International coworking day began back in 2005 and is celebrated on the the 1st Friday in August. At OffiCenters, we don’t think that one day is enough to celebrate CoWorking, so we celebrate for the entire month of August! 

This year we’re taking our Hat’s Off and giving them to our members for making the choice to Work Awesome in our community. Stop at the front desk and get your OffiCenter Baseball Cap (while quantities last).

Here are some interesting and fun coworking facts: 

• There are more than 14,000 coworking spaces in the world
• There are over 1 million coworking members in said spaces
• Independently owned and operated spaces make up about 93% of the spaces in the world
• 89% of people using coworking spaces reported being happier as a product of working from a shared space
• 84% are more engaged and motivated
• 73% of the people polled maintain their sanity through coworking
• 83% those polled reported being less lonely

Not only is coworking uniting and connecting people who would normally work in the isolation of their own homes, giving people a place to seek asylum from the distractions of home, and building diverse networks, coworking is making people happier and healthier. Coworking is changing lives.
