At its core, a purpose-driven workspace must be created with an understanding of why people come to work and how best to engage and motivate them.

An environment that is focused on purpose and values will help your team understand why what they are doing matters and make them feel more connected to their work. This sense of purpose, engagement and ownership can lead to increased confidence, stronger relationships between teams and improved business-wide productivity.

We work with you, to help provide a working environment that suits your business. WorkWell locations offer purpose-driven private and virtual offices, co-working, breakout areas, phone booths and meeting rooms to meet your requirements.

Good meetings are the cornerstone of productive decision-making, but not all meetings are created equally.

Inefficient meetings can drain valuable time, demotivate and create unnecessary distractions. A recent article by McKinsey & Company highlights three critical questions to ask before scheduling your next meeting:

📌 Should this even be a meeting at all?
📌 What is this meeting for?
📌 What is everyone's role?

Let WorkWell be your trusted partner, creating a conducive environment for efficient, impactful and successful end-of-year meeting sessions or as part of your strategy for 2024.

How can you beat a December productivity drop?

Winter is synonymous with low levels of productivity and studies show that December is often the least productive month of the year.

From cold, dark commutes, to limited outdoor breaks, seasonal illness and people becoming distracted by festivities, there is often a clear drop in performance as teams begin to wind down.

To help maintain productivity levels during December try:

📊 Giving your team space
Provide break out zones where individuals or small groups can retreat and focus, away from the distractions of the office.

📊 Planning better meetings
Hold end-of-year meetings off-site or in dedicated meeting spaces to allow for a change in environment and minimise distractions.

📊 Setting short-term goals
Manageable, short-term objectives can create a sense of purpose, direction and achievement when the tasks are complete.

📊 Embracing the festivities
Don’t kick against the festive spirit. Celebrate the great year and discuss the year ahead to reward and boost team morale and communication.

Picture this… 💭 You're in your own office, one meeting after the next runs on longer than expected. The minutes turn into hours, and before you know it, you feel like you’re behind as your entire day becomes a blur of back-to-back discussions 💭

Life is too short for bad meetings!

As the end of 2023 approaches, how are you planning to get the most from your year-end meetings?

Whether for an end-of-year financial review, strategic planning for 2024 or performance appraisals, effective year-end meetings offer you and your team the opportunity to reflect on all the hard work and effort that has gone into the past quarter and to evaluate current strategies, set objectives for the coming year and to focus on long-term planning.

The meeting space you choose will set the tone. Do you want your meeting to be informal or formal? Large or small? Will participants be attending in person or virtually? Holding your meeting in a space which caters for your exact requirements and helps energise your team will ensure your meeting is focused, efficient and productive.

There's something special about coworking spaces.

Coworking trends indicate that an increasing number of people show higher levels of engagement and motivation when they are part of a coworking space, and studies suggest that the environment boosts productivity in a variety of ways, with one of the biggest benefits being the opportunity for collaboration and networking.

Working in a traditional office environment, people can often find themselves limited to interaction with colleagues within their own department or company. In a coworking space, however, employees have the opportunity to connect with like-minded people from a variety of industries and professional backgrounds, which can lead to new ideas, partnerships and even clients.

According to a study by Emergent Research, a massive 79% of respondents reported that coworking has expanded their professional networks.

Unlock your team’s full potential with a WorkWell coworking space. 🚀

A study conducted by Just Eat for Business, showed that 82% of UK employees would like their workplace to hold more regular team building events in order to boost work satisfaction, and it’s easy to see why.

Team building has long been recognised as a powerful tool for enhancing workplace culture and productivity. Other benefits include increased communication, employee motivation, engagement, collaboration and a greater sense of community.

Workwell’s yearly calendar of events, along with the rural setting and well-equipped indoor spaces, provide the perfect opportunity for our members to participate in, or run their own, team building exercises.

We're thrilled to present an expanded range of meeting room styles, each designed to elevate your business experience.

Our new meeting rooms offer an array of options, and here's what makes them truly exceptional:

💡 Versatile spaces: Our meeting rooms offer flexibility for various meeting formats, from brainstorming sessions to client presentations.

💡 Productive meetings: Maximise meeting efficiency with well-equipped facilities and professional support staff, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

💡 Catering services: Enhance your meeting experience with catering options, from coffee and snacks to gourmet meals, to keep your team energised and satisfied.

💬“I knew we had found the perfect place to thrive and create a positive work environment.”

We recently caught up with WorkWell member Thomson environmental consultants to discuss the challenges the team faced at their previous office space and how Carrwood Park by WorkWell provided the solution.

Charlotte Ward, Ecological Consultant & Marketing Co-ordinator said; "Our former office space was outdated and situated in a built-up area with no green spaces nearby. Traffic was also a problem with Leeds City Centre commuters.”

"The contrast between our previous office and the potential we saw at Carrwood Park was astounding. In that moment, I knew we had found the perfect place to thrive and create a positive work environment.”

The phenomenon known as ‘turnover contagion’ shows that when one employee leaves, others are more likely to follow suit. Don’t let the chain-reaction affect your company’s future.

Provide a well-designed, engaging office environment which can aid productivity, efficiency and job satisfaction among employees, making them more likely to stay in their roles.

To recognise pre-quitting behaviours and take proactive measures, consider implementing:

⭐ Regular career conversations to understand employee aspirations.
⭐ Internal mobility programs to keep talent engaged.
⭐ Stay-interviews to solicit valuable feedback.

What is your staff retention strategy?

Employee retention is important for a stable, productive team, but what’s the key to building staff engagement within your business?

“Working hand in hand with the WorkWell team during the development process was an absolute joy.”

We recently sat down with our member, Academic Appointments Ltd, to discuss their move to WorkWell’s Brookfield Court.

“They took the time to truly understand our unique requirements and went the extra mile to create a custom-made office space which features an internal meeting room and office. They even let us pop by and see the progression of the office before we moved in.”

Shocking statistic alert!

According to HR News, 23% of employees in the UK don’t have access to any personal development opportunities, and only 43% have access to both online and offline training sessions.

To keep employees happy and to retain high-quality staff, it’s imperative that employers take the time learn.

What can you do to help your team?

💡 Listen to your employees' career aspirations and align training accordingly.
💡 Encourage mentorship and knowledge-sharing within your organisation.
💡 Create a supportive learning environment where employees can share their growth journey.
