Office Space: Coworking vs. Working from Anywhere

Published on May 1, 2018 | 1 min read |

Work Together

The co-working model is rapidly increasing in popularity for small businesses. Instead of buying an office space or even leasing offices, companies or individuals can pay for spots at co-working spaces. Co-working spaces are more casual than the typical office and offer flexible settings to accommodate every type of employee work style.

Employees can have their own desks, casual break spots, and meeting spaces that can accommodate clients and other important contacts. Some co-working spaces even offer networking opportunities to meet other local business people in a no-pressure, no-sales-pitch setting. This option offers your company work space without a long-term commitment.

Now that you’ve weighed your options for office space, it’s time to set up options for you and your team to work from home. Allowing employees to work from home can be tricky, but with the right tools and policies, you can rest easy knowing that if one of your team members is traveling or needs to tend to a personal matter, the work can still be accessed.

Working from home can also boost employee productivity as your team members experience a better work-life balance. A mobile office will run more seamlessly with the right technology-look into productivity tools like Slack, Salesforce, and GSuite.
