One of the bright spots in the economic downturn has been the emergence of real world shared workspaces, co-working communities and collaborative work environments.
Touting a series of benefits that range from reduced cost, quality of life, carbon-reduction and networking, telework and co-working environments return great dividends to participants.
Small entrepreneurial business ventures get a foothold with high-speed internet, phone and fax services for a fraction of the cost of providing in a home office. Add to this the possibility of informal networking and the general pleasantness of working together, alongside the carbon reduction of delivering space/utility resources that would otherwise be duplicated.
