Location is key! For the majority of employers and employees, whether they be in small or big businesses, the place they start their day is a major determinant of their productivity and mood.
A critical factor in job trends for 2023 is satisfaction from selecting a suitable workplace. Coworking spaces, like HAYVN, foster collaboration and career success by enabling people to connect, share ideas, and learn about industry news in a productive, pleasing environment. It can benefit your career, whether you’re working in technology, healthcare, or e-commerce.
Coworking Leads to More Innovation
Even with the changes brought on by the pandemic, the office is still necessary. Coworking spaces are a great way to build a supportive network with peers from various industries, which is essential for career development and advancement.
Roughly 84% exceed expectations and 88% find their job purposeful when they have an enjoyable workplace. People need to feel like “they’re part of something that matters,” and the office reminds us of this. Here, we can share our knowledge and insights about our work and be in an inspiring atmosphere that encourages discussion.
That’s one of the reasons why entrepreneurs shift to coworking spaces. Researchers from Harvard, Georgia Tech, and MIT have studied this trend in a recent Wall Street Journal article.
Harvard Business School expert Maria P. Roche believes, “Environments matter, and being close to each other is especially important in knowledge based industries.” Working with other startups on the same floor led to sharing ideas about the types of technology used. They leveraged networking to implement some of the things they learned from peers into their company.
Coworking & Collaboration at HAYVN
The same benefits can be said when you become a member. Complete remote work limits our interaction, which is necessary for all development.
