As the working environment evolves, the way we do our jobs is shifting profoundly – but what isn’t changing is the need for collaboration and communication. Many businesses are now setting up bases in workplace hubs like the ones we have here at Broxbourne Enterprise Centres (BEC).
Here are 10 reasons why.
- Sense of belonging in the workplace
Though hybrid and remote work are very much here to stay, it can still help you to have a physical base for the business to store common resources, hold meetings and work together in person. With meeting, breakout and café spaces at Hoddesdon and Theobalds where your team can socialise, the location can also help foster your company’s culture. Having your space in a workplace hub can be more flexible and inexpensive than a traditional separate office.
2. Networking and collaboration
Getting to know your neighbours in the workplace hub can lead to the sharing of ideas and contacts, and potentially opportunities that can benefit you both. One-to-one business support is also available at Theobalds Enterprise Centre.
3. Improved communication
Being able to have your team in a room together more often makes it easier for them to get to know each other and work together. At Hoddesdon and Theobalds, you’ll also have a staffed reception and have your calls and mail handled for you, giving you more time to do what you do best.
4. Bespoke expert business support
When you take up your purpose-built workspace at BEC, you’re not just getting a productive location – you’re also gaining access to a team of industry experts that can give you personalised one-to-one coaching, support on investments, marketing and scaling up, and workshops and masterclasses to further develop your business.
5. Better onboarding experience
New colleagues joining your business will be able to integrate better when they can work alongside you and get to know your team face to face.
6. Great conference facilities and event spaces
Conference facilities are expensive for your business to maintain, particularly as you probably don’t need to use them all the time. But at Hoddesdon and Theobalds, you can access serviced meeting rooms or conference and event spaces whenever you need them, at competitive rates and at times that suit you. With fast and reliable Wifi to AV and presentation gear, interactive whiteboards, HD screens and video teleconferencing equipment, you can rest assured you’ll have everything you need to make your event a success.
7. Better recognition
A prestigious business address can elevate your presence in the marketplace, and make it easier for potential customers to understand where you are and find you. It also provides a place for you to meet new clients – and with both Theobalds and Hoddesdon just a few minutes off the M25, they’ll not have any trouble getting to you.
8. Unified employee experience
Providing a more common experience for your team at a centralised location can improve camaraderie and solidarity, and help ensure they all pull together to get you the best possible results.
9. Flexible options
With dedicated coworking spaces, you have the freedom to work on your terms, whenever best suits you. At BEC, you can have space for hours, days or months – and with free parking, chargeable EV points and a secure cycle park, you won’t waste time looking for somewhere to put your car or bike. There’s unlimited tea and coffee, too, to keep you going as long as necessary. With the option for a dedicated desk, you can have access 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
10. Great events
At BEC, you’ll have access to captivating events and enriching masterclasses that will give you valuable new connections and inspire you and your business to reach new heights, and you will also have access to a base where you can host your own events.
