Man is a social animal. We need to socialise in order to exist. These social relations we make through our family, friendships and professional relationships. Besides giving us numerous benefits like solace, warmth and affection that we require to survive, relationships also give us major help in our profession, and in the means of living. Since the division of labour is clear cut in major organisations, any little favour from somebody can win hearts. Networking and social contacts within your social professional circle is necessary for expanding your identity to vast people. Competition has a clear cut place in professional circles, yet remaining in somebody’s good books is the ultimate game changer. This does not emphasize that you make professional relations for yourself benefits. But it is the by-product of having good relations.
For over a decade, coworking spaces in Bangalore are becoming hotspots of networking. It is an approach to working where in a common place, total work set up with desks are shared by employees belonging to various clients, who are in constant interaction with one another while sharing knowledge and ideas. One might wonder what kind of a bond establishes between the clients in this shared office environment.
- Worthwhile friendships:- Coworking literally means ‘co-working’. You work alone but with a group of people. This eliminates the feeling of loneliness and builds togetherness and cohesion among inmates. They tend to help each other by sharing happiness, sadness, failures, celebrating success and helping in problem solving, working on nascent ideas and sharing knowledge and experiences. This infuses the magic of friendship among them who gradually turn into strong interpersonal relationships with solid base.
- Business partnerships and joint ventures:- There isn’t a shortage of ideas that people have to begin their own ventures. They only lack moral or tangible support. Coworking spaces are a source of business partnerships when an inmate shares an idea and another person around is willing to extend support in terms of monetary and human resources. This is sometimes formalised into a bond or carried on word of mouth on the basis of mutual trust .
- Role models and heroes:- When we passively look around at people we find traits and qualities in them that we admire. We want to inculcate those into ourselves because we like to see ourselves as we see them. This makes them our role model. It can be anything from kindness to selflessness or soft skills like leadership and organization of work. When we have a greater window, our outlook gradually changes because we pick pleasant things from our surroundings and reflect them.
- Lifelong community:- The classmates of our school, colleges, internships or offices or our childhood friend circle are a part of our permanent social circle. No matter how old we become we never detach from them and remain in constant touch. The reunions of such groups rejuvenates us and makes us nostalgic. At iKeva, you make such circles that leave long lasting impressions in your life and you are most eager to meet them long after you retire. This can be on the basis of similarity of background, experiences, hobbies and passion or just fondness. Coworking places are hives of lifelong communities.
- Artist’s clubs and societies:- We all believe in doing good without thinking about ourselves. Indulging in altruistic activities gives us peace of mind. And this becomes more enjoyable when we have a company. Pro-social behaviour and acts of charity done together brings us closer. Another approach to this can be hobby, passion and amateur interests. Co-workers who enjoy common leisure pursuits feel cordiality and benevolence amongst themselves.
Mark Zuckerberg’s dormitory inmates who liked his initial idea and cooperated with him to work over it, are still the largest shareholders of the company and manage a major part of Facebook, one of the most influential companies that exist today. This way, small ideas have humble beginnings but when catalysed by a group of supporters; can create histories in the world. We never know when a person comes into our life and remains as a lifelong acquaintance. Coworking places widen your horizons and dig your reach deeper and wider.
We all need to interact. And communal stimulus is the means by which we satisfy our needs of socialization. But mostly over a span of few years going to the same place, meeting the same group of people and communicating with them over the same unchanged subjects can be exhausting. It also leads to the office ‘drama’ and ‘politics’ and therefore makes your work boring and mediocre. Then you tend to develop a feeling of unlikeliness towards your work and hamper your productivity. You also become dull and lethargic in place of lively and zestful. On the other hand, clients who work in a coworking office meet different people unrelated to their profession, thereby eliminating the unhealthy competition in the first place.
