Work-life balance is all about finding that sweet spot between your job and your personal life. It's about consciously managing your time and energy so you can rock your career while still having plenty of room for self-care and living your best life outside of work.

But why should we care about work-life balance?

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern work culture, shared workspaces like Rume 2 have emerged as more than just a trend. What was once considered an alternative to traditional office setups has now transformed into a preferred choice for many companies, giving employers and employees flexibility in their working patterns. In this blog post, we'll delve into the reasons why coworking spaces work well for both teams and larger businesses.

In recent years, the traditional office landscape has undergone a significant transformation. With the rise of remote working and shared working spaces like Rume2, companies are exploring new ways to enhance satisfaction and productivity. One previously unconventional yet increasingly popular trend in these shared working environments is the presence of dogs.

Happy International Women’s Day 2024! Today, instead of listing all the famous women that we admire we’ve decided to highlight some of the inspirational women we’ve met since opening our coworking doors in 2019. We have met so many fantastic human beings but these ladies have made an impact on us, drum roll please………..

1345 sign ups, 19,327 bookings, 81,641hours and 45minutes of coworking since we opened the doors in 2019. Wow!

As we celebrate the fifth anniversary of our coworking space, we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible journey we've been on, especially navigating the unprecedented challenges of a global pandemic (which now seems a lifetime ago!).

Working from home has become the norm for many of us, especially in recent times. While the flexibility of remote work has its perks, the novelty of setting up shop at the kitchen table can wear off quickly especially if you have small children running around or you’ve run out of milk!

The recent change in social attitudes towards women returning to work has had an immense positive impact on various elements of everyday life. As societies progress and the idea of women in work becomes more accepted, women have been able to reclaim their rightful place as leaders and innovators. 

At Rume2 we love meeting all of your furry friends and incorporating an element of your personal life into the working environment. However, the benefits of having your furry companions by your side while working has proven to have a multitude of benefits!

Now that we are well and truly established as a nation of flexible hybrid workers, it’s likely you now split your time between the office and home every week.

For most “home working” means just that. Working directly out of your house at perhaps your kitchen table or if you are lucky a home office.

any of us now find it hard to get motivated and feel positive towards the idea of working, especially since the rocky interruptions we have faced over the past two years with Covid. That’s one of the main reasons why coworking is becoming so popular again, having no restrictions now allows us to join together in unison once more.

Are you still mainly working from home? Are you worried about the rising living costs whilst you repeatedly click on the kettle, pop the heating on & indulge in constant trips to the fridge for snacks?

 Do you think that coworking is an additional cost you could do without?

As we have all adapted to remote working in the last few months the working population has been on a steep learning curve on the impact of working from home on efficiency, motivation and mental health.

Whilst this impact is felt keenly by the individuals working from home, employers with a responsibility towards their employees are also trying to strike the right balance between the good of the business and the good of their staff.

A recent report released by Microsoft has highlighted a number of ways in which we have been affected both personally and as a business community.

The full report is here but we have pulled together some of the most interesting points we came across.

Our recent survey of 350 small businesses across the county of Sussex results have shown that 58% have seen a reduction of over 50% of their income as a direct result of COVID-19, with a shocking 26% experiencing a decline of over 90%.

We are delighted to announce our expansion after just one year in business.

Well we have pretty much come to the end of our first year of coworking in our lovely Chichester space.

We thought we would use our Mantra WORK. TALK. GROW. to take a look at just how far we have come.
