Coworking Is Not About Workspace — It’s About Feeling Less Lonely
Working remotely has many benefits: flexible hours, no commute, and autonomy and control over how you work, to name just a few. But as any remote worker will tell you, there are also considerable challenges — isolation and loneliness being among the biggest complaints. But research on coworking spaces show that these shared, member-based workspaces can substantially reduce the isolation and loneliness associated with remote work. Most members report an improvement in their work engagement and motivation, and a greater ability to concentrate compared to working from home or in coffee shops. For companies, allowing and paying for employees to work out of coworking spaces offers many other benefits. Coworking spaces provide excellent business and technology infrastructure, strong networking opportunities, and exposure to innovative companies, products, and services. Companies will also benefit from having happier, more engaged, and more productive workers.
