Just because you work independently doesn’t mean you have to work alone!

coworkingCo-working is an emerging trend and new buzzword in the work world – describing the growing movement of café-like collaboration spaces for independent working folks like freelancers, mobile workers, start-ups and entrepreneurs.   The co-working group members are still working independently, but are interested in that synergy that can happen when working with talented people in the same space.

This concept of co-working is a very attractive one – you get to work in a creative, dedicated work environment with other professionals, escape working alone in a home office, connect with others and network, avoid the coffee house distractions, get motivated and driven by the others sharing the workspace, and have flexibility and no commitment to traditional “work time”.

This past August, OfficeLinks debuted a product designed to provide knowledge workers with reduce office space costs while providing enterprise-grade technology and workplace infrastructure that enables and inspires collaboration: Co-Working Offices. Companies or individuals interested may try co-working FREE on Fridays at OfficeLinks’ locations in Chicago and New York.  The first of its kind, OfficeLinks’ program brings knowledge workers unprecedented opportunity to leverage the company’s fully furnished, staffed, and modern offices on a transactional basis, while also networking with like-minded business people.   OfficeLinks’ Co-Working program includes access to modern workstations, blazing-fast and free WIFI, as well as refreshments and snacks to fuel the brain.

Say goodbye to overhearing every soy latte ordered at the corner café and hello to working in an inspiring, modern workspace with other people just like you.  For more information about OfficeLinks’ Co-Working Offices in their Chicago (Willis Tower location) and New York (40 Wall Street1440 Broadway and 33 West 19th Street) office locations, click here.
