Coworking Spaces Increase Employee Engagement: Companies Benefit from an Improved Work Culture

Posted by Gather on Jul 11, 2023 4:03:23 PM

Research finds that many businesses are failing to recognize the importance of employee engagement. Instead of focusing on this key indicator of a thriving work culture, company leaders might focus too much on what makes their employees happy and satisfied.

While content employees do help create a successful company, leading studies demonstrate how maintaining quality engagement leads to better business outcomes and employees who want to stay. Through the capabilities of coworking spaces, businesses can revitalize their approach to employee engagement and improve their work culture.

FAQs: Flexible Workspace vs. Traditional Office Space

Posted by Gather on Jun 14, 2023 5:51:04 PM

One of the biggest expenses companies face every month is office space. Depending on the location, companies can spend thousands each month to accommodate their employees. Usually, these high costs arise from signing a lease for a traditional office space. However, as work trends shift towards hybrid and remote work, the advantages of flexible workspaces become increasingly valuable.

Flexible workspaces offer cost savings and flexibility for companies that prefer not to commit to a traditional office lease. In addition to being more cost-effective, flexible workspaces provide a wide range of workplace solutions compared to traditional office spaces. Whether you run a small business or a large enterprise, flexible workspaces offer the perfect amount of space you need at an affordable price.

How-to Guide: Determine How Much Office Space Your Team Truly Needs

Posted by Gather on May 1, 2023 1:59:36 PM

If you think through all the places you have worked, you will likely notice that they all have one thing in common: They are all very different. From company culture to physical location and in-office perks, there can be tremendous variability in working conditions, including the size and type of office space the business requires.

In our experience, we find that the following questions help to identify the type of workspace and size needed by new companies:

Do you plan to scale during the duration of your desired lease term? If so, what is your projected headcount?
How many, if any, of your staff members will need private offices?
Do your employees frequently hold meetings? What is the typical meeting size?
Will you need a full kitchen?
How much common space will you need for breaks, meals, or lounging?
Will you need any other types of spaces, such as reception areas, storage space, etc.?

If you're like most people, when you think of a content creator you think of your favorite influencer, a sponsored post, or a video that went viral.

According to Devrix it is estimated that more than 50 million people think of themselves as content creators. While most of them consider themselves amateurs, more than 2 million have made content creation their full time job and primary source of income.

And according to Yahoo the creator economy has grown to a staggering market size of over $104.2 billion and is increasing at a steady pace!

Who are these millions of content creators? They are podcasters, video creators, musicians, visual artists, writers and journalists, and gaming creators. If you create content of any sort consider yourself a content creator!

Along with this explosion of content creators have come spaces for these creative people to have a sense of community that supports their ideas and helps them reach their audience and make a sustainable living. These spaces are both digital and physical.

Gather accommodates Virginia's regional business traveler

Posted by Gather on Aug 23, 2022 1:27:04 PM

Business owners conversing at a coworking space.

Those of you who have traveled lately may have noticed how busy the airports and highways are. According to travel management company TripActions, business travel bookings for the first quarter of 2022 outpaced more than half of all bookings for 2021, with an 875% increase from March 2021 to March 2022. Travelers are also booking what are known as "bleisure" stays—that is business trips combined with a few extra days of leisure.

However, natural challenges arise for the frequent business traveler who seeks a productive work environment. During the pandemic, the hotel industry did a great job of pivoting to offer day use of their rooms as private, on demand offices, but that’s problematic going forward.
