ThriveCo is Building 14 New Offices for Your Team to Rent Out

Are you and your team currently looking to downsize from your corporate office space? Or, are you an entrepreneur building your team but don’t quite have a need for an entire office space? Whatever your reasons and needs, ThriveCo has space for you, your team and your clients to use. 

New Office Space with ThriveCo

In addition to the desks, conference rooms, offices and virtual offices we already rent out for use, we are building a new office space for your team to use! This new office space is currently under construction and is projected to be completed by November 1, 2021. You will be able to reserve your spots and then begin working there once construction is complete! This new office space will offer 14 additional offices that you and your teams can take advantage of. When you don’t necessarily need to be in the office every day, renting or owning an office in a coworking space is more affordable than having a whole building you hardly use. 

Benefits of Utilizing a Coworking Space for Your Team

If you and your team primarily work from home, having an office or conference room available in a coworking space is beneficial for a multitude of reasons: you can keep your work and home life separate, and you have the privacy you need to protect your and any client information. You also have one physical address for your whole team to receive work-related mail; you have a physical address to put on your business cards, which makes you more reputable; and, possibly most importantly, you have space to meet with clients. Yes, you can meet clients and potential employees in a coffee shop or other location, but being able to meet in a place that is yours gives both you and your client confidence. 

If you are interested in a coworking space for your team, we are offering hard hat tours to anyone who is interested, so you are able to see the space before construction is complete. If any of these offices would fit your and your team’s needs, you can rent the space and begin using it after November 1! 

Reach out to ThriveCo

No matter your team’s needs—a mailing address, office space, gathering space or a virtual office—ThriveCo has a solution. Reach out today for more information on our current offerings, or to schedule a tour of our 14 new offices. We look forward to seeing you soon! 

ThriveCo Office for Rent

While there are plenty of advantages to working from home, there are also ample cons. When you work from home, it is even more important—and, in many ways, harder—to create a healthy work-life balance. The easiest way to keep your work separate from the rest of your life is to have a designated private office space. This isn’t always possible in your home. And what do you do when you need to collaborate with your team as well? That’s where ThriveCo comes in.

As a coworking space, ThriveCo offers space that you and your team can rent to have both privacy and room to collaborate, even when you don’t have a regular, permanent office where you can meet. Coworking spaces offer the best of both worlds, where you can collaborate with new people from different companies, and still have a private space with a door you can close to keep your business’s private information, well, private. 

A private office rental for you and your team is also a cheaper option than renting part of a large corporate building or purchasing a large space where your entire team fits. ThriveCo is currently renting out a great, mid-size private office that both you and your team can utilize. At 120 square feet, it is not too big for you to work in on a normal day, but it is also big enough for a small team or department to gather in to collaborate. 

This space is perfect for a work from home policy, as you can lock up all of your office equipment in the evenings and leave it behind, just as you would in a regular office setting. You could also use this space to rotate between teams. For example, you and your team will work from home one day while another department uses the office to collaborate and work as a team; the next day, you and your team use the office to get your projects done and conduct in-person meetings with clients and vendors. Having an address to put on your business cards, as well as a workplace in a well-known, active area gives you credibility and puts your potential clients’ minds at ease, knowing you have a safe, legitimate office to visit. 

When your business or team doesn’t have a permanent collaboration space, it’s easy to feel disconnected from one another in the projects you’re working on. Having a space to meet even once per week helps rehabilitate your team’s morale and team ability. ThriveCo’s private office for rent offers you the privacy you need to keep things private for industry-dependent compliance purposes, as well as a COVID safe on-site office where you and your team can meet. 

Another benefit to small business owners, freelancers or entrepreneurs is ThriveCo's Virtual Office. Using this feature gives you access to a reputable mailing and meeting address, as well as a phone answering and virtual reception service to manage your phone calls. You have the option to either pick up your mail on a regular basis, or you can enlist a virtual assistant to open, scan and email you your mail so you can conduct business from your home office. Your Virtual Office access also gives you discounted rates for meeting space rentals when you do need to meet with a client in person.

ThriveCo's current office rental is a great option for freelancers, entrepreneurs, small businesses and even large companies looking to consolidate space. A private office rental in a COVID safe on-site office is a great option for people who need the combined benefit of privacy and collaboration space. 

Benefits of Private Offices in Coworking Spaces

Coworking spaces draw images of people gathered and working together. Shared workspaces are great and a preferred option for startups, students and entrepreneurs because they offer a collaborative environment that is also cost-effective for your business. Working in shared spaces gives you opportunities you wouldn’t otherwise have either working from home or working in a traditional workplace, which is why so many companies have shifted to this model of working with their teams.

The Best of Both Worlds

However, sometimes sitting right next to someone doesn’t meet your needs. Everyone needs privacy for certain work duties, and working in a shared space does not mean that you have to sacrifice that privacy. Some conversations are not for many people to listen in on and some industries also have strict compliance guidelines that require a certain level of privacy and security surrounding their personal information. For these reasons, many coworking spaces have begun to offer private offices as part of their membership packages. 

Having a private furnished space offers the benefits of both the traditional office and coworking settings. If you need a space for private meetings, interviews and other private work but don’t have a permanent place to take these meetings in, having use of an office in a coworking space gives you that needed space. Because your company rents that office you have the authority to schedule meetings and have drop-ins come there—even though it is not your business’s brick and mortar office space, you can have a place to call your own. 

Creating a Private, Collaborative Environment

Some startups and entrepreneurs even opt to use a private office in a coworking building as a way for their entire team to have a professional workplace. This offers startups the opportunity to collaborate as a team, while also giving them the privacy they need to discuss new ideas, products or services. 

Renting private offices in coworking spaces is more cost-effective than leasing an entire office building, or a space in a large corporate building, and still offers the same advantages to your team that these traditional spaces do: collaboration and a sense of belonging and team ability. 

A Sense of Permanence

An added benefit to a private office is the security to leave your work at the office. Many people don't feel comfortable leaving their belongings out in the open overnight and instead, choose to carry their work gear back and forth daily. With an office, you can leave your things behind with the peace of mind that they are safe. 

Whatever your reasons may be—a need for privacy, a meeting space, somewhere to leave your work so it doesn't follow you home every night—a coworking space, and specifically a private office in a coworking space, just might be your and your business's answer. 

The Future of Coworking Spaces

Depending on whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, you may have loved or hated the stay-at-home orders. Working from home definitely has positives and negatives for both sides, though. If you’ve been managing both work and children? 2020 was a tough year. On the other hand, if you enjoy rolling out of bed and shuffling to the kitchen table to work in your pajamas? Then the WFH protocol wasn’t that bad! Some of us experienced productivity boosts while others fell behind due to outside pressures affecting out day-to-day.

But what will things look like once the masks are off and out regular, “normal” office life beckons?

Coworking Spaces are Increasingly In Demand

Some companies will begin to calculate what they’ll save by allowing workers to work where they like—and some already have. Without the overhead of a full-time office, businesses can shift funds elsewhere. Better financials are great, but where does that leave us—the human employees that, at least some of the time, crave human interaction?

The Best Spaces Will Offer the Best of Both Worlds

The answer to this question may just be a revamped version of what we started doing this past year. Maintaining an office space—maybe a smaller one meant for less people—where employees can tune in and meet when they need to, while still having the option to work from home when they don’t.

Coworking spaces were popular before the pandemic for freelancers, startups and other small businesses who may not have had the resources for a full office space. Now, even large companies are looking into coworking space options for their teams. Giving their employees the option to work from home and come in when they need, while allowing their top level employees to work as a unit in the office offers a unique environment.

Benefits of Coworking Spaces

A benefit for smaller businesses, especially those that may have struggled during the height of the pandemic, is that renting a few desks, a conference room, or a portion of a floor of a coworking building is a lot cheaper than paying utilities on their permanent office space.

Not having to pay utility bills, rent, maintenance, internet and other costs enables these businesses to allocate those funds to other areas they need it can help fuel small business’s growth post-pandemic.

The benefits to coworking spaces are not just financial. No matter how many Zooms, Google Hangouts, etc. we have all been a part of this past year, there will always be meetings that need to happen face-to-face. HR conversations, strategy meetings and other sensitive topics are best handled in person. Coworking spaces give employees the ability to come in for these conversations and maintain the sense of community working in-person with each other gives us.

Coworking spaces are also great for networking with other small businesses and sharing ideas. This creates an even greater sense of camaraderie in the office space, as well as adds creativity to your team.

Future of Coworking Spaces

If remote work has taught us anything, it’s that people enjoy flexibility and freedom in how they work—be this your location, the hours you work, or anything else that makes your work experience more conducive to your life. Coworking spaces are not new, but are definitely surging in popularity. They offer the flexibility that people have adjusted to and learned to thrive in this year.

Because we don’t necessarily have to commute to our jobs anymore, secondary cities like Nashville and Sacramento will grow as people leave their larger cities. Higher quality of life combined, lower cost of living, and the job flexibility you need to be your most productive? Who could argue with that? After business owners have seen the way their teams adapted this last year, a more flexible work environment only seems like the natural progression of the regular workplace.

Why Telehealth Counselors can Benefit from a ThriveCo Membership

The demand for flexible working solutions is growing, especially now. And it's not just freelancers and entrepreneurs that need coworking spaces, private office rentals, or virtual office memberships. In fact, professionals such as telehealth therapists are seeking these services as well. 

We believe that telehealth practitioners, particularly those in the mental health field, will benefit from the range of services we provide at ThriveCo. Here's why. 

Help patients online while enjoying the amenities and perks of a ThriveCo membership!

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is healthcare plus technology; it's the use of digital communication tools, like computers and mobile devices, to provide access to health care services remotely and to manage care. From live video conferencing to mobile mental health apps, telehealth gives patients and health professionals greater access than ever before. 

For mental health counselors and other therapists, telehealth is really a game-changer. With it, doctors and licensed counselors can reach their patients quickly and help them manage their symptoms. Teens and adults who are at risk for mental health issues like depression or drug abuse can receive the help they need within seconds.  

Telehealth Benefits Patients and Practitioners

For practitioners, telehealth offers greater connection and more opportunities to provide counseling and care. With the lightning-speed connection that our laptops and Smartphones provide, mental health professionals can offer treatment that is more efficient, better coordinated, and personalized to patient needs. 

And now, they can do it all without the overhead of a clinic or office building! All most telehealth therapists need is a laptop, reliable internet connection, and a headset.  

Why Coworking can Help Telehealth Practitioners Grow Their Client Base and Treat Patients More Effectively

At ThriveCo, we've witnessed our new members' surprise when they realize how useful our services can be. 

They learn, for example, that they can maintain a mailing address outside of their home address, which offers them safety and meets the requirements set by banks and insurance companies. They learn that they have access to meeting rooms and offices, at any time, for emergency in-person client sessions. 

A ThriveCo virtual office gives mental health professionals the freedom to work anywhere they like, plus access to an office, a community, and full amenities when they need them. For telehealth therapists and other practitioners, a virtual office or part-time private office really can change everything.
