For the past few years, workplace setup has shifted from the traditional one-to-one, desk-based design to an open-plan, more modern and flexible kind of office environment. For many people, this is a positive move as it gives them more freedom to work and it encourages a more collaborative and creative atmosphere. In turn, these people become more productive and contribute better business or creative ideas to their company.
In the Philippines, while not all companies have embraced this kind of work setting, many people, especially freelancers, practice it. Instead of staying home all day to finish their projects, some of them find a coworking space with a reliable high-speed Internet, refillable coffee, and refreshing environment. Who knows, maybe across from their table is their next business partner or client. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
If you are new in town and are looking for a coworking space for your personal business or your small team, you may choose from the list below. Maybe you will find the perfect spot that best suits your taste and work style.
