Coworking has become quite popular as an alternative to working from home offices and coffee shops.  There are  a lot of  reasons for its popularity.  To begin with, coworking spaces are known to offer a positive work environment. Apart from this, those who work in these spaces can easily share resources, facilities, tools, and services. For organizations looking to increase productivity, coworking spaces offer several opportunities for collaboration and teamwork. What is coworking? Coworking arrangements are similar to people setting up their laptops to work in coffee shops or libraries. But, the setting is more like a traditional office. So, a coworking space has different layouts, membership options, and setups. Usually, such spaces have bring-your-own-device (BYOD) workstations  along with  shared amenities such as kitchenettes, internet access, and printing services. Several organizations today are using these spaces to lower office space costs. Who uses coworking spaces? These spaces can be used by organizations as well as independent workers.  From freelancers to entrepreneurs, be it large teams or startups, anyone can use coworking office spaces. Such spaces can be used by someone who typically works from home or needs their  own  workplace to rent.  At times , even non-profit groups  make use of   coworking  spaces, especially when they receive subsidized membership rates.
