Customer Expectations from Co Working Spaces

Co working is a trend that’s been picking up pace quite rapidly. However, it is important for one to know what those who’d like to be part of such spaces expect from it.

Amenities and Services

The phrase "served on a silver platter" suits the idea of a co working space well, for that is what professionals who get on board, look for in it. A convenient space that offers amenities such as tea and coffee at the minimum and a work space that takes into consideration the factor of ergonomics for a comfortable working experience, are what most people look for. Security, parking space availability and maintenance of the office are also taken into consideration while choosing a co working space.

IT Assistance

These days, almost every professional depends on good internet connectivity and other electrical support in order to work conveniently and efficiently. An important aspect of a co working space is for it to have a decent Wi-Fi connection and other technical support. Depending on internet packs or carrying hardware like Wi-Fi USB Dongles are all out of the question because they can be very troublesome.

Socializing and Networking

Socializing is a huge part of co working and a lot of people who are part of co working spaces look for potential opportunities of growth, networking with professionals from similar backgrounds and exchanging ideas, while some also look for confidantes or people with similar mind sets to build friendships. A social hub for many, co working spaces have a scope of helping develop professional and personal relationships for youngsters today. The exchange of ideas and concepts helps in developing skills and the overall personality of professionals and the fact that one can find a whole array of different personalities helps them bond with those who they feel are like-minded.

Efficiency and Productivity

Earlier, freelancers and independent professionals had not much of a choice, but to work from home, which lead to boredom and monotony due to the level of alienation that was involved, from the outside world. A repetitive environment with no interaction with different people can cause delays in work and reduce efficiency. The concept of co working has managed to eliminate that disadvantage for good, by offering an environment with different mind sets and also a way of working that offers various activities as well. A change in scenario almost every day can lead to happier minds, thus helping increase productivity.

Customized Terms and Payment Plans

The best part about co working is that you can choose your preferred plan, since they usually have quite a few to offer. From hot desks that offer flexible terms and are given by the day to those who desire a change once in a while, to dedicated desks that are offered for an entire month to those who always enjoy working outside their homes, you have a variety of plans to choose from. One can also rent a few desks for an entire team for a longer period of time, which is an option suitable for start-ups. Also, one can hop in at any given time of the day, since most co working spaces in cities like Bangalore and other metropolitans are open round the clock.
