The coworking service in Luxembourg has identified a number of sites across the country. Cooperative workplaces have been experiencing an increase in attendance for several years. A phenomenon that justifies the proliferation of real estate options, but that complicates the chore of finding the ideal coworker nest.
It’s up to each individual to find the best location for their project, personality and tasks (such as working close to home, networking or getting more involved in the community). Visit at least three or four before deciding which one to choose for your laptop. Half-day tests are allowed in some locations. To help you, we’ve compiled a list of five important considerations.
1. Accessibility is the number one priority
The convenience of being close to your home or office, as well as being in the heart of a thriving commercial center, are all important considerations when choosing a location. Life for most traveling professionals is made easier by the proliferation of coworking spaces near train stations. In remote areas, some have opened their doors to freelancers and small business owners, as well as hourly telecommuters.
Also, pay attention to the store’s hours of operation. In some cases, weekend or overnight hours are more convenient. Obviously, this is not feasible everywhere.
2. Specialization in a specific field
In the past, coworking spaces were only open to web developers, but that has changed in recent years. More and more people have become generalists. Others have chosen to focus on specific areas, such as marketing, public relations or other forms of communication.
In this way, specialized equipment can be shared and a sense of community can develop among those who share a common interest in that equipment.
Working in a traditional coworking space brings together business people looking to collaborate with local artists and artisans. Inter-individuality is not encouraged in most of these spaces, specialized or not. Coworkers who go above and beyond to broaden the group demographic are often accepted.
3. Coworking offerings and services
Only a small percentage of coworking spaces are limited to table and chair rentals. Some employees even want a second monitor to enhance their work experience. While many spaces offer professional services like conferences and meetings, others also offer more fun options.
Drinks and nibbles can be consumed as many times as you like, and baristas ensure that the coffee is of the highest quality. In addition, there is a lot of talk about sports. It is also possible to listen to guided meditations that last fifteen minutes daily.
4. The community
One of the main benefits of coworking is the opportunity to meet new people. With great companies, you will have the opportunity to meet a wide range of people from all walks of life. It is possible to communicate with each other regardless of the location you are at, for example. In the process of developing new business relationships, it is a beneficial tool.
Many large companies are now accepting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), or even entire divisions within large companies. Each floor can be occupied by a group of people. This is an interesting trend to be wary of. Interaction is the key to adding value in these environments.
5. Coworking rates
Each space has its own price list, depending on the type of service, atmosphere and location. Sedentary coworkers are increasingly using monthly packages, which are more advantageous.
For example, the Color Business Center in Luxembourg offers open spaces from 195 euros per month and private offices from 495 euros per month.
While this is not usually the case, most rates cover the cost of renting a workspace as well as the use of common rooms and amenities (such as printing and coffee). Be sure to check for optional amenities such as a personal locker and photocopying.
