Coworking – “#2 Launch : Opening a coworking space” – CoWork.io publishes its 1st white paper dedicated to the management of flexible and collaborative workplaces!
The first white paper written as guide of best practices in the sector
With more than 10,000 [1] coworking spaces around the world and nearly 12,7001 expected by 2017, coworking is an exploding global phenomenon that is revolutionizing the working world.
How to get started in a market that is rapidly changing?
The main challenge for coworking space founders is to create a cost-effective and reliable long-term model, resisting the waves of trends that evolve over the months.
For the first time, a guide brings together all the best operational practices and data to lead a successful launching project and develop your own coworking space. Where to place your space? How to equip it? How many meeting rooms? A kitchen? What about the rates? How to market it?
How to take take part in the New World of Work revolution?
Participating in the promotion of viable models of shared and collaborative workplaces also means helping to transform ways of working for all workers. The number of telecommuters is growing at an annual rate of 69% [2], requiring companies to rethink their workplaces to make them more flexible (unassigned offices, shared living spaces, etc.), taking the example of coworking centers.
The white paper Opening a coworking space offers a 100% made in France approach that also adresses at all those (HR, management, general services) wishing to participate in the transformation of workplaces to meet the new needs of workers: nomadism, community, well-being and sustainable development.
Large businesses, incubators labs, or simple managers of shared office space, all the good recipes are in the white paper: Launch – create life and collaboration in your spaces!
