Co-working has become very popular here in our little island of Jamaica over the past 2 years. Whether you’re a freelancer, Startup, or digital guru, you should definitely consider the advantages of coworking when picking your work environment. Of course, one can always choose to work from home or from a coffee shop but more often than not, these places are loaded with distractions and don’t necessarily offer a very productive work environment. As a more suitable alternative, Co-working spaces provide many more benefits specifically to fill those needs.
Networking
Working alone places a barrier between you and the people who could potentially help your business. Coworking spaces will boost your network and in turn connect you with the most relevant people for your business, from potential clients, suppliers or even business partners. In coworking spaces you are guaranteed to meet high quality, talented, and like minded people to add to your network that might become critical for your business. With coworking spaces, you can still work by yourself but not alone. You’ll be introduced to many individuals that can serve as resources or sounding boards. At Cowork JA we’ll also be providing educational & partnership platforms that will serve as resources to help grow your business. You will be able to participate in member events to network, grow and be inspired.
Flexibility
Most businesses in our modern age are by no means traditional, so why should your working space be? With things like the integration of the global market, conducting business in a different time zone might mean heading to the office at 10pm to start your day. Coworking spaces give you the ability to do so, especially as most like ours tend to have 24/7 accessibility. Coworking spaces work with your schedule rather than against it. If you decide to put in a long day right up until your next deadline or if you just want to show progress, stay as long as you require. Need to take a long break in the middle of the day to tackle some errands or to even go to the gym? Your coworking space gives you that flexibility and freedom. If you work better in a quiet space because it increases your focus, or if a more open and collaborative space with shared tables where interaction is encouraged works best for you, you have that choice especially at CoWork JA. Our mantra is: Let your working space work for you.
Affordability
Coworking spaces like CoWork JA, take care of all of your worries and overheads when stepping out into the world of at home working. It allows you to rent office space on much shorter, more flexible terms. Whether you’re starting up a new business or even running an existing one, that is always hard enough on its own. Coworking spaces have a unique way of easing some of those burdens by drastically cutting rent that would be allocated for the traditional office space, with the added benefit of adapting to your business. Instead of looking for a new lease every time your business expands or contracts, you can simply change your membership to work for you needs.
Productivity
Imagine an environment without the stuffiness of a corporate office space but still more structure than your home office. Sounds perfect, right? That’s the beauty of working in a coworking space and that’s exactly what we’ve created with a CoWork JA. Less formalities and distractions, more productivity. Being surrounded by other hard working professionals like yourself will give you that extra boost of motivation. You’ll also have also have access to professional amenities like fully equipped conference rooms that will help you make the right impression all while increasing your productivity.
