It checked out. So we were curious: What makes coworking spaces – defined as membership-based workspaces where diverse groups of freelancers, remote workers, and other independent professionals work together in a shared, communal setting – so effective? And are there lessons for more traditional offices?

To find out, we interviewed several coworking space founders and community managers, and surveyed several hundred workers from dozens of coworking spaces around the U.S. A regression analysis following our survey revealed three substantial predictors of thriving:

People who use coworking spaces see their work as meaningful. Aside from the type of work they’re doing – freelancers choosing projects they care about, for example — the people we surveyed reported finding meaning in the fact that they could bring their whole selves to work. They’re able to do this in a few ways.

First, unlike a traditional office, coworking spaces consist of members who work for a range of different companies, ventures, and projects. Because there is little direct competition or internal politics, they don’t feel they have to put on a work persona to fit in. Working amidst people doing different kinds of work can also make one’s own work identity stronger. Our respondents were given the opportunity to frequently describe what they do, which can make what they do seem more interesting and distinctive.

Second, meaning may also come from working in a culture where it is the norm to help each other out, and there are many opportunities to do so; the variety of workers in the space means that coworkers have unique skill sets that they can provide to other community members.

Lastly, meaning may also be derived from a more concrete source: The social mission inherent in the Coworking Manifesto, an online document signed by members of more than 1,700 working spaces. It clearly articulates the values that the coworking movement aspires to, including community, collaboration, learning, and sustainability. These values get reinforced at the annual Global Coworking UnConference. So in many cases, it’s not simply the case that a person is going to work; they’re also part of a social movement.

They have more job control. Coworking spaces are normally accessible 24/7. People can decide whether to put in a long day when they have a deadline or want to show progress, or can decide to take a long break in the middle of the day to go to the gym. They can choose whether they want to work in a quiet space so they can focus, or in a more collaborative space with shared tables where interaction is encouraged. They can even decide to work from home, without repercussion, if they need to meet a repairperson or deal with a family member need.

And while coworkers value this autonomy, we also learned that they equally value some form of structure in their professional lives. Too much autonomy can actually cripple productivity because people lack routines. Coworkers reported that having a community to work in helps them create structures and discipline that motivates them. Thus, paradoxically, some limited form of structure enables an optimal degree of control for independent workers.

They feel part of a community. Connections with others are a big reason why people pay to work in a communal space, as opposed to working from home for free or renting a nondescript office. Each coworking space has its own vibe, and the managers of each space go to great lengths to cultivate a unique experience that meets the needs of their respective members. Grind, for example, is a growing network of coworking spaces in New York and Chicago. Anthony Marinos, who oversees Grind’s marketing, community management, and member services, shared with us, “When it comes to cultivating our community at Grind, we’re all about the human element. We consider ourselves as much a hospitality company as we do a workspace provider. Our staff knows all of our members by name and profession, and we’re constantly facilitating introductions between Grindists.”

WeWork, which recorded a valuation of $5 billion last December, emphasizes how it “seek[s] to create a place you join as an individual, ‘me’, but where you become part of a greater ‘we.’”

Importantly, however, socializing isn’t compulsory or forced. Members can choose when and how to interact with others. They are more likely to enjoy discussions over coffee in the café because they went to the café for that purpose – and when they want to be left alone elsewhere in the building, they are. And while our research found that some people interact with fellow coworkers much less than others, they still felt a strong sense of identity with the community. We believe this comes from coworkers knowing there is the potential for interactions when they desire or need them.
So what are the implications for traditional companies? Even though the coworking movement has its origins among freelancers, entrepreneurs, and the tech industry, it’s increasingly relevant for a broader range of people and organizations. In fact, coworking can become part of your company’s strategy, and it can help your people and your business thrive. An increasing number of companies are incorporating coworking into their business strategies in two ways.

First, they’re being used as an alternative place for people to work. Michael Kenny, Managing Partner of San Diego-based Co-Merge, told us, “In the past year and a half, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the use of the space by enterprise employees. We have seen teams come in to use various on-demand meeting rooms. We have users from global companies of size ranging from several hundred to several thousand employees who use the space not only to allow their distributed workers to get productive work done, but also to attract employees who demand flexible workplace and work time.”

Grind is also witnessing growth in the number of remote workers who are becoming members. “We haven’t had to reach out to larger organizations, they actually tend to just come to us,” Anthony Marinos says. “We’ve had employees from Visa, journalists from the Chicago Tribune, and even people affiliated with large financial institutions all work out of Grind.”

Spending time away from the office at a coworking space can also spark new ideas. Rebecca Brian Pan, the founder of COVO and former chief operating officer of NextSpace, explained how Ricoh’s innovation team worked out of NextSpace Santa Cruz for several months to observe how people work and where they hit pain points. Based on member insight and feedback, and their own observations, the Ricoh team explored several new products that could help members in their daily work and chose the most highly rated product to pursue. From this effort, Ricoh later launched this product globally as their Smart Presenter, a paperless meeting solution.

Second, the lessons of coworking spaces can be applied to corporate offices. Just as it’s important to encourage flexibility and support your mobile workforce, there is an equally important reality of creating the right kind of work environment inside your own walls. But this doesn’t just mean creating open plan layouts or adding a coffee bar.

In reality, people need to be able to craft their work in ways that give them purpose and meaning. They should be given control and flexibility in their work environment — many companies are increasingly adopting the best planning practice of providing a 1:1 ratio (or close to it) of desk seats to seats in shared settings used for either collaborative work or quiet work.

Companies are also trying to enable more connections, helping people to interact and build community beyond work meetings. Coworking spaces are one place to look for guidance, as they regularly offer networking events, training programs, social events, and even summer camp. Some companies are going even, further, however. Rich Sheridan and James Goebel, founders of Menlo Innovations in Ann Arbor, Michigan, recently expanded their office space by 7,000 square feet so that so that start-ups and early stage entrepreneurs can work alongside Menlo programmers to spur community and innovation.

In a way, the company is reverse-engineering its office into a coworking space.

Our research — which is ongoing — suggests that the combination of a well-designed work environment and a well-curated work experience are part of the reason people who cowork demonstrate higher levels of thriving than their office-based counteraparts. But what matters the most for high levels of thriving is that people who cowork have substantial autonomy and can be themselves at work. Our advice to traditional companies who want to learn from coworking spaces is to give people the space and support to be their authentic best selves. The result will be employees who feel more committed to your organization, and are more likely to bring their best energy and ideas to the office each day. Even if it is corporate headquarters.

It is always sound business practice to keep expenses low, especially if you are just starting. If you need an office or command centre, but don’t have the money or energy to spend on the administrative duties that come with running an office, then check out the following benefits that coworking offers:

1. Low start-up cost

Coworking spaces offer freelancers and individual entrepreneurs a chance to work in a fully equipped office without worrying about the costs of setting up an actual office. By getting a shared space, you can easily operate your business without needing to compute and allocate funds for building rent, fire insurance, office equipment and various other expenses that come with starting a business.

Even if you can afford it, the time spent on sourcing equipment and furniture, talking to contractors and getting licenses is precious resource that should go to building your business.

With a shared office, everything is already set, you just plug and play.

2. Flexibility

It is extremely easy to scale up a shared office space as you grow your business. You can tailor your contract to suit a one-man business, a team of 2, or a company of 5. There’s a meeting space that can accommodate up to 10 people or a larger conference room for a bigger group. There’s a members’ lounge, phone booths, mailbox service and even stand-up desks.

3. Central location

Your clients won’t have a hard time finding you because shared offices are centrally located in Delhi/NCR. If you are renting your own office, you might need to sacrifice location for low monthly rent. By going for a shared office, you get an address in the heart of the business district with 24/7 access to transportation, cafés, gym and even shopping boutiques.

4. Networking opportunities

Renting space in a shared office comes with the added perk of being surrounded by goal oriented and high-achieving people. This is an opportunity to network with small business owners, edge thinkers, professional freelancers and other entrepreneurs.

Being part of a coworking community means you are surrounded by potential partners, clients or mentors. You can easily outsource great talents to help you with specific projects or time sensitive tasks.

5. Promotes work-life balance

“All work no play” is a phenomenon you’ll never experience when you’re in a shared office. Coworking spaces are great as they promote work-life balance by providing venues to de-stress and recharge during a day of tiring work. Aside from weekly social events, different health and wellness activities are regularly being held for the benefit of its members. Most shared offices have a dedicated space for meditation if you need a little time for yourself and even a room for a little nap. A game area is also waiting to accommodate you so you can stretch your muscles while your brain is busy thinking up a solution to work challenges. Plus, there’s a fully functional shower room in case you need one.

Co-working spaces essentially work around the concept of leasing office infrastructure and resources to individuals or groups of people, often on a subscription basis. In addition to flexible working hours, these centres foster an innovation-inspiring atmosphere, bringing together groups of like-minded people under one roof.

“The idea was essentially to set up a plug-and-play option for anyone looking for a serviced office space,” says Grandslam Developers, Director, Ashok Chaudhary. “When people start their own businesses, they need to experience the exchange of ideas while maintaining a wide network of connections. With co-working spaces, we give them the option of picking up contacts from simply working together, thereby bringing much more value to people running businesses,” he says.

GD is one of the latest entrants tapping the surge in demand for coworking spaces in Noida. Launched in February this year, its in-house collaborative office is about 65,000 sq ft spread across three floors. In addition to a desk and other paraphernalia, it also has a conference room, various entertainment facilities including access to a gym, private telephone areas and plays host to various networking events.

Coffee shops losing steam?

Perhaps the days of disheveled young people in sweats slouching in front of laptops or of animated discussions over coffee about the next big idea may still press on. But, with co-working hubs taking extra care to cultivate a creative atmosphere, cafes may just become old school. “What would make these spaces a success are the leads you may get just sitting around the lounge, hanging out at the poolside or simply playing chess with someone,” say Ashok Chaudhary

Since then I have been “self-employed” (read: running a startup on nothing but hopes and dreams) and working at a variety of coworking spaces throughout Noida.

The Environment – After leaving my desk job, I spent a few weeks cruising local coffee shops, but I was largely unenthused about spending 8-10 hours (or 12-14 hours) cramped at a tiny table, surrounded by hipsters and grad students with mediocre wifi to boot. When I started coworking, I really began to appreciate what it meant to have a professional workspace. Even though I didn’t have a dedicated desk, the environment screams “Get-Work-Done” in a way that coffee shops and cubicles just can’t match. Also, trying to have a meeting with more than one person in a coffee shop is not only difficult; it’s also not professional. For the past few months, I’ve been sharing comfortable, open-layout office space with professionals from different industries…and that’s pretty awesome.

The Melting Pot – Unlike traditional workplaces where everyone is working for the same company, it’s refreshing to work alongside people from different industries and backgrounds. In the past two months, I’ve worked alongside professional athletes, adventure filmmakers, DJ’s, PhD students, architects, and more. Additionally, many people are from different countries including England, Russia, Croatia, and Ukraine. In my last job, I worked in a small room with nine male mechanical engineers who lived in Delhi/NCR. They were all talented, but it wasn’t exactly a diverse crew. As a young engineer who is trying to start a business, I’m finding a lot of value in meeting a wide range of professionals. I’ve seen more cool projects in the past three months while coworking than I’ve seen in the past three years…and that’s pretty awesome.
Low Overhead – Coworking requires very little thought, effort, and money on the part of the worker. In exchange for reasonable monthly (or daily) rates, you don’t have to worry about leases, printers, wifi, paying bills, coffee, furniture, projectors or anything else that comes with having your own office. Good coworking spaces take care of these details for you, saving valuable brainpower that you can use for more exciting and meaningful things. Ultimately, I pay less for coworking each month than I paid for my commuting costs to my old job…and that’s pretty awesome.
Community Engagement – The coworking spaces I’ve been to are consistently running different events to support their community. The events have ranged from fundraising, to filing trademarks, to hackathons, to choosing the right founders, and even taboo topics like how to kill your startup. At the climbing gym coworking space, there are multiple yoga classes every day and the gym routinely hosts large events focused on music, art or outdoor gear. As someone trying to enter the outdoor industry, the community support from the gym has been invaluable for my business, my fitness level, and my sanity. I’ve found a community to keep me focused while having fun…and that’s pretty awesome.
Beer, Coffee, and Fun – The more time I spend in the Noida startup scene, the more I see the focus on beer, coffee and fun (not to mention a crazy amount of hard work). Every coworking space I’ve been to provides free coffee. Win! Many of them sponsor weekly happy hours with free beer. Also a win! In general, they are a more fun place to work. Triple win! I firmly believe that beer, coffee, and fun help to stimulate networking, creativity, and happiness…and that’s pretty awesome.

Coworking spaces – where freelancers, entrepreneurs, and other independent workers pay a fee to share a workspace and benefit from working in the presence of one another – are hot. More than 160,000 people worldwide are members of over 3,000 coworking spaces, according to a recent report by DeskMag.com and Emergent Research, up from just 20,000 workers in 500 spaces in 2010.

Over 40 coworking spaces around the United States, analyzed the websites of over 100 U.S. coworking spaces, visited a handful of spaces in major U.S. cities, and spent several months as participant observers in one local coworking community in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Given the coolness factor of coworking spaces – especially those that attract members with hip design and high levels of service – we figured that their design had something to do with the success of the phenomenon. But we wondered what other factors drove the success of the coworking model. Several interesting insights emerged.

Coworking fosters personal growth and community building

In his recent book, The Purpose Economy, social entrepreneur Aaron Hurst writes how coworking spaces are a powerful tool for cultivating community among a new class of workers who are driven to organize their professional lives around continuous personal growth, meaningful relationships, and the service of something greater than themselves.

One of the aims of the coworking movement is to provide people with a safe space where they can be themselves at work. But it also encourages members to explore shared interests with one another and collaborative opportunities that go beyond daily work routines. Grind, for example, a New York-based coworking space that participated in our study, offers tips to its members on how to move beyond their natural comfort zone and meet fellow members.

We also found learning to be a necessary component of what makes coworking a successful model. Member education is an explicit part of the mission of many coworking spaces. We saw spaces supporting member education, member support networks, and access to professional development opportunities and mentorship. Many spaces also host social events like happy hours, networking events, and guest lectures in order to reinforce learning and community building.

The most successful build “just right” communities

That is, just right in that they involve newcomers as much or as little as they want, without any pressure.

Unlike a traditional shared rental office where people largely want a quiet professional space to work without being bothered by others, many coworking spaces curate an experience that allows potential members to try the space and meet other members to see if there is a fit.

But unlike a traditional work organization that does this through the hiring process, coworking has low switching costs for members and doesn’t actually commit them to any aspect of the work experience that is meaningless to them. The result is that coworking gives a non-overbearing sense of belonging to those who want to be part of the community.

Coworking isn’t just for start-ups and freelancers

Although the earliest coworking communities were organized to provide an alternative to coffee shops or working at home to freelancers and entrepreneurs, we learned that coworking spaces are reaching diverse segments of the workforce. We found some spaces catering to writers and artists by emphasizing affordability and an atmosphere of creativity, for example. Others, including some of the most welcoming communities in our sample, attract women entrepreneurs.

But coworking also helps people keep good jobs with conventional employers in cases when, for example, they are forced to move for a spouse’s job change. In fact, 21% of U.S. sites explicitly market to remote workers, and one-third of our survey respondents were employed full-time by some other company. On average, these individuals are spending 65% of their time working from a coworking space.

“We have seen individuals who come in to avoid the commute to their traditional office space,” says Michael Kenny, managing partner of San Diego-based Co-Merge, a space that participated in our study. At Co-Merge, users from Accenture, Groupon, and Citrix are using the space on a regular basis. Co-Merge also has members who remotely work full-time for companies in other major cities such as Baltimore, Chicago, and Washington.

It’s the authentic sense of community where intrinsically motivated people who experience a sense of purpose in their work and thrive together that substantiates the coworking movement. Given these qualities, we expect to see a growing number of flexible workers try coworking — and a growing number of employers embracing coworking as a tool to help their increasingly mobile and flexible workforce to do their best work.

What is coworking?  Coworking is the new, flexible way to go to work that meets the needs of the modern workforce.  You rent the space you need from an office to a cubicle to a table in a common area.  The feel of each coworking community is different, so try out the ones in your neighborhood. Many give free day passes just for this reason.  Some focus on gender, or a specific industry, while others aim to attract the younger crowd and still others make it an inviting work space for all industries.

Here are some of the top 10 reasons why you may want to ditch the coffee house, or your kitchen table and move into a coworking space.

1.     A ready- made office

You don’t have to purchase a desk, chair, printer or cables.  Just come on in, sit down and get to work!  And don’t forget about the unlimited coffee!

2.    A community & resources

When you join a coworking space, you become integrated into a community who are passionate about their work and successes. This creates a workplace filled with highly-motivated people who in turn motivate you toward achieving your goals.

Resources abound at a coworking space.  What do you need?  Are you seeking someone with whom to consult, give or get referrals, expand your knowledge?   All of these are at your fingertips once you join the coworking space that is right for you.

3.    Network without trying

At a coworking space, you are stepping into a bounty of networking opportunities. You’ll meet exciting people with interesting projects and common interests.   Many coworking spaces also host happy hours, events and seminars, giving you even more chances to network without having to go out to a new location.

4.    A real meeting place

You may be comfortable going to the cafe to meet your existing or potential clients, but have you ever thought about what it looks like to your clients when the people at the table next to you are loud, rude or obnoxious? Or maybe your clients want to talk about a proprietary process or business idea and don’t want to do it within hearing distance of others.  Your office at the café may be costing you a new client or an opportunity to land that next big account.  Belonging to a coworking space gives you access to a private conference room with amenities such as video hookups and wifi to make your presentation pop. It also provides an atmosphere that shows your client that you are serious about your business. Try pulling that off at the café!

5.     Get your happy on

Belonging to a coworking space will make you happier.  Yes, that is a bold statement, but you’ll be happier because your productivity will go through the roof!  And when you’re happy, you’re more positive.  Happiness + Positivity = Productivity!  Consider a coworking space as an investment in your future productivity, creativity and happiness.  Now, that’s a priceless combination!

6.     Guilt-free coffee

Do you feel guilted into purchasing a cup of coffee just to get the new wifi code?  Are you tired of all the glaring looks you get from the baristas for sitting so long at the same table? Then it’s time for a change. Leave your guilt at home. Promise yourself from this day forward that you’re going to invest in a work space that treats you like the professional you are—and provides unlimited coffee, consistent and fast wifi and other services.  Find one that fits your work needs, your personality and your caffeine requirements!

7.    Space to grow your team

Your company is growing from one to two people.  Where are you going to put your new employee? In the dining room?  The bedroom, perhaps?   Moving your company to a coworking space will allow you to purchase just enough room for you and your new hire, and if need be, your next hire and the one after that.  All of that without a long-term lease.  The coworking philosophy is built on flexibility, community and success—three essential elements needed to grow any company.

8.    Learn something new

Many coworking spaces offer learning opportunities, such as community presentations, free workshops, seminars, mastermind groups, and more.  You and your employees will have these educational opportunities at your fingertips without ever having to leave the office—a huge savings just in travel time and costs.

9.     Work and life are out of balance

Working at home has some advantages. You can stay in your pajamas all day, and shower at your leisure.  It also brings interruptions from your personal life—friends calling, household chores calling your name, and errands to do–creating an imbalance between what you want to do at home and what needs to be done to grow your business.  Restore the balance in your life. Move to a coworking space and put boundaries between your work time and down time.  Does this mean you won’t be occasionally answering that email in the middle of the night? No, but you’ll have the option to wait until morning, until you get back to the office.

10.    No place else like a coworking space

Once you decide what you need to grow your business, you’ll be able to narrow down the kind of space that works for you. Do you want to stay close to home, or is being part of a community that is in line with your business goals more important?  Do you want to be part of coworking space that only focuses on a particular industry, such as IT?  Or one that is open to many types of businesses and new ventures?  A space dedicated for women?  Or one that is open and welcome to all?

Ask yourself these questions, write down your answers, and use this article as a guide. Decide what’s important to you, and if it is in line with your business goal for the year.  Whatever you choose, joining a coworking space may be the most important thing you can do to take your idea from a hobby to a business, toward growth and profitability.
