Working from home can be isolating, so many have experienced this recently. However, creativity comes in shared spaces, whether you are an entrepreneur, work-from-home mom, small-business owner or remote employee. The U.S Chamber of Commerce offers that “shared working spaces provide small businesses, independent contractors and other workers a space to get work done, network and participate in their local business community.”
Benefits of using Co-Working spaces
- More networking opportunities
- Increased productivity
- Boost creativity
- Collaboration opportunities
- Cost-effective
- Greater flexibility
With many effects of the Covid-19 pandemic at bay, people seek spaces and opportunities to get out of their home offices into shared spaces with others. Many co-working spaces in Arkansas have reopened their environment for memberships and shared users. New working pods are developing, and people are getting back to work.
