How Co-working Spaces Benefit Remote Workers

The great thing about being an entrepreneur is the opportunity to reach people around the world, as opposed to just reaching those in a single office. As a remote worker, working from hope is a great option and gives you the freedom to choose your own hours. But it can also be isolating and hard to be productive at times. 

This is where co-working spaces come in. If you’re a remote worker, a co-working space can give you a collaborative office with the ability to drop in whenever, keep a flexible schedule and connect with others.

You Choose Where You Can Work Best

Remote working can be a challenging kind of job, but co-working can make it significantly easier. Having the option to have a space to collaborate with others gives you more freedom to work where you want – and also when you want. 

You’re able to pick your own hours and choose where you can work. If you’re craving an office space and seeing others, you can choose to go to a co-working space. On another day, if you’re more in a state of mind to work from home, you have the choice to work from home if it’s available to you. 

The Remote Nomad further explains the freedom that comes with choosing where and when you can work:

“Another challenge that new digital nomads in particular face is that although they now have the freedom to work when and where they want, they still have this pressure to work Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 am – 5 pm. However, being a digital nomad and remote worker means you can embrace your own unique working style.”

Increase Productivity and Be More Satisfied

Another benefit of remote work in a co-working space is the added productivity that can come from being around other like-minded people. Being in a co-working space puts you in the right mindset to get more done. 

Vox reporter Rani Molla discusses how people are more productive while remote working: 

“A recent Harvard Business Review study of US Patent and Trade Office workers found their output increased by 4.4 percent after a transition to remote work, with no significant increase in having to rewrite patents due to appeals. And a Stanford study of a 16,000-employee Chinese travel agency found that remote work increased employee satisfaction and helped halve the agency’s previous employee attrition rates.”

Co-working is a great way to increase your productivity as a remote worker. You’re able to come to a space that you enjoy and work with other independent workers and entrepreneurs. Having that ability to collaborate and network can be huge for your personal productivity. It’s part of our natural working process and routine that when we’re with others, we are more efficient workers.
