The rise of coworking: a trend that’s redefining the world of work
What is coworking and why is it so successful?
The coworking refers to a shared workspace where a number of professionals – freelancers, startups, large corporations– work together in a collaborative environment. A far cry from the traditional office, these spaces offer great flexibility, a dynamic environment and enriching networking opportunities. There are many reasons for its success:
Networking: opportunities to meet other professionals and potential partners or customers.
Flexibility: no long-term commitment, space can be rented by the hour, day or month.
Reduced costs: no need to invest in a private office and assume all the associated expenses (rent, electricity, internet, cleaning, etc.).
Enhanced productivity: environments designed to promote concentration and efficiency.
Why are companies increasingly adopting coworking?
Companies are looking for flexible workspaces, especially with the rise of telecommuting and new employee expectations. Thebusiness centers combine low cost, flexibility and top-of-the-range services.
