Teams discover vendors and potential clients at the co-
working space. Meetings often turn into lasting impressions
that lead to professional engagements at later stages.
There is no other avenue available for small teams, which
creates such water-cooler conversations within employees
of different companies.

A sense of community and belongingness is essential to
ensure cutting-edge work. It is seen that employees that take
pride in their workplace, perform remarkably better than the rest, and a coworking space
ensures just that.

Creating a seamless workspace with facilities such as a gym,
pantry or a relaxing zone might not be financially feasible, if
your team size is very small. A co-working space introduces
shared resources and common areas, making everything
available without even stepping out of the office campus.
Resource sharing

working out of well-designed, professionally maintained offices. They take pride in their desk-spaces and cabins and
the space becomes their identity. Co-working
spaces improve a brand’s look and feel to
a potential hire.

Employees in small teams typically limit their
professional and social lives to their teams alone.
A co-working space drastically changes this situation. With at least twenty different teams
working on the same floor, it is highly likely you run into a new person every
single day.

With most conversations happening in the open,
requests for help, inputs and leads are heard and responded to directly.
Some co-working spaces also provide notice boards that advertise needs and
requirements both in terms of vendor engagements as
well as employment opportunities.
