What are the things to consider before choosing a co-working space?

More people are redirecting from traditional workstations to co-working spaces. But if you’re in a dilemma about whether to opt-in for a coworking space or not and what to consider before choosing one, do not worry! We have got you covered with it. Below are the most common things to consider before choosing the best coworking space for you!

1. Cost-effective/affordable

Sadly everything around us works with money directly or indirectly. This is one of the foremost pointers to keep in mind while choosing a coworking space. Based on how much you are willing to pay, you can opt-in for a coworking space. Of course, the amenities provided will be in coherence with your budget.

If you are someone who is starting out your new venture and want to upscale your brand without having to invest in a hell lot of money then co-working space provides you with the right kind of infrastructure and amenities without much overheads.

2. Location (ease of commutation)

Depending upon your area of residence you can choose the location of your interest to join in a co-working space. Also, make sure that the co-working space that you have opted-in for should be present in a well-connected area. That way you can work without any hassle while being to your co-working space. 

In addition to that make sure that it is in a Porsche locality so that you need not dread about anything in case of emergency or when in need of help. After all who doesn’t want to take a break in between working hours just to stroll in the nearby park or hog in an eatery.

3. Flexible timings

Almost all of the co-working space offers flexible timings these days. Provision of biometric access should be present so that you need not panic about losing your entry card. Also, it’s easy and convenient, isn’t it? An excellent co-working space regulates talent retention.

If you are running an enterprise but are not ready to spend so much of money for the working space then associating with a co-working space that provides 24*7 operational services is better for you. That way if your company regulates the night shift its easy for your employees to work without any hassles.

4. Safety measures

Regulation of proper safety measures should be there in the co-working space, due to the pandemic.

Here’s how you can stay precautious and unaffected amidst the covid in a coworking space:

  • Maintain 2- metre distance from others
  • Sanitise your hands if and when you interact with people or when you come in contact with lift buttons and doorknobs.
  • Wear a mask whenever possible. Especially if you commute by public transport or surround yourself with fellow passengers then it’s a must.  
  • If you feel flu-like symptoms within you then avoid going to a co-working space (for the safety of both yourself and the fellow users of the co-working environment).

Occupy in the co-working space only if they follow accurate hygienic guidelines, those include:

  • Disinfectant usage in places like toilets, Kitchen and general rooms.
  • The rooms should be well ventilated
  • Hand sanitisers should be available in the co-working space.

5. Ergonomically designed infrastructure and amenities

The workspace should be ergonomically sound with modern amenities. Furniture like chairs and desks should be ergonomically friendly.

In many, if not all co-working space consists of nap rooms, cafeteria, foosball for playing, so on and so forth depending on the co-working space you choose and your requirements of an ideal shared workspace. However, it is up to you to take the final call.

6. Calming ambience

A co-working space with red-orange color promotes productivity and blue-green color gives a relaxing and soothing ambience. A co-working space that can offer space in case of expansion of business in the future is a boon.

In that case, you need not worry about shifting to another place in the long run. Noise proof cabins are essential to work peacefully.

7. Inclusive and friendly environment/hospitality

Choosing the perfect community which is in alignment with your requisites is vital because you are going to associate with other people working in different industries and verticals. So make sure to pay a visit before and see if the co-working space consists of a friendly environment.

Your co-working space should allow you to organize collaboration via workshop and other networking events. The co-working space you opt-in for should give flexible plans and friendly policies.

8. A place that caters to your requirements

Access to high-end internet connectivity and business needs like printer, scanner and so on should be provided. This way it will be easy for you to have access to the necessary devices.

A parking lot where you can land your vehicle for how much ever time you want. Allocation of meeting /conference rooms is an additional plus.
