It’s not your parents’ workplace any more. And I don’t just mean that it’s your turn, and that of your generation, to run the show, as people of an older era are moving towards retirement.There are larger changes going on in the landscape of the work environment. Huge offices filled with endless rows of cubicles are being phased out, in favor of alternative workplaces styles. These include “open office” settings and teams which include a growing number of people working from home or other locations.

Office life today is a far cry from the endless rows of cubicles in corporate buildings which were so common not so long ago. Modern office spaces include more open areas and more amenities. And more and more, companies are allowing their employees to work off-site, sometimes in co-working spaces that the employer provides.

If you’re like most of the small business owners I know, there’s a good chance that you started your operation by working out of your home. And why not? If you’re starting up by yourself, perhaps with some help from family members and an occasional friend, there’s no need to bear the expense of renting an office. Eventually, though, you’re going to outgrow the dining room table. The time will come (and we hope it comes soon for you) that you’ll need to house some additional staff members, and want a space where you can meet clients.

Co-working spaces are a hot topic for today’s workforce. While they’re a relatively new innovation, this is one trend that looks like it’s here to stay. There’s a growing population of remote workers, freelancers, and startup companies that are driving the movement.

If you’re reading this article, I’m going to assume you’ve already spent time here reading about the benefits of co-working spaces. I hope you have already come to understand that a co-working space can be a practical and economic solution for freelancers and companies who are looking for a professional setting, without all the overhead of renting your own dedicated office. Congratulations on making it this far!

If you’ve been reading this blog, I hope you’re beginning to get some idea that utilizing a co-working space may be a great solution for you. Whether you’re a contract worker, working remotely, managing a team of remote workers, or just need some extra office space during a busy phase, you’ll certainly benefit from having a co-working space. But if you’re new to this, it may seem a bit overwhelming to choose one, especially with all the new options opening up in the Bay Area almost every week.

For freelancers and those involved in startups, it seems to all begin at home. Chances are that you’ve got most of what you need to allow you to work at home. To be honest, these days it doesn’t take much more than a cell phone, a laptop and fast internet connection to get started. But before you know it, the time will come when you need to expand past the walls of your kitchen or even your own personal study at home, leave the family and pets behind, and go to another location to get some work done.

It’s 2019, and by this point in time, I don’t need to tell you that more and more companies are allowing their employees to work remotely. It’s a cost saver, increases productivity, and most importantly, boosts productivity and employee satisfaction.

It’s no secret that remote work is on the rise, and it’s a trend that shows no sign of reversing any time soon.By remote work, of course, we’re referring to anyone whose job doesn’t require them to come in to the office every day. It includes those who “work from home”, use co-working spaces, or even set up camp in Starbucks or the library on a daily basis. Even among those of us who don’t work remotely 100% of the time, more and more employees have the flexibility of working remotely at least some amount of time every week.

Have you been tossing around the idea of working remotely? Do you dream of skipping your long commute and getting to work earlier in the day so you can get home earlier in the evening? Working remotely comes with a lot of benefits related to work-life balance and convenience. Unfortunately, some people find that the convenience and comfort that comes with working from home make it difficult to focus and maintain a high level of productivity. A co-working space can help solve that dilemma by providing you with a professional environment close to home where you can work remotely and enjoy the flexibility it provides.
