New offices and co-working spaces are sprouting up all over the place. So, it becomes important to pick the right one to ensure a great experience. It can not only improve your productivity, but also enable you to be creative and take your work to the next level. Here are five things you need to pay attention to before booking in.

Location

A great space is useless if you have to commute 2 hours to get there – tired. Choose a place that is well connected – by metro, bus or taxi. If you can find a place close enough for you to cycle to, then pedal away!

Logistics

 Logistics is not just about amenities like meeting rooms and food courts. A great place will also offer you a little extra – like a nearby day-care facility if you have a baby, or the freedom to bring your pet to work – or a nearby pet care center. If you need something specific, look for it. Chances are, you will find it.

Recreation

All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy. So, look for a place that offers what you want – whether it is a squash court, so you can get a game in, or just a balcony to do a crossword – you might just be pleasantly surprised.

Atmosphere

All of us have different preferences when it comes to work atmosphere. Some of us prefer brighter spaces with the freedom to interact with others. Others prefer a more low-key setting that ensures more privacy. Figure out which suits you best.

Cost

No two person’s needs and budgets are the same. That is why most spaces offer flexible rates. Find something that fits your budget. It is safer to choose a lower priced one and be disappointed than to shell out more – and still be disappointed.
