10 reasons to try coworking now

10 raisons d'adopter le coworking

Are you self-employed or freelance? Do you often work from home, but are not satisfied with this formula? If you are hesitating to start coworking, here are ten reasons that could change your mind!

Don’t cut yourself off from the world

Working from home, the only people you see during the day are your spouse, your children if you have any, and maybe your cat. Working from home is, in the long run, not as effective as you might think, and all of the following reasons are evidence of this.

Find motivation from others

Working in a common space with other professionals helps you avoid procrastination. Seeing the other busy coworkers around you will motivate you to work too, when there are so many distractions at home…

Boost your project

Another disadvantage of staying at home is that you are less likely to meet someone interesting for your project at the coffee machine. Talking to other coworkers will bring you new ideas that you might not have thought of alone.

Welcome your clients in real meeting rooms

Your lounge may be very well decorated, but it is still a lounge and not a meeting space. Most coworking spaces offer meeting rooms that are available to their members and contain all the equipment you need: whiteboard, screen, sockets, …

Develop your professional network

It is difficult to develop a professional network when you work from home. In coworking spaces, you can meet other professionals over the coffee machine at lunchtime and develop your professional network. And who knows? You may meet the person who will offer you the partnership you have been waiting for to take your project forward. Or the service provider you were missing!

take care of the environment

Coworking spaces share resources. A single internet connection, one or two printers, a kitchen, a dishwasher… This sharing leads to a saving of resources, which is a bonus for the ecology!

Benefit from a flexible formula

Coworking spaces often offer daily, hourly or monthly packages. These packages are more diverse than those offered by traditional offices, and may be more suited to your needs. Don’t need an office every day? No problem!

Work differently and attract young talent!

Breaking down the barriers between sectors, getting away from rigid dress codes and working in a space that stimulates creativity are principles that speak to today’s young talent. But young talent is not necessarily easy to find, and the work environment is a real plus for your recruitment. Show that you are capable of working differently by offering coworking to your future employees.

Move out of the silo culture

By working in an open space with professionals from all walks of life, you will avoid the ‘silo’ effect that many companies have. Coworking allows you to open your horizon and share your skills.

Respect the boundaries between your professional and private life

Being able to disconnect and have a real boundary between private and professional life is essential in order to have a good lifestyle and to avoid problems like depression or burn-out.
