coworking offices in San Jose<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAfter a good internet connection, the next-most useful gear that digital nomads wished they had were printers and scanners (38% of respondents) and additional monitors (35%). Similarly, a remote worker on the move could also benefit from coworking offices as many provide on-demand printing services and docking stations.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, when it came to amenities that would benefit remote workers, dedicated work areas were the most in-demand, according to 41% of respondents. While a living room or other familiar space may initially seem like a comfortable place to work from, mixing up work and play can erase the bounds between our private and professional lives and lead to dissatisfaction and loss of productivity. Consequently, having a specific work area ranked highly among desired amenities, followed by lounges and recreational areas (34%) and parking (32%). Here again, telecommuters working from coworking spaces are likely to benefit from these amenities, whereas they may be less easily accessible for those working in coffee shops, lobbies or similar locations.<\/p>\n
Additionally, when asked about the aspects of office work that they paid most attention to, almost half of telecommuters said they sought schedule flexibility; 45% wanted a clear work\/personal life divide; and just more than one-third valued social interaction as a central workplace feature.<\/p>\n
Less Than 20% of Remote Workers Satisfied with Their Work Setup; 70% Looking for a Coworking Space<\/h2>\n
The majority of polled telecommuters (56%) said they were neutral about their current work setup, with only 18% saying they were happy with their situation. At the same time, more than one-quarter of respondents reported that they were dissatisfied with their setup \u2014 meaning that most telecommuters were still trying to reach their optimal productivity several years into the adoption of the hybrid work model.<\/p>\n
Finally, recognizing the advantages of having a dedicated and professional workspace while logging on for work remotely, 38% of survey respondents said they were actively looking for a coworking space to cater to their work needs. Likewise, an additional 31% said they were open to the idea of boosting their remote work experience with the help of a coworking office, while the remaining 31% said that coworking did not fit their needs.<\/p>\n

And, whether they log in from their living room sofa, home office, a cozy caf\u00e9, or a boutique-like coworking office, most of them agree that remote work provides more freedom of choice and the potential for better work\/life balance compared to the old, 9-to-5 office model. However, while the advantages are undeniable, it\u2019s not all roses. For that reason, our sister site CoworkingCafe set out to identify the pain points of remote work.
