Caught between the convenience of your own home and a collaborative coworking space?
In a post-pandemic world, this is a decision most business owners, startup founders, and
freelancers have had to make. But it’s not an easy one, is it? Although each choice has
advantages, it can be hard to decide which one is best for your company.
To help you, OurDesk has a comprehensive guide to let you choose wisely.
Picture this:
You are logging in from the comfort of your home in your PJs while sipping a steaming cup of Adrak wali chai. Working remotely epitomizes freedom and flexibility. It's a lifestyle that gives you the power to choose when and where to work. For many, the concept of an office becomes optional, if not entirely obsolete. No more dreaded commutes or rigid office hours—working remotely is all about claiming back your most precious commodity – time!
You can’t deny the time and cost savings that come with a work-from-home office. Ultimately,
every businessman or start-up founder looks at the bottom line to run a profitable business. If
running a remote business offers sizeable cost savings – you should consider running one!
A home office also gives you the luxury to curate your workspace. As adults, we spend a
significant amount of time at work. Having to spend that time in cramped, dull, dark cubicles
in an office should be a definite no-no!
As enticing as the benefits are, remote work is known to foster feelings of isolation and
loneliness too. Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom conducted a robust 2-year study on
employees of a Chinese firm C-Trip: China’s largest travel agency with 16,000 employees.
Although the study found productivity increases, reduced sick days, and a decrease in employee attrition by 50%, the employees in the study noted that they’d much rather prefer working from an office – all because they felt too isolated at home.
Given people the world over are now more focused on their mental health and emotional well-being, especially after the pandemic, it doesn’t come as a surprise that most business owners, Founders, freelancers, and solopreneurs are being forced to look beyond quantitative metrics like cost savings to create a high-performing team/business.
Fast emerging as one of the most preferred models of hybrid working, co-working spaces offer employers and employees numerous benefits. For employers who prefer running lean operations – co-working becomes an ideal option that provides the delicate balance of realizing benefits to the bottom line while keeping employee welfare and wellness as a priority too.
For employees, working in collaborative spaces boosts productivity, and gives them opportunities to network and create meaningful connections beyond their team and company. Human beings thrive on connections and co-working spaces like OurDesk give employees ample opportunities to create purposeful relationships.
