The Benefits of Virtual Coworking
Working alone doesn’t have mean working lonely, and it doesn’t have to mean working alone at all. Virtual coworking gives you the ability to experience the same collaboration and community from the comfort of your own home. As we move to more online ways of working together we are still committed to providing easy ways to grow your community and build your network. Although virtual coworking does look different from the in-person environment there are lots of benefits that can’t be replicated in an in-person setting.
Coworking is no longer limited to the proximity of the space. The online coworking sessions give the opportunity to connect with a wider variety of people from all over the city and province. You can exchange ideas and get feedback from people with who you might not have connected with before.
Virtual coworking also gives you the ability to connect with people who are there for the exact same reasons you are. In an in-person setting, some are there just to use a desk or office with less of a focus on working and collaborating with others. When you join online coworking sessions you know every other person on the call is there to share and receive ideas, feedback, and energy.
Working in-person is a great way to see your community and work in proximity to others. The work-from-home life often leaves people feeling isolated and disconnected, joining a virtual coworking community gives you that burst of energy, extra motivation, and accountability that is missing from the WFH system. It’s truly the perfect balance of working remotely and experiencing the same teamwork and sense of community as before.
Motivation can be increasingly fleeting as remote working continues to grow, online coworking brings you together with others who also have important projects to complete. Being surrounded by productive and driven people will help you stay motivated when distractions are all around.
Joining an online coworking program does so much more than just provide you with a virtual desk and coworkers, we bring weekly speaker sessions, coffee chat check-ins, and community building events that give you a chance to meet and bond with people outside of a workplace setting.
