6 Reasons to Switch to a Flex Space
Let’s be honest – both a standard office and your home office aren’t doing you any favors. Sure, there’s flexibility with a home office and familiarity with your typical office. But is it really doing anything for your business? What if there was a solution that both offered you the ability to be flexible with your schedule and offered a comfortable environment. There is and it’s called flex space.
Flex space opens many doors to the business world by providing individualized and creative ways to work within an office. This includes hot desks, communal work areas, private offices, enterprise solutions and more – all in one space. Flexible work environments allow you to work beyond your four walls. It means you aren’t limited to your same coworkers day in and day out and the same desk and the same 9:00am – 5:00pm hours. It means you have the freedom to work in a way that is most productive for you.
A coworking space like CommonGrounds Workplace offers many different types workspace options depending on your needs. From communal memberships, dedicated desk membership, private offer memberships, day passes, conference room hours and more – you can use space as much or as little as you need. With several of these memberships, you can enjoy 24/7 building access – ensuring access to your office at any hour of the day.
With the constant waves of the pandemic, it is hard to make a long term commitment to a lease. You don’t know how your business will grow and where it might end up taking you. There is another solution flex space offers – no long term leases (unless you’d like one). With your membership, you have the ability to commit month-to-month, six months, a year or whatever timeline is comfortable to you.
Additionally, you have the option to upgrade or downgrade your workspace. If you want to give flex space a trial run, you could begin with a desk membership and work your way up to a private office. Or as your business grows and you take on more employees, you can expand in to a larger office or several offices. The choice is yours.
Now let’s dive into how a flexible workspace can make your workday less stressful. The last thing you want to have to worry about is handling technical difficulties at the printing station or making sure there is enough coffee in stock for your team. Coworking spaces offer all-inclusive amenities, so everything is taken care of for you. Every morning you walk into a clean space with freshly brewed coffee that is fully equipped to meet your needs. On top of that, your friendly and knowledgable workplace team is there to help and support you when you need it.
Speaking of amenities – the one thing we are certain your home office doesn’t have is conference rooms of all sizes. Sometimes you need your own private area to think outside the box. Other times you need a space to host clients or interview your team members. A standard office might have one or two conference rooms, but you never know their availability and they might not be the right size for your meeting. Conference rooms are available for members to use and can be easily reserved through the CG+ app to guarantee the space you need is ready and waiting for you.
Lastly, one of the biggest draws to coworking spaces are the people. A coworking space is a community; a community that creates opportunities for each member to grow their business by connecting with likeminded individuals in similar or complementary fields. Some of the most common individuals in coworking spaces consist of entrepreneurs, startups, and freelancers. It is in the core values of a coworking environment to collaborate, to connect, and to constantly strive for more.
When it comes to your workspace, you don’t have to settle. There is more out there for you and your business, so don’t be afraid to explore new opportunities like finding a the right office. Flex spaces were designed with you in mind, so isn’t that the kind of workspace you’d like to be in?
