functions.
What’s an Open office/ Co working Space? An arrangement in which employees from different
companies share an office space through the use of common infrastructure. Open offices place
colleagues of different firms within close proximity to each other, giving them the chance to
communicate freely, which can be both good and bad for the company.
Some of the advantages of Open office/ Co working Space: -
1. Easy access & interaction with different organization.
2. Free flowing ideas
3. Networking
4. When you are not sure and want to test waters, work is at a project level. Starting with open space requires no commitment, you can simply quit with minimal investment.
5. Vibrant and colorful atmosphere. You are not bored to see same faces daily at your work
place, it’s a café life atmosphere.
What’s a Private office Space? An enclosed lockable office space situated within a shared
environment offering an ideal compromise between privacy and the reduced costs of a shared
office. Private offices allow workers a better chance to focus on their work without distractions;
however, collaboration is limited.
