One of the things that COVID-19 taught us is that remote work works. Whether you’re working from home or in some coffee shop with decent Wi-Fi, you could still be productive and help in your company’s goals.
The work-from-home setup has been around longer than you think. In the Philippines, for example, 52% of employees were working from home even before the pandemic hit. That amount reached a high of 85% during Covid. And even after the world recovered and many companies called their workers back to the office, still almost half preferred working remotely.
The benefits of working from home have long been discussed, yet there is also a downside to it. Because the line between work and home has become blurred, it has put a strain on the mental health of a lot of workers. They needed a break from work and the house.
Enter the flexible coworking space. It gave the weary “work-from-homers” a place where they could do their job and yet not give them the constricting office vibe. As a bonus, it’s usually located near residential communities, sparing them from the harrowing experience of the daily commute.
Weremote: Not Your Ordinary Coworking Space
Weremote is one of the first coworking brands that offered the service early on, opening its doors in Metrowalk, Ortigas. Today, it has expanded into five more locations in Makati, Alabang, and Taguig. It has also evolved to adapt to the ever-changing workspace culture that continues to demand flexibility and innovation.
Weremote has become not just a coworking brand but a thriving ecosystem. It has redefined what it means to work and collaborate. The company aims to be known as “More Than Just Spaces” as it goes beyond providing physical locations. It also offers an inspiring environment designed to foster community, creativity, and growth.
Trish Reposo, co-founder and CEO of Weremote, shares how her company is achieving this goal. “We have what we call as the four P’s that serve as pillars of our success: People, Places, Price, and Partners.
“Needless to say, we value the people who become part of our community. We provide them what they need to help them grow their business.
“The places where we have set up our coworking spaces are carefully selected. This is to ensure the convenience and comfort of our clients.
“We also offer our services and amenities at competitive prices. We don’t want to pose an additional burden especially to companies just starting.
“Finally, we consider each member of our community as partners in our own growth as a flexible coworking brand.”
