There are two sides to a coin.
Every decision has its pros and cons.
And it's crucial for a business owner to assess each decision s/he takes so that the overall health of the business remains strong.
As a co-working space provider, we know why business owners choose to bring their employees into our space rather than buying a commercial property. But for owners who are on the fence, it can be a daunting decision to make.
So, we’re here to help you make an informed decision about whether or not you should purchase a coworking membership.
Trial Periods
Most co-working spaces allow you to trial the workplace before you sign a commitment. As a business owner, you can take advantage of such offers. This brings you insight about the work culture and the community that thrives within. Therefore, helping you assess if a coworking space is best suited to your business needs.
Fixed Term Leasing
Since you share an office space with other members of the coworking space, you do away with fixed term leasing. You are free to join and leave whenever you want only while paying for the days that you use the space. It’s hassle-free.
Facilities
Apart from the WiFi, dedicated desks and office zones, other facilities like meeting rooms, conference halls, tea-coffee, pantry, printing and stationery and games are also available for use on an as-needed basis. These facilities are provided to ensure employees have a well-rounded, comfortable and seamless experience of working in a shared office.
Productive Environment
When you work with different personas around you, their influence rubs off on you and you tend to see things from a different perspective. To work with people from different offices is a unique opportunity that is hard to come by in a traditional office setting.
As exciting and efficient it is to work in a co-working space, some business owners find that there are certain drawbacks too.
Lack of Branding
Although you can customize your designated workspace, there are chances you might not be able to switch it up entirely. As a business, you may have to forego opportunities to enhance your own brand presence inside the office. For many businesses, this is but a tiny disadvantage.
Non-Availability of Facilities
Since every facility is available to each member equally, there are chances you might not have access to a last-minute meeting room that has been requested. Pre-booking meeting rooms can help with this or taking the conversation outside - over coffee works best.
Sharing a Space
Being surrounded by different people has its perks but it might take time for you or your employees to familiarize yourself with new faces you see, almost everyday. It could be an amazing opportunity to learn something new about somebody, everyday!
While there are advantages and disadvantages of every decision, as a business owner you know what’s best for your business. If you are keen to explore a co-working space in Khar for your team, reach out to OurDesk.
