Finding the right office space in 2019.

Image
Entrepreneurs of all kinds have one thing in common – they need space to work. A freelancer may not always want to work from home. A start-up founder knows that the team needs to be working together every day to establish their brand. A CEO or founder of a small, mid-sized or large corporate knows that employees need to be given equipment, space, and targets. All of this leads to one thing – productivity, and the tracking of the same. A comfortable space with access to essentials like food and beverages, topped off with a sociable setting is what makes work, work. But how do you find the right space?  Well, you can just go shopping. It’s almost 2019, and it’s a beautiful time for businessmen, IT start-ups and freelancers who have struggled with finding the right workspace. You can visit a shared office space in your city for a site visit and pick out an office space or a dedicated desk that suits your requirements. Business centres with serviced office spaces of...

Why every business needs a serviced office space

Image
If you are looking for your first or next office space, you would have gone over the pros and cons of moving into a traditional office space. You would have realized that you either need to buy an office space or move into a commercial office space, either on lease or rental basis. Getting a workspace is a costly affair but costs aside, you would have gone over the maintenance aspects as well. And perhaps this might have made you take a step back.

The logistics and mounting costs will certainly seem like a steep hill to climb. But don’t fret. There is a solution – Serviced office spaces, also known as shared office spaces, and they are here to keep your business functioning at the lowest cost, with absolute functionality.

Workafella aids Anita B.org’s efforts to empower women in IT

Image
Despite cultural changes and educational gains, India’s Labor Force Participation rate for women seems to be one of the lowest in the World. Forbes recently stated that India’s GDP will rise between 16% to 60% in 2025 if more women participated in India’s workforce. This would lead to at least an additional $770 billion increase in India’s GDP, which would make the democracy substantially richer. Ideally, the country should be supporting more women who seek to become professionals in various industries. India is shifting its dynamics in its own way, and opening up more opportunities for women to step up and take a stance in the business world. One organization that is challenging the odds and supporting women in the country, is Anita B.Org. Founded in 1987 by Anita Borg. The vision of this organization was to connect with, inspire and guide women who were making strides in the field of information technology and innovation. This social enterprise has supported women across t...

The role of women in today’s workforce is a powerful one, with more women being equipped with education, progressive independence and opportunities to climb the business ladder. It is a widely accepted fact that a dynamic team is a well performing team and coworking spaces have been able to provide what it takes to create a more progressive workforce. So how does a coworking space nurture gender diversity and empower women? Freelancers, part time workers, employees of corporate organizations and solopreneurs all flock to coworking spaces to finish their day’s work. Here, one does not choose to limit the number of women involved in the mix. Gender diversity in the workforce requires a work environment that supports everyone equally. People need to come together to contemplate, debate and collaborate on meaningful projects. Coworking spaces today are designed in a way that they are home to one and all – no race or gender barriers. Many coworking spaces like Workafella, fo...

Office Space and Productivity

Image
Productivity and office spaces open up a Pandora’s Box of ideas, arguments and factual information on how modern organizations are restructuring their workspaces to increase collaboration and to spark that essential innovation, which happens when people casually meet. During the time of Fredrick W Taylor, increasing operational efficiency at the workplace fundamentally meant arranging chairs and tables in an open space facing the supervisor. It was a time when organizations believed that supervision increased productivity and thereby scaled operational efficiency. The efficiency and productivity of workspaces since then has evolved leaps and bounds. Standing evidence to this are changed workspace environments of many tech giants and fortune 100 companies across the globe. In that case does collaboration really help? Does getting engineers and sales people talk improve performance? While we may not be able to actually narrow down on results a Harvard Business review by Waber...
