Achieving Work-Life Balance with a Co-Working Setup ??

Burn out, fatigue and dealing with office politics are just some of the things that contribute to overall work stress.

Research shows that over 1.4 million Australians are likely to quit their jobs due to poor working conditions and stressful workloads. Now, more and more organizations are opening their eyes to the importance of mental health in the workplace, pushing for more wellness activities, implementation of mental health days or just the dialogue around it in general.

With the onset of mental health related risks, work-life balance goes out the window. Working remotely or from a traditional office set up doesn’t help as well.

CoWorking Spaces could potentially be the answer to maintaining a good work life balance for your employees.

Working from the four walls of your home office or traditional office setup can not only be really boring, it can also hinder creativity, new idea generation and overall productivity. Private office memberships offered by coworking spaces have a different approach. CoWorking spaces offer the tools and amenities that support a healthy and inspiring work environment and really hone in on wellness and community related things like social events, free yoga and meditation and some even have their own gyms / spas!

With the option to choose their own working hours and set their own pace, workers can achieve a healthier equilibrium between their professional commitments and personal pursuits. Additionally, the vibrant community within coworking spaces often encourages a sense of camaraderie and support, leading to reduced feelings of isolation and increased social interaction.

There is also so much more opportunity to network with other members who could potentially help you grow your business and foster a strong friendship as well.

What makes it different?

Wellness activities: for a healthy mindset.

Employee wellness programs in the workplace have become a top priority for businesses in order to encourage a healthy lifestyle and reduce health risks. Coworking spaces really hone in on wellness, with some having state of the art wellness facilities.

Many coworking spaces in Melbourne like Kings Club, Clarendon have high-end fitness facilities including multiple studios, childcare facilities, a salon and spa and lounge. CoWork Me workspaces and shared facilities have been designed to improve mental and physical health, so you can feel good about coming to work.

With a serviced office membership at CoWork Me, members have access to regular wellness events pilates, yoga, meditation and sound healing sessions. The best part…all for free! We also have access to an onsite beauty salon and space CHEYSA BEAUTY! Here members indulge in a facial or massage to relax and unwind after a busy day.?

Break out zones: where ideas thrive.

Another way that coworking spaces promote work life balance is by having break out zones. A dedicated space for idea collaboration boosts productivity where members can relax away from the hustle and bustle of the space.

This could be a green courtyard space, a lounge area or even a meditation room.

Creative offices: to keep you inspired.

We spend a third of our life at work. While at the office, you’re expected to be productive, creative, and social. The design of your office greatly affects how you feel and think. That’s exactly what co-working spaces have envisaged for the look and feel of the place.

At CoWork Me, our private offices are fully furnished with ergonomic furniture and plants with plenty of natural light streaming through the windows.

CoWork Me also offers a free trial day, so you can find out if it's the right fit for you.

Social events: the doors to opportunity

The whole point of coworking is to tap into the community. Events provide a natural way for members to meet each other, form relationships, and collaborate.

At CoWork Me, we often hold mixer events, workshops, trivia nights, and other programming to help break the ice between members and encourage collaboration. Creating these environments helps members feel welcome and at ease which contributes greatly to mental wellness.
