HOW COWORKING CAN IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY

Findings indicate a positive influence of social interactions and coworking spaces on productivity. As per the results from research reviewed by Harvard Business school, working from a coworking environment significantly increases your ability to perform in your work. High levels of perceived efficiency and performance are the two key main highlights reported by those who have worked in Coworking spaces. One explanation for this is that people who work from coworking spaces consider their employment to be meaningful. Aside from the type of job they perform — freelancers working on projects they care about, for example — the people who were polled reported that they found meaning in the fact that they could bring their complete selves to work.

REASONS YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF BED AND TRY COWORKING

YOU GET TO BE YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF AND EXPRESS FREELY

Coworking spaces, unlike typical offices, are made up of people who work for a variety of different firms, ventures, and projects. Because there is little direct competition or internal politics, they do not feel compelled to adopt a professional persona in order to fit in. Working with others who do diverse types of jobs might help to strengthen one’s own professional identity.

COWORKING SPACES PROVIDE AN OPEN ENVIRONMENT

In coworking spaces, it has been like an established norm that one has to reach out and help others when they are in need. The varied member community present possesses unique skills which they can extend when they have the time and resources to do so.

COWORKING SPACES AND THE DIFFERENT VALUES

Coworking facilities are often open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. People can choose to work a long day when they have a deadline or want to demonstrate progress or to take a long break in the middle of the day to go to the gym. They can choose to work in a quiet area where they can concentrate, or in a more collaborative area with shared tables where a conversation is encouraged.

There are different values that we at dotspace aspire to achieve. They include collaboration, sustainability and a wide learning experience, etc. Coworkers can also also have more flexibility and control over their jobs.

SENSE OF BELONGING TO A GROUP / COMMUNITY

Connections with others are a significant reason why people pay to work in a community area rather than working from home for free or renting a boring office. Each coworking space has its own atmosphere, and the management of each place goes to great lengths to create a one-of-a-kind experience that matches the demands of their different members.

However, it is important to note that socializing is neither necessary nor compelled. Members can select when and how they interact with others. They are more likely to enjoy chats over coffee in the café because they come there for that purpose — and when they want to be left alone elsewhere in the building, they are free to do so. According to studies conducted, since it is known to the coworkers that they can interact with their fellow coworkers anytime they wanted to do so, even those members who do not choose to communicate with fellow members still felt a strong sense of belonging and identity within the community.
