COWORK SPACES VS. TRADITIONAL OFFICES
Have you ever heard of a cowork space? Cowork spaces are essentially shared offices for individuals and businesses alike. You can rent out a room, an entire floor or just a cubicle on a short-term basis. The logic behind this is that cowork spaces aim to give the most flexible work solutions for freelancers and other businesses out there – take and pay for what you only need. In the Philippines, shared offices are slowly gaining popularity not only in Metro Manila. There are cowork spaces in Cebu City, Pampanga, Davao and other provinces.
The main difference between cowork spaces and traditional offices is that you don’t need to commit to a long-term financial obligation with your office lease. In a sense, you share maintenance responsibilities with other occupants as well. Fees are tiered in a way that it caters to clients with varying office needs. You just need to rent for 3 months? You just need a table? You want unlimited coffee and snacks? Whatever lease package you may need, cowork spaces can give you what you need.
Another difference is its culture. Because cowork spaces is a place for different freelancers and businesses, it has become a networking ground for them. Occupants are free to strike up conversations and introduce themselves and their services. You don’t get this type of opportunity in traditional offices. The modern design/interior also adds a hippier, more relaxing vibe to cowork spaces. It has a less stiff and less stressful atmosphere than that of a traditional office.
Overall, cowork spaces have proven to be a great alternative for people and businesses seeking offices outside of the traditional route.
