More and more companies, businesses or independent professionals decide to bet on a common space to carry out their daily duties and activities. Sharing space can bring many benefits, but by creating a unique environment we must make it more productive, comfortable and pleasant for everyone.

Therefore, we have compiled a list with seven useful ideas to improve the work environment in a coworking space, so that all participants benefit from it and the overall result is as expected.

1. Create pleasant spaces. It is important that the environment where all the work forces converge has good lighting, order, is clean and free from noise. Accessibility to space is also another point to take into account. It is also necessary to have rooms for private meetings or for some type of training without interrupting other users.
2. Don't neglect privacy. Every coworker needs an intimate space. For this reason, it is important to incorporate movable partitions, panels, pots, etc. In short, we must personalize the individual field of work. An example of this is working with music. In this case,
   bluetooth headphones feature noise cancellation levels, so that the user can concentrate on what they are doing without disturbing other people.
3. Conditioning a FIKA zone. To achieve this, we need a coffee maker, a kettle, a refrigerator, a table and some chairs. This should be located in a more secluded and intimate space to socialize and rest. It is much more pleasant than eating in the environment where you work, it is cheaper and healthier.
4. Have a common philosophy. Since we all work in the same area, we must have a motto or slogan that identifies us, which should be in almost every corner of the premises.

5. Freedom of schedules. Restricting hours can harm the work environment. If it is possible to work without restrictions, according to personal needs and market demands, team members will feel even more comfortable.
6. Social responsability. It is important to go green and reduce our carbon footprint. We can promote recycling, reuse and participate in solidarity projects. We can even organize them and involve more people in these types of activities.
7. Union of forces. Having clear objectives will allow us to work together and as a true team. The rapport and solidarity among the members of the company are indispensable tools in order to achieve our goals.

Going from an individual area to a shared space is not an easy task, but putting some of these tips into practice will help us to be one step ahead of reaching a pleasant organizational climate, form a work team and join forces to achieve all the proposed actions.
