Shared Economy – Save Resources And Work Together
People tend more to share resources, rather than owning everything. This also gives an advantage in office sharing. There are, for example, high-quality printers or coffee machines suitable for the office, which nobody would buy privately. Of course, this also applies to many other devices. Especially when coworking becomes more specific. For example, photographers or filmmakers share offices where there are a photo studio and equipment borrowed from a particular photographer who needs it. There is an unbelievable saving potential for the equipment costs. This also gives those freelancers the chance of getting started when they cannot afford all these things.
What Are The Advantages Of Office Sharing?
- Cheap rental rates
- Partly a company address
- Colleagues for networking
- The sharing of devices
- Pleasant atmosphere and cool indoor climate in summer
- Meeting rooms
- Customer reception possible
- Can be deducted from the tax
Are There Any Disadvantages To Office Sharing?
Disadvantages could be that there is no workplace at the moment or that it is getting quite noisy. Wherever many people work, the noise level is naturally higher than in the home office which disturbs some tasks having to create resume (ทำ resume which is the term in Thai). It should also be noted that discussions with customers on the phone cannot be conducted in peace. Everyone hears what you have to say and since internal information is discussed, they should stay private. In many office communities, there are special “telephone areas” where you can go to. Still, privacy is not given that much.
Are There Long-Term Solutions For Office Sharing?
Yes, some providers rent jobs for a year or even longer. If you run coworking regularly, you should hire a fixed desk because the costs are usually cheaper than the flexible ones, especially if you’re a call center staff (พนักงาน Call Center which is the term in Thai).
Tip: Take a look at all offers live and work there for a few weeks to get to know the atmosphere. Renting blindly into a coworking contract may only bring you disadvantages.
