AdvantEdge Workspaces Blog

With Memorial Day weekend behind us, summer is officially here! It can be hard to focus during the season, as warm weather beckons and the desire to have a lazy day is at an all-time high. The world is returning to normal, and this summer will feel much better as we can actually enjoy the seasonal activities we love. To ensure you have time to do what you want this summer, set yourself up for success in the workplace. Here is how a shared workspace like AdvantEdge Workspaces can help you thrive this season!

Many of us are just starting to return to the workplace. After over a year at home, it may be hard to decipher our needs. A shared workspace has many options so that your office space solutions can change alongside your needs. Sit at a coworking desk one day a week or move up to a private suite as your team grows. Wherever business takes you this summer, AdvantEdge Workspaces will have the office space for you.

While most aspects of normal life are coming back, many have adjusted to eliminating non-essential work travel. Virtual meetings are difficult, which is why meeting rooms at AdvantEdge are equipped with the latest technology- you won't even realize you aren't in the same room as your colleague! Diminish tech stress and seamlessly host meetings with people from all over the world, leaving more "me" time this summer.

Summer is a season of flexibility, and making your schedule work with activities and vacations is no small task. You need a workspace that is flexible and adapts to your schedule instead of creating another headache. Building access means you can work whenever you want, and community benefits, such as building upkeep and management, enable you to simply shut your laptop and leave without worrying about the space.

Whether a private office, a virtual office, or coworking is the right choice for you and your organization, AdvantEdge's outstanding Client Services Team is ready to back you up and keep your business running smoothly when you go on vacation! Leaving your work behind isn't as easy as it sounds, especially for those in positions of leadership. Even as you dip your toes in the pool or enjoy a beautiful mountain top view, your brain may wander back to the constant anxieties that come with running a business. Joining the AdvantEdge Community will allow you to breath deep and kick those feet up, here's how:

Over the past year,  we have all had to adjust our routines and our mindsets, in both our personal and professional lives. In this new and constantly evolving landscape, it pays off to be flexible and open-minded. Luckily for you, AdvantEdge has over 30 years of experience in helping DC-area businesses manage transitions without a hitch!

Successful business leaders have both short and long-term goals for the growth of their organizations. You have probably thought of new ways of expanding the reach of your products or services and considered what resources that your company will need to access these opportunities. The fact of the matter is, in spite of your best preparations, it is sometimes impossible to foresee the obstacles and opportunities that will emerge in your business’ path, be it next year, next month, or even next week. Choosing a full-service workspace provides your company flexibility and peace of mind to change your office solutions and services at any time.

May is Small Business Month, but at AdvantEdge we celebrate and support small businesses each and every day! We know what it takes to keep a small business running on a day-to-day basis and to succeed in the long run; that’s because we are a small business ourselves!

A good leader in the workplace sets a strong example through his or her actions but knowing how to motivate your team is a crucial skill that they probably didn’t teach you in school. Every coworker or employee at your workplace requires their own leadership style and knowing how and when to press those buttons can empower your team and produce incredible results for your organization. It doesn’t have to be complicated; if you consider the personality types of the people you work with, you will understand how to connect with them, and get their best performance!
