Productivity after a Pandemic? | Sandbox Coworking Spaces in a Post-Lockdown World

After grueling months of not being able to open our workspace to both old and new residents, Sandbox has learnt a lot during the reopening process. An increase in number of new residents and walk ins have made us question on what happened to the need for workspaces now? Looking at some factors, Sandbox can now point out to some factors to why people are looking towards co-working spaces for the best places to work in KL.

On a podcast called the Fifth Wall, Brett White a CEO focused on Asian investment firms spoke about how companies are now seeing the effect of working from home taking its toll on ASEAN companies. Without the ability for physical and quick deliberations between each other, productivity takes a hit in the long run. Sandbox can attest to this as we have also received increased interest in our workspaces and they point to the ineffectiveness of working from home after 3 months and needing a place that feels like home but isn’t.

In addition to this, it’s the flexibility of Sandbox and coworking spaces in general that attract these companies to rent. In a world where we still do not know when the cure for COVID-19 will be found, renting places for a long period of time can be a big risk for some companies. As such, separation of departments into different spaces seems to be the current favored of choice. Due to coworking spaces allowing contracts on a month to month basis like Sandbox, companies also feel less stressed about their finances.

Finally, Sandbox has also found that in the Post - MCO world that workspaces provide facilities that working from home may not. From high speed wifi to printing services, Coworking spaces are usually outfitted with more amenities than regular offices. What also becomes attractive for workers is that a coworking space is essentially more safer than cafes as walk ins are more monitored and cleaning processes are done daily like in Sandbox.

With all these benefits, the coworking industry does not look like it is starting at a pit however are able to put themselves at the center of workspaces in Kuala Lumpur as a whole. With the ability to accommodate groups without risk, great facilities and an specifically designed environment to boot : Sandbox is ready to increase everyone’s productivity after this Pandemic.
