Debunking a myth about coworking spaces: Part 2

MYTH: Coworking spaces are noisy and you can’t focus on your work.

DEBUNKED: They are non-disruptive and help networking.


Today, we debunk yet another classic myth people have about a coworking space. Their belief isn't entirely wrong either. Imagine we tell you there’s a “shared space” available where several people work individually/with their team but utilize the same services and equipment by paying a certain fee for the same.

What is a shared space?

It’s a professional workplace that is used by people to work. Even though each of their work is completely different from the other, the workplace and amenities shared by them are the same. For example, renting meeting rooms only pertaining to the time of the meeting so that other members of the coworking space can also rent the meeting rooms as per their requirements.




Making use of the same printers/stationery, having lunch at the common pantry/lounge. Utilizing the same refrigerator/water purifier/restrooms and so on. When a place has these many members going in and out, having Zoom calls, regular calls or even conversations with fellow coworking members, you would most certainly expect the space to be noisy.

How does OurDesk stand out?

We’re here to prove otherwise. At a coworking space like OurDesk in Khar, Mumbai; we maintain a non-disruptive policy and simultaneously aid in the networking of our members. To do so, there is a set of home rules established by us and understandably followed by Members of OurDesk.





One of these rules is observing noiseless behavior to ensure that other members can focus on their tasks without any interruptions.


You would think how is it possible for coworkers to even network in a fast-paced environment like this? Well, call us Anti-Don because, ”Yaha networking karna namumkin hi nahi mumkin hai”. Apologies, we’re fans of such lame humor.


We occasionally organize events and host festive celebrations which make for light small talks and conversation-starters. It’s killing two birds with one stone, networking as well as having a refreshing time.

Our most beloved spot- Pantry of OurDesk. A place our members adore

We also shower our members with the utmost care, paying attention to all their needs so that they can fully focus on their crucial tasks. For it’s much more than just a coworking space, it’s about building community and making each of our worlds a slightly better place. A place that our members can proudly call their own.


No matter where our members move forward, they’ll always be a part of the homely community that they’ve all helped build. Gelling up at festive celebrations sure is a great ice-breaker but what runs deeper is coworkers building connections at our much-loved pantry.


Conclusion

Consider the pantry the heart of OurDesk, and our members the heartbeat. It’s the place where coworkers genuinely connect. They go beyond the boundaries of “Where do you work?” and “What do you work as?” and enter the realm of “Have you seen this series?” and “Do you listen to this artist?”. And the rest is history, you’ll always find a lot of them talking about various forms of interests.
