Women-owned coworking spaces accommodate childcare and
personal care
The most significant upside to coworking and plug and play office space is that it
makes work fit into your life, rather than forcing you to build your life
around work. But female-owned spaces go further, still. When it opens next
year, Women’s Plaza in Portland, Ore. will offer, in addition to childcare and
yoga, massages and catered meals as well as life coaches, nutritionists, love
and intimacy counselors, and fitness instructors.
“People don’t fit into a box anymore,” says Deborah Engel,
founder of Work and Play in South Orange, N.J. “With today’s technology, people
don’t need to be in the city at an office for eight hours a day and parents in
our community don’t necessarily want to sign up for three to five full days of
childcare at a traditional daycare center. Our main mission is to provide a
solution for those looking for more flexibility as they try to balance life.”
Shared office spacein Bangalore and office space forentrepreneurs offers onsite drop-in babysitting, with packages including 20
hours per week for workspace and childcare for approximately $1,200 per month,
and slightly smaller packages like 12 hours per week of workspace and 12 hours
of childcare for $740 a month. It can cost less than some childcare facilities
and you’re gaining a place to work.
Another benefit of its South Orange location is that it lets
people escape the choice between urban burnout and more spacious or affordable
housing. More suburbs are beginning to follow suit. At Thrive in Gilbert,
Ariz., women relish the chance to maintain an efficient workspace while still
being close enough to home, yet also remain in a downtown hub where they can
have a lunch meeting and head across the street to work or do a presentation.
Whether it’s a space in the center of L.A. or the suburbs of
Phoenix, it seems the thing that all female-owned start up business office space have in common is that they seek to
provide something women have fought for decades to find: A balance between
their work and personal responsibilities.
These founders understand that some women could work best by
jamming away at a keyboard in between tending to familial duties, while others
prefer getting their writing done at 7 a.m. when they are most focused — and
that they need a place that can satisfy both of those needs while helping them
thrive.
We can only hope that this could have an affect on
workplaces overall in the future
