Boxworks Co-Working

EXIT GROUNDHOG DAY – SOLUTIONS TO REMOTE WORKING IS COWORKING 2021

Since March 2020, many employers have found themselves having to shift abruptly to flexible/remote working and perhaps the time has come to accept that these arrangements will no longer be temporary going forward.

In a recent Irish survey over 5,600 employees were asked; what are the top three challenges they faced while working from home through COVID 19 lockdowns?

Not being able to switch off from work
No Work Life Balance
No separation of workplace and home life
Collaboration and communication with colleagues more difficult
Poor physical workspace (Bedroom Desk, Kitchen Table)
Unable to concentrate because of family interruptions
Poor Productivity because it does not “feel like work”
When asked to if they would like to continue to work remotely after the crisis, (83%) of the participants indicated that distributed work is here to stay

The results of this Irish survey clearly show that remote/working from home, is here to stay. In trying to adapt to this new reality, many companies have announced that they are going fully remote or offering employees a hybrid approach. This option will achieve a more creative way of working and gives employees freedom and flexibility, while still preserving that human connection and company culture.

HOW BOXWORKS IS HERE TO HELP EMPLOYERS – (HERE COMES THE SCIENCE)!

Increased Productivity – Many studies show that between 75% and 90% of remote/co-workers have a strong sense of belonging, members feel more engaged, more motivated to work, and share a strong ethos of cross pollination by being part of a community of entrepreneurs.

No Agent Fees | No Maintenance Costs

Savings on Facilities – Working from Boxworks means minimising your costs in many areas including: electricity, water, monthly costs of coffee food snacks milk etc., all these are savings in addition to a business’ profits of 55% over the year for items such as catering, heating, lighting, utilities, running costs and cleaning.

Office Fitting – The space is decorated and can be configured on request

Pay for the Office, Not the Facilities – As opposed to renting a leased office, you only pay for the space that you need in a coworking office. Facilities like toilets, kitchens, meeting rooms and break rooms are communal, managed facilities. The coworking office provider takes care of these so that you only pay for the desk/office that you use. This can provide huge savings for a company

Networking – Although this is not technically a money-saving point, the opportunities to network in coworking space can provide am extra source of income and help your company’s growth. Coworking offices are packed with small to medium-sized businesses and the networking possibilities are endless.

Flexible Space – as your needs grow your space can grow

Better Mental Health for Employees – Around 82% of telecommuters have lower stress levels than in-house workers. Stress is a big contributor to mental health problems like anxiety and depression; cutting this is obviously crucial to a productive workforce.

Work Schedule

One of the huge benefits of hiring remote teams is that work can be done around the clock – and not just during office hours at the location where your team is based. Boxworks has a 24/7 access policy allowing members to create their own work schedule and so gives them the freedom to come and go.

Future Trends – Remote working is a trend that many companies are looking to adopt in the future and trends show that many have already taken the plunge. If you feel like the benefits of remote working for employers benefits you, we offer a no-lease, low rent, pay by month agreement where every employee aligned to one of our spaces has 24/7 access, access to team meeting rooms, reception/recreational area, and while there may be some exceptions based on team and role, employees will also have flexibility to relocate outside of locations where we currently have offices. Utilisation of Boxworks space can vary by team needs and have already set up our second space as remote workers concentration changes.

Since April 2020 Boxworks has seen an increased use of our designated desk and office space in both our city centre locations, Patrick Street and John’s Lane. We are living through a challenging time and coworking has not stopped – it is adapting, and we believe this ‘new normal’ brings an opportunity to redesign the way we connect with the world of enterprise.
