Want to build a purpose-driven culture in your organisation? Start with fostering a sense of belonging.
23 February 2023
Cultivating a sense of community enables employees to thrive, bolstering against a higher staff turnover rate. 55% of employees surveyed were more engaged at work, and 66% said they were more likely to stay1 with their organisation once they found a sense of community. Compared to traditional offices, enterprise coworking spaces offer a deeper level of interaction and sense of community through shared spaces and amenities. While serving as a meeting point for diverse professional goals and ambitions, they can also provide opportunities for employees to gain insight into what drives other successful businesses.
Shared spaces offer shared learning and greater collaboration
At Csuites, shared spaces such as The Podium, Events Hub and Sky Terrace allow for a sense of communal belonging, allowing employees to gain insight into the importance of networking in the workplace, and discover the passions that drive other businesses. This variety of design solutions inspires collaboration, especially with its mix of open-plan work areas and private spaces to facilitate a variety of staff needs.
Csuites also offers a range of programs and coworking space activities like Eco-Awareness events, Rangoli art workshops, Diwali parties, yoga, and HIIT classes to inspire members to collaborate and participate in the co-creation of inclusive spaces. By participating in these activities, employees can develop a stronger sense of purpose and contribute to a dynamic and collaborative work environment. As an added bonus, some of these efforts can also align with broader sustainability initiatives that may be encouraged by building managers or landlords.
Coworking spaces empower workers to feel a sense of belonging, as they can indirectly advocate work-life balance
Coworking spaces like Csuites can empower workers with a sense of belonging, especially through the flexible accessibility it provides. Being able to choose your work hours, even after regular office timing, provides employees a greater sense of control over their work environment and schedules. On top of being able to allocate their priorities accordingly between work and personal time, Csuites also emphasises its welcoming environment through other communal areas that encourage relaxation, entertainment, and focus. Whether you choose to unwind with colleagues over a game of pool or ping pong, or prefer the solitude of meditating within our designated booths, Csuites is more than just a professional workspace for achieving productivity at work.
Furthermore, the communal nature of coworking spaces creates a sense of community and belonging among workers. Employees can stay focused and purpose-driven during work hours, leading to increased productivity and satisfaction that extends outside of their time at work. Overall, coworking spaces like Csuites offer a unique solution for the modern worker, supporting their needs in more than just a professional sense. By nurturing their needs for communal belonging, we help our tenant businesses achieve a healthier, happier and more engaged workforce and in turn, a healthier bottom-line for their operations.
An inclusive environment attracts purpose-driven talents
Be it through the people-first design of our spaces, or the various amenities, we provide equity and access for employees to work and live to their fullest potential. Another example of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion presents through our support of All Abilities Day, which we hosted as a way to exemplify community values that see everyone respected and included. By doing so, we can attract and retain talented individuals who are skilled in their field, passionate about their work, and committed to purpose-driven endeavours. Fostering an inclusive environment not only produces an impact on creating a stronger, more resilient and innovative organisation — but also one that sees its workers more engaged, as studied by a business performance study by Deloitte2.
Embracing accessibility and inclusivity among the benefits of shared workspaces and a professional community setting
