Benefits of a Collaborative Workplace

When you think of the typical workspace, what comes to mind? The physical home of a business, spaces divided by team or executive level, the melding of keyboards typing and phones ringing. Or maybe, it’s been so long since you’ve been at your office, that you’ve forgotten what it looks or sounds like. For those of you who have forgotten what your office was like, let me bend your ear on why you should let it stay forgotten and explore the benefits of a collaborative workspace. 

Flexibility 
You can walk into a collaborative workspace, get on-boarded, and start working before lunch. With so many membership levels to choose from, you’re bound to find a space solution tailored for your business’s needs. That’s the beauty of the flexible nature of a space like CoLab, as soon as you’re ready to grow, so are we.  

No Overhead Costs
All utilities are included in the membership fees. At CoLab, all offices come fully furnished with a motorized standing desk, executive and task chair, locking pedestal, and trash can. The only item you need to provide is yourself. 

Networking
Not sure where to being making those essential business connections? A collaborative workspace has a built-in network, waiting for you to plug into. 

Tech Enabled Workspace
Not only is the Wi-Fi included in your membership fees, but it’s fast. Wicked fast, download an OS in ten minutes, fast. Not to mention that every conference room is equipped with everything you could need to give a high-tech presentation.   

Productivity Boosting
Studies have found that people love the personal connections that coworking makes possible. These personal connections cause people to feel more engaged and motivated to work, which inevitably boosts productivity. 

Resources Shared
By pooling resources for community access, it drastically reduces waste of energy and space. Collaborative workspaces also help the larger communities they exist in reduce pollution.  

Mental Health
Collaborative workplaces improve work/life balance by drawing lines between what is work, and what is home. They also decrease loneliness by creating the opportunity for in-person interaction.  

Events
A Collaborative workspace offers more opportunity for events to break up the workday, since you’ve got a team of people thinking of ways to enrich the time you spend there. From small leprechaun hunts to Taco Tuesdays, the admin team of CoLab takes every opportunity to bring joy to your day.  

Community
The beauty of every community is all the different pieces it is made of. Collaborative workspaces give you the opportunity to see pieces of the community that you may not have had a chance to otherwise.  

Self-improvement and Growth
Collaborative workspaces bring routine back into your day that may have been missing from your life, if you work and live in the same space. When you’re around people from different backgrounds and professions, every conversation had with a community member offers opportunity for growth.
