Recently a way of working in foreign country is getting very popular online, Serviced Office. A group of freelancers working in different fields work in the same office and claim each other as the "roommate”. These special roommates online has thousands of hundreds of "fans", deserved as the network splashing. The serviced office they chose not only to reduce office costs, but also to master fashion information and stimulate creative inspiration from the face-to-face exchange of information among the practitioners from all fields. It is really precious in the prevalence of electronic means of communication today.
I am very curious about it, so I search the relevant information online and found a lot of serviced offices in Petaling Jaya. PJ is really following the trend to catch up with a world-class city!
What are serviced offices in Petaling Jaya?
A serviced office is also known as “Joint workspace”. It is referred to those employees who are engaging in different occupations or employed by different agencies, especially favored by freelancers.
The emergence of "serviced office" is due to some network entrepreneurs trying to find new office space in order to not have to work in cafes, independent office or home.
Actually the concept of "serviced office" is not new. It is born in 1999, and put into practice in 2005 by programmer Brad Neuberg in San Francisco.
Today, there are more than 400 serviced offices all over the world. When they provide office space for the users, a lot of them also serve as the social spaces of different professions at the same time to enhance interpersonal communication in the era which the electronic means communication is taking the prevalence.
Petaling Jaya has dozens of serviced offices. These offices of different characteristics are oriented at different populations. For example, there is an office, called “Pizza Island”, is for the exclusive use of female cartoonists; and another office, called “new office city" is open to everyone, but the users must comply with three room’s regulation: attendance, with work to do and not to make trouble.
The roommates are seemingly busy their own unrelated work, but they have one thing in common, namely a keen grasp of fashion information. In the popular words on net, they are a group easily impacted by special information, as well as unique and influential themselves. I want to work in such an office, it seems really enjoyable and helpful.
