With huge changes in social and business Covid-19 is driving us to new ways of working. Working from home has many advantages, you can avoid a commute, save money, and spend more time with family. But there are disadvantages too, it’s harder to bounce ideas off fellow workers, to establish a company culture, and to network effectively with others.
Remote working hubs could represent something of a happy medium. Essentially, they are co-working facilities where people from different companies can work alongside each other with access to good connectivity and a range of other facilities. Around 300 such hubs exist around the country enabling people to live and work in the regions instead of facing a long journey to work from the commuter belt. They can help people enjoy a better quality of life, while also bringing more footfall to regional towns.
Kinsale Digital Hub based in the town centre has been revamped and meets the safety requirements of modern co working space and the first of it’s kind in the area. “ We have enquiries from tech firms looking to HQ here to start ups looking for a desk and it suits SMEs and Entrepreneurs to have a low cost base and good Wifi. Some of our users of the Hub find it useful to work there a few days a week such as CEOs working from home and to save on commuting.
Some of the benefits of Kinsale Digital Hub to the area include :
- More high quality, highly skilled jobs in the regions.
- Business creation, growth and expansion.
- Increased economic activity, local spending and employment.
