International Coworking Day

By Stormy McBride On July 31, 2020 In Coworking•Community

August 9th is International Coworking Day, the day to celebrate the fact that we are all part of something far greater than ourselves. Locally and globally, we are a community of forward thinkers, innovators and game changers paving the way for the future of work.

We, the coworking peeps of the world, are fundamentally shifting the way all workspaces are seen and structured. That is freaking epic. While we are collaborating, conspiring and disrupting the CRE and design markets, we are building a platform for change. We teamed up with Emergent Research a few years ago to do a little research on our industry, Here’s what we found:

89% of people using coworking spaces reported being happier as a product of working from a shared space
84% are more engaged and motivated
73% of the people polled maintain their sanity through coworking
83% those polled reported being less lonely

Here are some graphics you can use for social that we made:

The folks at coworking.org would like to for you to record a video (deadline is the 5th).

If you have ever broken bread with, hugged, cried, or smiled at someone in your community, you have made a difference in someone’s life. They may not remember what you said in the moment but they will remember how you made them feel. Happy International Coworking Day, friends! Keep kicking ass and changing the world.
