Why Coworking Spaces are Perfect for Hybrid Work Models

By |2023-11-01T10:36:39-04:00November 14th, 2022|Coworking Office Space, Shared Office Space|

What is a Hybrid Work Model? A hybrid workplace model is a style of work that combines working remotely and working on-site. Managers decide how many days per week staff members need to be on-site and how many days they can work remotely. Sometimes, staff members are allowed to decide for themselves when they want to come into the office, and in other scenarios, managers may implement a policy where staff must come to the office 3 days a week and can work remotely 2 days a week. Policies may change depending on the needs of the company. For example, if there is a group project with a fast-approaching deadline, managers may ask certain employees to come into the office more days a week than usual. On the other hand, during a slower period, staff may be allowed to work remotely for the entire week. When people are forced into [...]

Pros and Cons of Hot Desking

By |2023-11-01T10:44:12-04:00July 29th, 2022|Coworking Office Space, Shared Office Space|

The term hot desking originated in Chicago in the 1990s. The idea came from the phrase hot racking when sailors would share bunk beds on a ship. The sailors would work in shifts, and once their shift was over they would take the first available bunk bed they found. Hot desking works in a similar way. With hot desking people can reserve a seat at a desk whenever they need one, for however long they need it. Once they are done using it, that space will become available for the next person to reserve. Desk space can be shared among people from different professional backgrounds and industries which opens the floor to new collaborations. Alternatively, you could choose to rent a room for a group of people. Hot desking offers a flexible solution to ever-changing work dynamics. Pros Save on unnecessary costs One of the biggest advantages of hot desking [...]

By |2023-12-14T12:02:59-05:00May 29th, 2022|Growth & Innovation, Shared Office Space, Virtual Office|

Before explaining how to become a distributor from home, it is important to explain what a distributor is. Basically, a distributor is a middle person that serves to move products from the manufacturer to the market. While some distributors are retail and sell directly to end users, others are merchant-oriented and sell and move products from the manufacturer to wholesalers, that in turn sell to retailers. Understanding what is a wholesale business The practice of wholesale distribution is a true buying and selling game and can involve risk. It is a game that requires good negotiation skills, a nose for sniffing out the next “hot” item in the particular category you are known for, and good salesmanship to find the right buyers. The basic premise is to buy the product at a low price, then make a profit by tacking on a low enough dollar amount that it still makes […]

Coworking versus Shared Office Space: Which is better for your small business?

By |2022-02-28T12:43:16-05:00May 27th, 2019|Coworking Office Space, Shared Office Space|

Coworking has been all the rage for the past decade, but there’s a lot that small business owners don’t know about the differences between coworking and shared office space facilities (also called office business centres or executive suites). The main reason for this confusion is that some large corporate chains of business centres and executive suites have started to claim that what they’re offering are coworking spaces – without really knowing what the original coworking philosophy was all about. When you look coworking up on Wikipedia, you’ll find this explanation: “Coworking is a social gathering of a group of people who are still working independently, but who share values and who are interested in the synergy that can happen from working with people who value working in the same place alongside each other.” Notice that the key words are “social gathering” and “share values” – meaning that true coworking is [...]
