The Benefits of a Co-Working Space
There are many reasons why a co-working space can benefit both the individual and the community.
Here we take a look at some of the biggest factors:
Social.
A co-working hub means access to a community, opening up individuals and their businesses to collaboration and the potential to expand your network. It also reduces the isolation often felt by home office workers and means you can integrate with your fellow co-working space users as much, or as little, as you wish. We are social creatures usually by nature and so it always feels better to have a bit of a buzz around and people to soundboard your ideas off.
Innovative.
A mixed community of start ups, freelancers and remote employees is conducive to a broader range of thinking. In an environment like this, people who would never have usually met, may end up collaborating on a project, they may give you a great idea for something you are working on or seeing things from a different perspective in a new space might give you the kickstart you needed to figure a problem out that you were stuck on. Variety is the spice of life!
Sustainable.
Working in a shared environment keeps costs down such as electricity, heating, etc. as well as eliminating emissions caused by your commute and therefore means a lower carbon footprint. It cancels all the individual overhead costs that might be applicable if one were to rent a space on their own. It also has a positive impact on mental well being as work and home life are separated and we all know this can be essential in sustaining a healthy work/life balance!
Productive.
You will have the chance to work in a professional environment free from distractions meaning an increased focus and potential business growth. We all know when working from home we can find lots of things to distract us. Sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated without some accountability! If you are used to long a commute, this could eliminate wasted time travelling and you will have more time to spend on work or even better, at home when your day is done!

Why The Growth Of Co-Working Spaces In Ireland?
• COVID-19 lockdowns forced a lot of people to work from home, resulting in a mindset shift with regard to remote working. It is now becoming more apparent that most work tasks can be completed from anywhere as long as you have a healthy internet connection!
• There has been a generational shift in commuter mindset. In times gone by, people may have felt the need to migrate or commute to the big cities for the best jobs, now these roles and networks are so much more accessible from anywhere thanks to technology and hubs such as the Station House.
• Due to the cost of living increasing so much in the cities, people have ended up moving further and further outside these areas to more rural spots like Monaghan. This means a widening of the talent pool with people realising the quality of life is often much better. Also our education is on a par now nationally so it’s more of an even playing field with more opportunities here now than ever!
