Dear Coworker,

The CO in coworking is community. I was recently reminded of this while listening to an industry podcast and it’s a reminder I needed. Sometimes while running our Corner locations, it’s easy to get caught up in the office rental part of the business. The desks, the Wi-Fi, the software platforms we use to manage the space…it’s all important, but that’s not really where we shine.

Especially now, in a post-pandemic world when mental health, loneliness, and isolation are leading to serious societal issues. People need connection. The Corner provides that.

For some people, coming to an office every day is exactly what they need for their lives and for their businesses. But even if it’s just getting out of the house one day a week to chat by the coffee maker, coming to a coworking space can improve overall happiness.

In Okotoks, we even have a Community area in our space that gives residents an affordable place to come to read the paper, do some online shopping, or listen to music while drinking great local coffee. No work required.

Creating community in a coworking space might seem like a simple fix for some really big problems, but I truly believe that we are making a difference in the lives of our members. If you are part of our Corner community, thank you and let us know what we can do to make your community even stronger. If you’re not yet a Corner member, please consider joining us. We’d love to get to know you.

Mark

CEO & Founder
