Well-being: how can the work environment contribute to improved mental health?
or many people, after a long "covid" break, the work environment is where they spend most of their time again. For this reason, it is important that the work environment is pleasant and supportive of their mental health. The trend of recent years is set clearly, give people what they want. Give them a pleasant working environment and they will be more willing to stay longer, finish the job and spend time away from home. And it makes sense. A happy colleague/employee equals better work ethic, results, engagement, willingness to stay longer, but it also translates into mood and relationships within the team.
What to look for to support the well-being of your colleagues and employees?
To begin with, coworking spaces, at least in WorkLounge, are designed to be pleasant and aesthetically balanced. This starts with spacious lounges that have large, comfortable chairs and sofas, good quality desks, bright and airy rooms and ubiquitous inspirational design; of course there are relaxation zones or perhaps game centres. These elements help coworking members to reduce stress, improve their mood, gain new inspirational stimuli and not only feel, but more importantly, truly be part of a community.
Which leads to another important factor that contributes to improved mental health,and that is social interaction. Coworking spaces like ours offer shared spaces and facilities that allow users to network and interact with people from different backgrounds and experiences. This can lead to new friendships and allow users to gain new ideas and inspiration. Freelancers, small and large companies alike automatically become part of a friendly community of professionals.
The advantages of serviced offices: why people in the Czech Republic like them
Nowadays, it is important for many companies to find efficient and flexible solutions for their workspaces. This can include the use of serviced offices. What are the advantages of this solution?
Firstly, serviced offices provide companies with the opportunity to use professional and equipped offices without having to invest in their own rent and equipment costs. This can be very advantageous for smaller to medium sized businesses that do not have an unlimited budget.
Furthermore, serviced offices allow companies to have offices and headquarters in prestigious locations, which can be very important to them due to reputation and business opportunities. This is clearly of interest to smaller companies or individuals.
Serviced offices offer complete facilities for your business and company, including supercharged Wi-Fi, printers, modern technology equipment, reception, cleaning, drinks, coffee, social gatherings, training and more. What's more, you don't pay for space you don't need, only for the services you actually use.
Jan JaneÄŤka, Deputy CEO of WorkLounge says: "At WorkLounge Business Na PĹ™ĂkopÄ› 14,we offer mainly separate offices, so-called Private offices, which are ideal for medium and large companies for which it is important to have their own peace of mind, full service and discretion."
Why small and large customers like coworking spaces and serviced offices
Typical coworking spaces are ideal for individuals, small teams and freelancers looking for an inspiring work environment away from home. Our spaces offer a range of benefits such as flexibility, idea sharing, the opportunity to make new friendships (not just business ones) and access to new technologies and resources. But what's interesting is the fact at WorkLounge we are already prepared to keep all the benefits of coworking while offering the perfect office space to large companies.
What are the main points that will convince you that coworking centers are the right place for you, whether you're a freelancer or a big company?
Flexibility
One of the biggest advantages of coworking is flexibility. Lease agreements are usually short-term and can be tailored to individual needs. This means you can choose the length of your lease, the size of the space and even the type of coworking space that works best for you. And at WorkLounge, that's the number one principle. Especially if you're a freelancer and don't want to be tied down, but perhaps work from a different country every month.
Community
Coworking spaces, including private offices, offer an environment where you can meet people from different industries and make new friendships and business contacts. In addition, we often host interesting and beneficial events and happenings in the WorkLounge. This social interaction can help improve your ideas and innovation, but also give you a sense of belonging and reduce feelings of loneliness, which can be an interesting and welcome novelty if you've been working from home more often in recent years.
Costs
Coworking spaces and serviced offices are more affordable than traditional office space. Rental costs are usually split into several categories, meaning everyone only pays for what they need. This can be very convenient for smaller businesses or freelancers, as they don't have to pay for expensive office space. The same is true for larger companies who choose the Business option and drop the cost of a cleaning company, unused space or the cost of drinks and snacks in the workplace.
Professionalism
Coworking spaces provide a professional and accessible working environment. This can be very important, as it's another way to give your clients a quality and professional impression. Plus, our WorkLounge spaces add a unique feel and inspiring vibe that's perfect for those more important or casual meetings. Equally, it adds a positive charge to meetings that are crucial for closing contracts or raising budgets, for example.
Serviced premises
Coworking and serviced offices offer common areas and services such as reception, meeting rooms, event space, quality technology equipment, Wi-Fi, shower, relaxation area, game room and kitchenettes or private lockers. Because we also provide these spaces as part of the package, it means you don't have to worry about running the office any further. Of course, these services are already included in the rental price, which means you don't even have to pay for additional costs.
Bringing people back to the office - trends and new needs in office leasing
After more than 3 years of working from home, when many people worked in confined conditions and were often isolated from co-workers, it now appears that the trend of people returning to the office has become a daily reality for the last year plus.
But it has also become clear, according to surveys and polls of employees, that people now expect different things in offices than they did before the pandemic. Customers are demanding that the office be flexible and adaptable to the needs of employees. This means that employees can choose to work in the office, from home or in a co-working space, for example.
It is serviced offices like those we offer at all our locations that are the perfect combination of these requirements. This is primarily because people want a healthy working environment. This means an environment with good ventilation, cleanliness, good lighting and plenty of green space. Another thing they expect is that the office will be adapted to new technologies and offer modern facilities for all employees.
Overall, then, the return to the office after a covid hiatus has triggered a change in how people work and what things they expect from their working environment. People want flexibility, a healthy and modern working environment and the opportunity to make personal connections with their colleagues. At WorkLounge, we offer serviced offices and coworking space in the centre of Prague, in a popular location that is easily accessible and has excellent transport links, which is true for all our offices.
The popular coworking space can be found mainly in KarlĂn and Wenceslas Square. Serviced offices, which are famous for their reasonable price and quiet facilities, can be found in Smichov. And our newest branch, Pankrác, Ĺ˝iĹľkov and Na PĹ™ĂkopÄ› 14, will win you over for its minimalist concept of truly luxurious private offices with views of the city centre and access to a courtyard terrace.
