With the huge leap in digital communication tools over the last decade, remote working or living as a digital nomad is more popular than ever. In fact, there’s been a 44% increase in remote working over the last five years alone.
There’s just one catch. While working remotely comes with tons of benefits, such as reduced commuting costs and more free time, many remote workers (almost half, according to statistics) feel lonely without the daily interaction that working in an office provides.
What’s more, home working can lead to a disproportionate work-life balance, with workers struggling to switch off from work when their bedroom doubles as an office.
Enter: co-working spaces.
Co-working spaces allow remote and freelance workers to rent a desk and work in a space alongside others, forming new relationships and enjoying the all-important camaraderie that comes with working in an office.
And it’s not just individuals benefitting. Organisations can cut costs dramatically by opting to allow a few employees to hot desk from a co-working space instead of spending a huge chunk of their annual budget on permanently renting an office.
Interested in finding a co-working space in Dublin? We’ve got you covered, with our ultimate guide to Dublin’s remote working hubs.
How to Choose a Hub or Shared Space
With 83% of individuals reporting that they feel less lonely since joining a co-working space, the benefits of finding a remote hub couldn’t be clearer. But first, it’s vital to establish what to look for in your remote hub of choice.
Price
Before you commit to a co-working space, set a maximum monthly budget that dictates the most you’d be willing to pay. This budget should allow you to live comfortably alongside paying for the co-working space.
What’s on offer
Establish what exactly you need from your co-working space. All remote hubs offer a desk, but do you need a meeting room? Free tea and coffee? Ergonomic furniture? Decide what exactly you’re looking for before embarking on your search.
Location
Check the location of any co-working space before assessing its suitability. If shaving time off your commute is one of your remote working priorities, consider choosing a hub within walking distance of your home.
