Coworking spaces offer excellent work environments for freelancers, startups, and established businesses. The unique blend of creativity, skills, and hard work result in an atmosphere that is hard to resist. But, to channel all of this inspiring energy into building something successful, a little bit of etiquette needs to be set in place. Here are our top five Do’s and Don’ts of working in shared office spaces like our Glashaus in Malta<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do: Socialise and Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A coworking office is the ideal work-place-setting to meet hard-working people regularly. It creates just the right environment to form ties with creative minds coming from various industry backgrounds. Make sure to take advantage and have a look at the businesses and great ideas that have settled on the desk right next to you. Don’t be shy; a friendly conversation over a steaming cup of coffee could turn into an exciting partnership opportunity – you never know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t: Hog all the Office Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You spend hours on end to get ahead of your workload, scamming through page long to-do lists, in a Buddha-like concentration mode – and then you forgot. About all the equipment that you collected on your desk and that others have been looking for all day. Ups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you want to take full advantage of all the handy office perks that come with the coworking space, but don’t be selfish about it. Once you finished a task, take the shared utilities back to where they belong so others can use them, too. Should you have to take the printer or copy machine hostage, make sure to inform coworkers before you start your marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do: Be Mindful of Others<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Treating others with respect and accepting their boundaries is common sense. But we all know too well that on hectic business days, things can get turned upside down quickly. So, as a friendly reminder for those busy afternoons, be mindful towards the people working around you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
