WHY COWORK SPACES ARE THE BEST FOR FREELANCERS
For a corporate employee stuck in a daily 8-5 office hours, the opportunity to control one's own work hours from anywhere would seem like a dream. With the rise of digital economy, freelancing gave birth to a lot of work opportunities for the “gig economy”. By the start of next year, it is said that 1 out of 5 workers will become a freelancer or remote employee.
In line with this, most freelancers choose to work in their own time and in the comfort of their own homes. While working at home sounds like a huge win, factors like loss of electricity, intermittent connection, or distractions like children/pets can cause a home-based freelancer to lessen their productivity. This is a major no-no for employers.
This is why coworking in Manila, Philippines has become more and more popular for freelancers and employers alike. Picture a place that has no heavy constraint of a corporate vibe but is still conducive for 101% productivity. Freelancers who have been coworking in Manila Philippines say that cowork spaces are definitely game changers.
First, it has given them an opportunity to list a prime business address. From Manila, Makati, BGC to Ortigas, having their city buildings as an address surely gave a boost to their business name. Cowork spaces have also given them the chance to network and connect themselves with other freelancers/employers for more career and job opportunities. Lastly, they have access to amenities like fully equipped and furnished conference rooms. These have helped them make the right impression for all those Skype calls with their employers.
On the employer side, many of them choose to station their remote workers in cowork spaces because it is cost-efficient yet a very effective way of increasing process productivity.
Overall, cowork spaces are definitely the future of flexible work. If you have further questions, message us @ CoWorking in Manila Philippines!
