as startups and entrepreneurs, are exploring other alternatives to the traditional office, such as private offices and coworking spaces. These types of flexible workspaces are becoming more popular as companies try to provide their employees with a sense of normalcy and comfort, and the ability to move out of a home office situation.
A coworking space is a type of shared office that allows people to rent desks or offices on an as-needed basis. In a coworking arrangement, members from different industries share the same space, which can create a sense of community and collaboration. It also allows for saving on different infrastructure aspects of business including, but not limited to, the office space itself, equipment, and furniture. In some cases, receptionist and custodial services, as well as refreshments and parcel acceptance services are shared to further reduce the costs.
The first coworking space was started in San Francisco in 2005, and since then, the industry has grown exponentially due to the benefits of sharing costs, which is secondary to the popularity of being in a community with like-minded professionals. While private offices have been around for a while, the coworking model with shared access to drop-in areas, lounges, and meeting rooms is a relatively new concept that has only gained popularity in recent years.
Unlike a private office, which can be expensive and inflexible, a private office at Office Evolution Somerville gives you the opportunity to have a presence in a prime location without the long-term commitment or high price tag. OE Somerville is the perfect example of a modern, affordable coworking space that offers all the amenities and services you need to be productive.
Some of the benefits of our coworking space include:
In today’s reality, many employees prefer to have the choice to work from home. In fact, according to an Owl Lab survey, 59% of applicants prefer to have an employer that offers remote work and flexible scheduling. The same survey states that 23% of those who are currently employed would gladly work from home full-time.
But, there are also many who crave the social interaction and collaboration that comes with working in an office. That’s why providing a hybrid setup where part of the workforce can work from home and the rest can come into the office a few days a week can be the best solution for many businesses.
Office Evolution Somerville coworking space allows you to remove the need of having a single, costly, and inflexible traditional office space while still having a place for you and your employees to come into the office when needed.
