Businesses large and small are opting for a satellite office. An auxiliary space can serve short-term projects as well as longer stays, allowing your team the chance to spread out. Satellite office spaces offer flexibility as well as focus. Here are just a few reasons why.
Focus on What Matters
There are bound to be some hectic days, weeks, or even months. You’re not immune—no matter the size of your company. With so many departments striving to meet disparate goals and deadlines, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle. Breaking out to a four, six or eight-person office within a coworking space allows a specific team to focus on short or long-term projects away from the hustle and bustle of the main office.
Whether as a temporary office space or for something a bit longer term, a satellite office also allows you to keep your attention on the task at hand. All of those random little operational office problems aren’t yours to deal with anymore. No more worrying about running out of coffee in the kitchen, maintaining various services and utilities, or stocking the bathrooms. All of that is taken care of for you, allowing you and your team to key in on the important stuff.
A New World of Collaboration
While extra focus is a definite plus, no one likes working in a vacuum. Listening to the same ideas day in and day out isn’t going to help your company grow, but what if there was an organic way of kicking around new ideas with a myriad perspectives?
While your colleagues are great, infusing some new perspectives can prove vital for your company’s success. Maintaining a satellite office in a coworking space opens you up to totally different groups of people from other industries and backgrounds. Whether it’s a quick chat by the coffee maker or picking each other’s brain in a common area, you never know where a conversation might lead and what ideas may come.
Beyond the immediate benefits, there’s the obvious perk of networking. It’s true; this term has become pretty much ubiquitous in the workplace, but that’s because it’s such a crucial part of any company’s success. In a coworking space, you’ll find an entire building full of entrepreneurs, start-ups, innovators, and seasoned business veterans looking for the same opportunities as you.
Location, Location, Location
With the technology available for businesses today, it’s definitely not necessary to work under the same roof. The flexibility to break up your team allows you to expand your company’s reach and influence. For example, maybe your headquarters are located in the suburbs, but you need a presence in the city. Going with a satellite office space grants you the flexibility to place employees where they’ll be most effective and productive. Staking your claim in a popular location can help keep your business’s finger on your industry’s pulse.
Many companies are going the remote employee route, expanding the radius of their perspective talent pool. This attractive work style is becoming more and more popular and offers another great way for your company to maintain a presence away from headquarters. Giving remote employees access to a state-of-the-art facility ensures they have every resource they need to be the most effective employee possible while maintaining a flexible and remote work schedule.
