When we had to go to the office every day, we dreamt of a day when we could work from home in our pajamas and companies assumed people wouldn’t get much done if they weren’t in the office. But when #WFH became a reality, the flip side soon made itself visible.
Companies saw that employees were as productive working from home as they were when they were in the office. In addition, remote working was cost-effective for them.
However, employees realized that this arrangement blurred the lines between their work time and personal time and they had to deal with many more distractions. They didn’t want to work from home but neither did they want to go back to the daily long office commute.
The ideal solution emerged in the form of neighbourhood coworking spaces offering WFNH or Work From Near Home opportunities. Let’s take a look at how The Office Pass (TOP) is facilitating this transition in Gurgaon.
The doorbell ringing every 5 minutes, children asking for snacks and the maid wanting to know what to cook, well, these distractions are some of the biggest challenges of working from home. The Office Pass (TOP) gives working professionals a space where they can focus on their to-do lists with minimal distractions.
According to a survey, 68% of all respondents say that they can focus on tasks better in neighbourhood coworking spaces as compared to their homes.
Rather than share their workspace with children doing their homework, people can work beside other professionals. Everyone in this space has professional targets and goals that they’re working towards. When people do need to talk to others, TOP has dedicated meeting rooms and community spaces where they can talk without disturbing others.
Almost all professionals have a laptop at home where they can get most of their work done. But, many do not have good-quality printers, scanners, video conferencing equipment, etc. Even the Wi-Fi at home can be weak. For many people, the dining table was also their work table. All of this affects productivity.
According to a survey, availability of office infrastructure is one of the key reasons why people choose their current coworking space. 57% did so because they needed a basic office infrastructure while 46% needed a good internet connection.
