The Advantages of Shared Office Space

Flexible Routines and Schedules
The most obvious benefit of shared office space is the flexibility that it provides. Shared office spaces have become more prevalent, as traditional office plans have become more expensive. Technology has evolved to allow for greater flexibility in location, communication, and capability.
Everyone has a unique work routine. Some like to come in before anyone else and leave early afternoon, others are night owls and prefer to work late through the evening. You’ll notice both full-time and part-time workers within the space. Regardless of your role or routine, coworking spaces are open as long as you have an ID card, allowing you to set your own schedules. You can even choose to sign a long lease (such as a 12-month agreement) or a monthly agreement.
Diversity
Shared offices spaces are a mix of people, ideas, concepts, and thoughts. This diversity can be a huge advantage or coworking members. Many businesses suffer from a lack of diversity. Not simply diverse skin colors, but a diversity of thought and concepts.
In a shared office space, ideas flow around the physical network of people. There are different backgrounds, ages, and life experiences. All these unique perspectives play into the unique advantage of a shared office. There are few other places where businesses can bounce ideas off of multiple people who spend their time doing something completely different.
Co-Working Spaces Have Great Features
A great benefit of shared office space is the access to co-working amenities and utilities. Co-working spaces offer these within their facilities, once again alleviating financial burdens. Many would say the best advantage of working in a co-working space is the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. These spaces typically have many amenities included such as:
- High-Speed WIFI
- Free Printing and Scanning
- Kitchen
- Mail Distribution
- Ample complimentary parking
- Private work areas
- Conference room
- Receptionist
- Janitorial staff
- Security
- Televisions
