MILLENIALS & CO-WORKING
According to recent surveys, millennials make up for a sizable 65% of the global co-working community. Nearly half a million people are currently remotely working from co-working spaces, and the majority of that community are millennials. Although the idea and the trend of co-working is widely popular among others, it seems that is it far more attractive and in demand for millennials.
We at The UnCube realize that millennials want to work with freedom and independence, on their own terms. That is why they choose freelancing professions such as writing, designing etc. This article delves deeper into the same topic to find out what actually attracts millennials towards coworking.
Advanced Technology
Most millennials are fresh out of their colleges and thus may not be able to afford the high-end technologies needed to start freelancing or their very own businesses. With the help of co-working spaces, they can get access to such advanced technologies and services such as copying services, professional printing services, whiteboard walls and conference telephones whenever needed, at very affordable packages.
A Casual, Laid-Back Environment
Millennials are said to be very hard working, but they are known to be very casual and laid back. Co-working spaces provide them with casual and laid-back work environments, where they can go all out with their work and chill as they like, whenever they like. The opportunity to create new and exciting experiences is what attracts millennials towards remote working and co-working spaces.
Independence and Flexibility
Millennials prize and treasure their independence and flexibility which is another reason why they gravitate towards co-working. They only want to work when they naturally feel like working and believe that forcing something is bad for both their creative process and their career. They are also very strict with their work-life balance thus making co-working a very obvious choice for millennials.
Community, Camaraderie and Communication
Similarly, millennials also value camaraderie and friendship above all else. They believe in the power of communication and being a part of a community. Co-working provides all of the above in a single package along with many other benefits like better interactions and networking opportunities, which again attracts more millennials towards co-working.
Affordability
Like many other independent professionals and freelancers, millennials can’t or don’t like to pay too much for office rent, and other necessary resources. That is why they gravitate towards co-working spaces as it offers them many affordable co-working spaces along with many complementary services, and facilities. The affordable nature of shared co-working spaces is a major reason why more and more millennials opt for co-working.
END UNNECESSARY HASSLES
Usually when freelancers and entrepreneurs start to build their business up from scratch, they also need to start thinking about rent, electricity, utility, internet, and other such bills and expenditures. This idea or concept doesn’t sit too well with millennials. This further attracts them towards co-working spaces as almost all these costs and expenditures are included in the co-working space package.
