As most people will tell you, working remotely has numerous benefits: no commute, flexible hours, and the ability to make your own schedule are just a few. But a few recently published studies show that there are many challenges to working remote and coworking benefits extend beyond the workspace.
Many of these challenges stem from lack of human interaction and missing out on the social aspects that a working environment and office often provide. According to the Harvard Business Review, studies show that lack of social interaction is more than just a social issue, it can also affect a person’s lifespan and their health.
So how can coworking spaces help? Studies conducted by Harvard show that work-related networking and social ties created in coworking spaces were highly beneficial to both the workers and their work.
According to the studies, members reported coworking benefits that drastically improved their work-life. Up to 84% of coworking space members reported that working in a coworking environment improved their work engagement and motivation.
And there are many coworking benefits beyond these as well that can help workers thrive. In addition to increasing social ties, coworking spaces provide infrastructure, networking opportunities, exposure to new technologies and businesses and so much more.
So whether you are an independent worker or work for a company remotely, the coworking benefits could be right for you! To read more about the findings of the study and see how coworking can help connect you with other people click on the link here.
