AdvantEdge Workspaces Blog

When you begin your search for a new office space for your organization, you will probably realize that there are a lot of factors and details impacting your decision you hadn't considered before.  It is important to stay vigilant when it comes to determining precisely what kind of workspace your company needs to thrive. Leaving no stone left unturned in your search is the best way to make sure you're finding a workspace solution that will make your colleagues happy when you move in, and provide opportunity and infrastructure for long-term growth. 

Many of us have tried working in our local coffee shop, but that doesn't compare to having a quiet and professional atmosphere where you can really get things done! Here are eight reasons to choose coworking over the cafe:

AdvantEdge Workspaces has provided DC-area professionals with modern workspace facilities and attentive and efficient service for over 30 years! We appreciate the importance of consistency and do whatever we can to make our community members' jobs easier on a daily basis. The foundation for a strong relationship with any client is trust, and that trust can only be established by following through time and time again with the promise of great service.

The way we work is changing. As businesses return to normal, it may be time to reconsider your office space solution. Temporary office space is perfect for people in transition who want a professional workspace without commitment. It can be a test run to see if you like a space for a long-term arrangement, or it can be great to suit current needs, such as space for contract workers or a team that is in town for a month. No matter the situation, AdvantEdge Workspaces has a solution for you!

Despite a temporary situation, you want your space to feel like your own. Personal touches, such as desk decor, wall art, or company mementos can help the space feel comfortable. Take advantage of Command hooks and provided bookshelves to easily display items in a non-permanent way. At AdvantEdge, you can also select what furniture you’d like in any private office. Arrange pieces however you see fit. Even for temporary clients, our goal is for the space to fit you- not the other way around.

If you’ve ever had to set up wifi or deal with tech support over the phone, you know how draining and time-consuming it can be. With a temporary workspace, everything is all set up and ready to go. Forgo hours on hold and instead show up with your laptop and hit connect. Renting an office in a shared workspace environment also means that there is support on hand for whatever tech issue you run into. An expert is always available to provide immediate assistance.

There are many types of temporary office solutions, but when you select one in a shared workspace you benefit from a plethora of amenities and services. Utilize a variety of meeting rooms, decompress in the lounge, and allow Client Services Coordinators to handle admin tasks. Let guests enjoy a modern and polished reception area. Keep your mail safe at the front desk and take work up to the roof for some sunshine. Whatever your work demands, we will match it with an unparalleled experience.

Temporary workspace solutions ensure that your team can seamlessly transition to whatever is next. AdvantEdge has decades of experience in providing a top-notch experience to all clients, no matter how long they are in the workspace. If your business is in flux, or if you are not yet ready to settle on a specific long-term solution, try AdvantEdge Workspaces for full-service support with the office space you need.

When you think of coworking, you might think of communal business lounges and happy hours, but maybe the most valuable aspect of working in a shared workspace is the support staff that helps your business day-to-day. Here are a few ways that AdvantEdge’s Client Services team can provide the infrastructure where your business can succeed.

Did you know that September is National Self-Care Awareness Month? This month aims to shed light on different practices one can do to create balance in their life. Self-care can be about treating ourselves, but it is also about maintaining a healthy lifestyle that enables us to be our best selves at work. In a time where it can be hard to disconnect and easy to overwork oneself, self-care is more important than ever. Here are four reasons why you should incorporate it into your work life:

1. Prevent Burnout
With the challenges of the past year and a half, and uncertainty about the future, burnout is at an all-time high. Burnout at work affects one’s psychological and physical health, and can easily spill over and impact our personal lives as well.
Being part of a workspace that values your entire self is key to keeping burnout at bay. Look for spaces with a gym, outdoor areas, separate places to eat, and quiet rooms for when you need a change of scenery. When your company and space encourage healthy office habits, you’ll feel better and work better.
