Flexible Spaces with Meeting Rooms

osDORO can find you an office space or shared space with access to a meeting room or conference room.

Most flexible office spaces offer dedicated spaces for group meetings and training sessions. Training rooms or meeting rooms can simply be a small private space with a table and a set of chairs for small groups.

At enterprise-level office buildings, on the other hand, these meeting spaces can either have tables arranged like an auditorium with seats facing front, or like a board room with seats arranged in a U-shape.

Meeting rooms provide an essential opportunity for focused, quiet interactions for staff collaboration or confidential discussions regarding contract negotiations. The rooms serve a necessary function for the development of any business enterprise. Various office spaces position and utilises their meeting spaces in different ways. Some are in open planned environments with no walls, some are conducive to team collaboration and knowledge sharing, some are for confidential 1-1 meetings, and others are great for web conferencing.

This is why booking a meeting room within a professional coworking space can play an integral role in a productive business meeting.

Private

An enterprise may consider providing the employees with a new style of meetings in a coworking space.

Whether you are holding a ten-person meeting or a hundred-person conference, event planners in coworking spaces still can make customised arrangements of services such as catering, tea/coffee and audiovisual requirements. Arrangements can be made for hiring additional equipment such as recording equipment for webinars, teleconferencing services, tables, chairs and other computer equipment.

Importantly, for highly confidential and sensitive meetings, you won’t have to worry about running in and out of the office each time you need to find additional chairs or tea/coffee, everything will be ready for you on request.

Working for an extended period in the home office or traditional office cubicle will make workers fatigued and quickly exhausted.

As there is no interruption from the daily environment, offsite meeting rooms in the coworking spaces clarify the distinction between meeting time and working time. Therefore, you can maintain the employee’s attention. Problems and challenges in the team can be discussed confidentially in a meeting room to apply real action to workplace difficulties and maintain productivity. Altering meeting room locations will also help employees apply new perspectives to old problems.

Generally, the board of management conducts business strategies and makes business decisions for the future development of the company. Similarly, team members wanting to take an outside view of a product or service problem, taking an outside perspective by taking the meeting offsite to a meeting room will encourage all meeting stakeholders to express their ideas and opinions into serious communication. A different and exciting scenery stimulates more concentration and engagement from team members. Distractions from coworkers or personal work deadlines will be no longer a worry in an offsite meeting in a coworking space. This is an opportunity to receive feedback from all the participants in a meeting.
