Before we get started, I know we’re going to sound a bit biased, we’re the biggest coworking space in Cork City, of course we are going to say try coworking! But hear us out, around the world and in Ireland the ‘Future of Work’ is changing and we are here for it.

Working from home really isn’t for everyone, so coworking can be a useful alternative. This type of environment provides several benefits that you may not have experienced before. Working with strangers may sound daunting at first, but it can also be very rewarding. Oh, and they won't be strangers for long!

So, here are 6 reasons why you should try working from a coworking space:

1. Find New Meaning

   Because a coworking space has such a diverse range of firms and initiatives, many coworkers believe the work they conduct there is more meaningful. When surrounded by colleagues who do a variety of jobs, a person's work identity evolves. Due to lack of competitiveness in a traditional workplace, a work facade is no longer required. Community, collaboration, learning and sustainability are all goals of coworking spaces.

2. Perks

   Coworking hubs not only provide the ideal location, but they also come with a number of benefits. These include workout areas, food services and meeting rooms to name but a few. 

   With facilities that can help support your lifestyle, you’ll achieve a better balance between your work and personal life. Some of the advantages of having a desk space here in Republic of Work are:

   • Free Nespresso Coffee

   • Discounted Meeting Rooms

   • Mail Handling

   • Members Bar

   • Community Events

   • Member Perks Program

3. Networking Opportunities

   Another reason individuals chose a coworking hub is to have a shared environment and to foster a sense of community. Working in a coworking space allows you to be surrounded by goal-oriented and high-achieving people. There are so many professionals in one space, the networking opportunities are limitless. You never know who you’ll bump into who can help advance your business/career, and vice versa

4. Location, Location, Location

   Because members have a central place to meet, work and connect, everything else becomes less stressful. For example, Republic of Work is easily accessible from all across Ireland due to its location in Cork City centre. Outside your door, a plethora of transportation, dining, and retail options beckon.

5. Saving Money

   Working in a coworking space is not only cost-effective, but it also allows you to scale and grow your business without having to pay premium fees. Flexi memberships at Republic of Work start at €99 per month and feature many of the same benefits as premium membership tiers.

6. Choose your schedule

   Most coworking spaces provide super flexible lease terms. If you need to cancel your membership for any reason, there are usually other choices available. This means it's an excellent business service to try out and see how you get on. If you enjoy it, go ahead. If not, maybe try a different space. We promise you’ll find something that works for you.
