One of the changes that the internet age has brought for many organisations is the option to work remotely. This has saved many the time and man-hours spent in commute and a lot of money as well.<\/p>\n
This state of affairs has given room for the rise of co-working spaces to cater to the needs of startups, freelancers and telecommuters. Before the rise of coworking spaces, coffee shops and spacious restaurants used the availability of free wifi to draw the freelancing demography.<\/p>\n
Coworking spaces, however, simulate a relaxed working atmosphere and are believed to provide better room for concentration and focus.<\/p>\n
In Ghana, coworking spaces have been steadily coming up, with most of these establishments providing high-speed internet and affordable prices for users with different payment plans. The rise in coworking spaces can be attributed to the increase in freelancers and telecommuters on the Ghanaian job scene.<\/p>\n
The rise can also be attributed to one of the argued downsides to telecommuting which is that people are less productive when working from home and so need to simulate the conventional work environment.<\/p>\n
Shared working spaces apart from providing the required furniture and reliable internet also provide a lot of support for freelancers and telecommuters. These spaces naturally evolve into communal spaces that foster networking and provide technical support based on the strengths of each individual.<\/p>\n
For start-ups especially, the benefits of working in shared spaces instead of adding the cost of rented space to the already enormous cost of starting a business is a great relief. With that said, here is a list of some popular co-working spaces in Ghana:<\/p>\n
