Transportation RouteI searched online for a long time and selected several co-working spaces that looked good to visit it. Don't be attracted by the decor or the cheap-sounding price there. You may not expect to find your employees or even yourself exhausted for a number of reasons as follows. Let's see what we need to know when we select a co-working space.
When selecting a workplace, be sure to consider about the daily transportation route for employees. It’s tiring of working overtime every day, and employees need to spend at least 15 minutes walking to get a bus or wait for a bus for half an hour.
Workers should make sure that parking is convenient, because Taipei rents charge are high, especially at the city center. If commuting time was saved, employees can have a better mental focus on their work.
Living Function
Walk around the neighborhood for 3 minutes to see if there is a breakfast bar, snack bar or convenience store. Although the delivery platform is popular, without going out for food, if every meal is delivered, the cost of food monthly is pretty amazing
The bank that cooperates with our company, post office, and government organization that often need to go where is convenient or not, that we need to know.
Secretary Service
Many problems in co-working space are handled by counter secretaries, especially freelancers. In addition to their work partners, counter secretary is usually your co-workers, who help you a lot such as hardware, customer service, mail receivers, etc. Basically, counter secretaries are your invisible version colleagues who usually assist you, so the professional of secretary service and service attitude must be important.
Office Appliances
It is necessary to have effective tools to do good work. As long as you don't want to buy all the hardware yourself, it's important to know if the equipment in the common space meets the requirements. For example, interior designers often need to output a lot of design drawings, and an old transaction machine will definitely make you work overtime. Others such as microwave or, water fountain and other living function supplies, check whether clean or not will be necessary. Hardware equipment must not just be good, but good enough to use. After all, you can’t consult online for these devices problem, while you need to use, and some people may mad at these small problem.
Working atmosphere
If the environment looks good, ask if you can experience working there for 3-5 hour.
Get a feel for the atmosphere. Whether the person of intercourse can be too noisy, lamplight can be too intense, to discover in advance if there’s any problem. It's like renting a house and you have to think about your neighbors, observing other positions of workers and office general situation. A good humanistic environment will help to stimulate positive motivation and improve the work efficiency of employees.
At last, I strongly suggest that you do not want to miss the co-working space which you like, and be diligent to visit the in person. After all, it’s for you to use for a long time, carefully evaluated according to your own work habits. Match the most suitable work space, is sure to get twice the result with half the effort.
