\"coworkingAre coworking office spaces<\/a> just a trend or are they here to stay? That was a question posed by editorialist Robert Trigaux in a recent piece<\/a> published by The Tampa Bay Times. Tampa Bay is, like many places across the nation and the world, seeing a growing number of coworking offices, pushed by the last economic downturn and what he described as a “gig economy” — that is, people less interested in being part of a large corporation and more interested in being an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

The coworking office spaces are on the rise thanks to millennial workers thinking out of the box, baby boomers wanting to engage in a new kind of work, and startups looking to share their space with people who have a similar entrepreneurial vision. The environments of these spaces may vary widely, Trigaux writes, but good ones feature 24\/7 access, month-to-month commitments, amenities, and the opportunity and culture that comes with people sharing a space. It also offers mobility for those who need an office some of the time, but not so much other times. The typical coworker spends less than twenty hours a week in his or her space, he states.<\/p>\n

While some feel that coworking office spaces will never replace the traditional 9-5 office setting, Trigaux sees coworking arrangements — which feature less turnover rate than gyms — as a place that is inspiring workers to move toward more innovation. And innovation is always a good thing.<\/p>\n
