5 Benefits of working in a flexible office space

Whether you want to be in everyday or find a balance between working from home and in an office environment, the choice and flexibility is up to you. Contracts and renting options are flexible, allowing you to take advantage of being able to come and go as you please. A variety of subscription packages mean that there is no one size fits all approach, allowing you to find the best strategic fit for you. No time is off limits so even the night owls can catch their worm, with access to flexible office spaces often being 24/7. This provides the freedom to become the best version of yourself and allow your business to thrive in the most holistic way possible.

Unlike more traditional work spaces where everyone is moulded into one way of working, in flexible office spaces you are surrounded by likeminded people who have pushed the boundaries of how they work and found what works best for them. At OtherSpace in particular, we pride ourselves on bringing together a group of likeminded creatives aiming to find the most productive environment that works for them. And who knows- the open environment can foster the establishment of new business links and networks that could even grow your business. Flexible office spaces create a fun and social environment where creativity and collaboration is encouraged, which is of increasing importance as remote working can sometimes feel very isolating.

Traditionally, renting a workspace could often result in paying for a strict package, where you often end up wasting money on things that you do not need or use. For flexible office spaces, the clue is in the name, with a variety of different services offered that ensure you only pay for what you really need and what works for you. An added bonus is that you do not need to worry about any of the tedious small print or building management that takes you away from focusing on your business, as this is all taken care of for you.

The Coronavirus pandemic has led to a dramatic rise in working remotely which has brought a great deal of freedom and a fall in the well known 9-5 structure. For every person that this change in the way of working has benefited, there is most likely someone else who has found that the shift to remote working has been detrimental to their focus and they miss the structure of going into the office. Flexible office spaces offer the best of both worlds whilst achieving the same level of independence and freedom as working from home, alongside the social benefits and structure that comes from an office environment.

Whilst the cost of renting a permanent office space is rising rapidly, flexible work spaces provide the professional setting needed when trying to establish and grow a start up business without the need to commit to a permanent office space. Furthermore, these workspaces hold opportunities to meet and network with other likeminded professionals who may hold beneficial knowledge and experience that could help take your business that one step further.
