WHY DO SMART COMPANIES LOVE COWORKING? • Boosts the energy in an office space • Increases innovation in businesses • Allows you to work with people based on your hiring needs like never before • Keeps employee morale up • Provides the opportunity for new and different people to spread the word about your business • Companies who embrace it are first movers and leaders in their industry • Being part of a community is the future of business
COWORKING &
CO. “The type of company – and people – that will thrive in this new environment will embrace collaboration and teamwork. I call them Betas. The old-fashioned Alpha way of doing business – top down, command-and-control – will no longer be viable.”
– Fast Company
