The Power of Co: How Coworking Can Help You Grow in Life
With the unprecedented changes the world has seen over the past several years, remote work has become a popular model among businesses of all sizes. Working outside the office has numerous benefits, including increased flexibility and a better balance between work and home life. Coworking spaces can provide these benefits and many more, as we’ll discuss below.
Improving Mental Health by Decreasing Isolation
Solitude and isolation are some of the biggest problems faced by today’s remote workers. Corporate policies and the expectation of constant availability put added strain on employees, even when they’re away from the office.
Studies show that working alone may worsen mental health issues and work-related stressors in some individuals. According to one study, over 40% of employees said that their jobs played a key role in their mental problems, with almost 18% saying that isolation was the sole cause. A decrease in human interaction can, with time, affect a person’s well-being.
Although companies everywhere are trying to mitigate the effects of isolation with team-building exercises, Zoom meetings, and virtual ‘water cooler’ time, the effort only goes so far—and it’s impossible to get the benefits of person-to-person interaction through a screen. When remote workers and companies find it difficult to maintain personal connections, coworking spaces offer the right solution.
Reducing Stress
Anxiety and stress are major contributors to employee dissatisfaction, even among those who work outside the office. Working from home has its benefits, but it also has its drawbacks—such as the inability to draw the line between personal and work life. Unclear boundaries, along with the isolation of the at-home work environment, can create more anxiety. Coworking spaces, however, stimulate mental growth by decreasing stress.
Facilitating Interpersonal Connections and Face-to-Face Interactions
As we’ve all discovered, at-home work is still exhausting, and the feelings of disconnection between coworkers and managers can be all too real. Working in shared spaces helps employees form lasting, meaningful connections and build their professional networks, and personal interaction is one of the primary benefits of the coworking environment. In a Success Space, workers get to meet people from all levels of society —which allows them to see their work from a unique perspective.
Helping Employees Feel Like They Fit In
Vibrant, eclectic coworking environments don’t just change workers’ perspectives; they also create a sense of unity. Working in such an environment provides endless opportunities for growth, collaboration, and creativity, and it gives a person a chance to become part of a thriving community.

A change of venue can shake up a person’s work life, inspiring them to work harder and become more productive. Coworking spaces such as Success Space are open, roomy, and comfortable, with all the tech amenities that make work possible.

Freedom and Flexibility
Thanks to the internet, the 9-5 workday is no longer the norm. Today’s coworking spaces give people the ability to arrive and leave when they please, and employers also get the chance to create schedules that suit themselves and their teams. Finally, coworking is the ideal solution for companies looking to hire workers in other areas; it reduces the need for costly and time-consuming relocations.
Cost-Efficiency
Companies that rent office space typically incur extra costs, especially when employees look for perks such as free snacks and coffee. Modern coworking spaces offer these and other benefits at a low monthly rate, and they also offer business mail and other services that help organizations boost their bottom lines.
Mentorship and Inspiration
Success Space is a place where startup owners, professionals, freelancers, entrepreneurs, artists, and others come together to enjoy continued opportunities for growth and development. The people who use our coworking spaces share the same challenges, ambitions, and triumphs, even when their goals are different. At Success Space, every day is another opportunity for inspiration, growth, and mentorship.
Scalability for Future Growth
When a business owner seeks office space, it can be tough to find something that’s short-term and affordable. With the average commercial lease lasting three to five years, it’s a big commitment that many startup owners just aren’t ready to make.
On the other hand, coworking spaces give business owners a chance to scale up when needed. Although it’s a significant investment, the ability to work with us in the short term, as well as the other services we provide, makes our coworking spaces a compelling alternative to traditional office space rentals.
