Misconceptions about Co-Working Spaces

Co-working is a somewhat new concept in the business world. With companies such as the almost defunct WeWork leading the industry, the new working wave has taken the business world by storm. At DataTech we offer a unique solution to Co-working that we feel is the best of both worlds. Let us dispel some popular myths about this type of work.

Popular Co-Working Myths

Co-Working is a Fad

Many people who have been in the business world since the 80s and 90s feel that co-working is a fad made popular by millennials. This is not true, co-working helps to foster a better workplace environment and promotes a more inclusive style of doing business. Within the right company, co-working works a lot better than the old cubical style of office space.

It is for Start-Ups

Co-working can be seen as a trend for start-up tech companies in Silicon Valley. While this is true, many companies in the Fortune 500 use the co-working style of office space. IBM and Microsoft have adopted this style of workspace with great success.

Co-Working is Temporary

Another common misconception is that co-working is a temporary solution for businesses. While this may have been true as the start, many companies are releasing that a co-working style office increases productivity greatly. As stated above, some of the world’s largest companies are using co-working offices permanently.

It’s Only in Big Cities

Often seen as a “big city” idea, co-working spaces often target suburbs and small communities. As the cost of living within major cities see employees move further out, co-working spaces follow suit. The idea of bringing the office closer to employees is something that co-working companies actively try to do.
