What is Co-Working?

Co-working is one of the trendiest buzzwords around the business world in 2020, but what does it actually mean?  

Quite literally, co-working is “the use of an office or other working environment by people who are self-employed or working for different employers, typically so as to share equipment, ideas, and knowledge”.  Since 2005 when the first co-working space opened its doors, co-working spaces have increased in popularity.  With now over 35,000 co-working facilities, it is a trend that has taken the business world by storm.  It is now one of the fastest growing industries with an annual growth rate of 6%.  It is no wonder why almost all major corporations utilize a co-working community in some aspect.  A study found that employees in a co-working space were happier than those who do not partake in the co-working trend.  These co-workers have created a community for themselves that allows them to network, share creative ideas, and socialize with other innovative minds.

What does all of this mean to Share?
