The appeal of coworking is how it allows employees to work in an environment best suited to their success. Coworking sites provide maximum flexibility, and in today’s new world HR departments are not exempt from requiring new levels of dexterity. Whether it’s managing the different aspects of project coordination or having HR workers do their jobs in different environments, coworking allows for HR departments to reimagine the nature of their work.
Quiet Space for HR Specialists
HR work is often tedious and requiring lots of quiet time to process paperwork for various purposes. Whether it’s coordinating benefits or handling complex inter-office personnel disputes, there’s many reasons a quiet space works great for HR specialists. Coworking offers a quiet space removed from the office. Instead of people barging into the HR office and distracting these employees, they can work at their own pace without having to lock the door. This means all HR tasks get the attention they require.
Increased Retention
Commuting is a commonly cited reason why valued employees leave their jobs for new ones. The quality of life improvement found in commute reduction is massive. Therefore, coworking is a great way to provide the lack of commute employees want while working for a company clearly valuing them. HR is complex, and having irreplaceable employees understanding this complex work helps every business, large or small.
Ideal for Temporary Workers
During benefits enrollment season, HR departments find there’s too little time to do all the work needed. Some companies hire temporary workers to help with the workflow. Coworking is an ideal solution. Instead of having temporary workers shunted into makeshift office space, coworking solves the square footage issue. Since it’s easy to connect with the main office, these remote workers in coworking spaces work as if they’re just down the hall.
