Six Benefits of Coworking
Get Out of Your House and Into Your Creative Mind at InDo Nashville
We have all felt the soul-crushing blow of 2020, and going from bustling offices to working from home, isolated and overwhelmed, feeling that monotony of Groundhogs Day and with the sound Talking Heads “Same As It Ever Was, Same As It Ever Was” on repeat in your mind. Are you tired of balancing Zoom calls while folding laundry, the Wi-Fi going out in the middle of a conference call, and trying to remember if you put on pants? Do you find your motivation lacking and ambition drained? Or are you and your significant other or roommates both fighting for space for virtual meetings and conference calls? We have all discovered that working from home isn’t quite the dream we thought it would be.
Don’t fret! Coworking could provide the perfect solution for you. Whether you need to just get out of the house once in a while or 24 hour space to grow your business, InDo Nashville has options to jumpstart your success. Here are a few of the top reasons given by your members on why Coworking sparks their motivation and creativity.
Work / Life Balance
We're all familiar with the importance of boundaries, but rarely do we think about the importance of them when it comes to work. With all of the changes 2020 has brought, it’s been more challenging than ever to find the right balance. Our members let us know that working at InDo helps them separate work from home and providing boundaries around working 24/7. It helps them disconnect from the stress of housework, kids, and provides them with headspace to think and focus on work. They report an increase in productivity and creativity.
Team Space
While many larger office buildings remain closed, our Coworking space offers a safe, socially distanced environment, for working and in-person team meetings. Several of our members use our space for monthly or weekly team meetings. They have all reported how uplifting and inspiring it has been to safely gather with their co-workers at InDo. There is nothing like in-person. At InDo we follow the latest CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of Covid-19 creating the space you need to get work done. Our new UV Air System provides state of the art filtration, and we always open the windows to circulate fresh air when weather permits.
Build Your Network
No matter how much we may enjoy spending time with our family or being accompanied by our furry friends at home, many of us are missing the social aspects of our work environment. Whether it’s at the printer station or filling up on a second cup of coffee (lucky for you, ours is unlimited), that 8 a.m. small talk is something we’ve all found ourselves missing. Coworking spaces allows you to work alongside others to beat the quarantine loneliness while retaining a safe social distance. Our members report being inspired by shared ideas and connections made while working at InDo.
Amenities and Services
The standard Wi-fi many of us use at home for browsing social media, shopping online, or catching up on the latest season of our favorite Netflix show isn’t usually dependable for important Zoom calls or live telecons. Corporations pay millions a year for high-speed internet services in order to maximize efficiency among their employees and that ultimately saves time and money. At InDo, we provide free high-speed 5G internet that gives you the service (and the peace of mind) that you can rely on– muffled mics and frozen screens are a now thing of the past. We provide coffee, tea and water too. Several of our members who are musicians have used InDo for streaming live music performances, because their home wi-fi can’t support the demands of streaming high-quality music.
All Access, Anytime
Many entrepreneurs and young professionals don’t have the need to stick to the rigid nine to five. Some of our members are night owls who are most productive late at night and others like to work on the weekends. With flexible hours, a Coworking space like InDo can be just the perfect solution. At InDo, we offer 24/7 key fob access to provide you with a calm and productive environment for whenever that spark of motivation hits. Some of our members even trade-out with their spouses taking turns coming in to work while the other works from home.
Growth Space
Pivoting in this chaotic business environment has found many entrepreneurs creating new businesses or adding new services. Growing a new business without the overhead of a long-term office lease is a huge benefit to Coworking. InDo offers open coworking space, individual dedicated mini-offices called Uncubicles, and office suites, which accommodate all levels of enterprises. Several of the tenants in our private office suites have grown from coworking to a level where they wanted a starter suite, to expanding to larger spaces all within our three floors. As a member at InDo you can establish an address for your business, receive mail, have guests welcomed by our concierge during office hours, arrange usage of private meeting rooms, and even bring your dog to work with you! The InDo community fosters an exciting and welcoming environment that our members have reported has been beneficial in their growth.
