You may have noticed that there has been a huge shift in the way we work as a society over the last few years. Offices are changing and we think it is for the better! One of the new ways of working that we love here at SOCO Suites is co-working.
When we began our journey to create a flexible workspace in Dublin, a coworking space was essential. But what is co-working?
What is co-working?
Co-working is essentially another word for a shared workspace. Google defines coworking as;
“The use of an office or other working environment by people who are self-employed or working for different employers, typically so as to share equipment, ideas, and knowledge”.
We see co-working in Blackrock as a place where the business community can come together. It is not just about sharing an office and the cost, allows businesses to come together under one roof to boost creativity and productivity within their own business. SOCO Suites coworking allows you the freedom to come and go as you please or as your business demands.
Why has co-working become so popular?
There are many reasons why a business would choose to use coworking space to conduct business. From experience, we have noticed start-ups and well-established companies using co-working office space here in Dublin. Here are some reasons why different types of businesses may choose to sue coworking office space.
Cost – when a business is starting up or even if they have been around for a while cost is something you must be wary about. Cost is one of them. Beginning in a coworking space means you are not tied down to one office, you can scale up or scale down in team numbers without the worry of empty or cramped office space.
Net-working – as co-working space is a shared space there is usually a wide in-house community to network with. All kinds of businesses will come and go which gives you the opportunity to meet new people in a similar field. Some say it can be the ideal platform to launch a new product or service!
Workplace environment – Co-working is for everyone from start-ups, freelancers, small and large companies. The reason this type of working works for everyone is that it can have a positive effect on employees. Coworking has been seen to increase happiness, productivity and creativity in many businesses.
