We spend 35% of our life at work or around 92,120 hours (assuming you work full time between ages of 18 and 67) This is a mindblowing amount of time spent working. And yet, this is the average; there are many people who work overtime or have a side hustle on top of their 9-5.
All this being said, shouldn’t you like where you work? I’m not talking about who you work for or what you do - that’s a whole ‘nother blog post. But at the least, shouldn’t you enjoy the space you call your office and spend so much time in?
We think so. In fact, it’s our business to make sure you do. The great thing about Work Better’s business model is that members get to focus on what they do best (running their company) and leave all the logistical office crap to us.
- Coffee, we got you.
- Office cleaning and maintenance, we got you.
- Bathroom cleaning, maintenance, and stocking, we got you.
- Virtual tech support, that too.
- Greeting your guests off the elevator and offering them a hot beverage, yep, we’ve got that too.
- And that’s just the beginning...
Imagine moving into your new private office with desks, storage, 1 GB WiFi, and a printer and fax ready to go. It’s a turnkey experience. You can bring the succulents, photo of mom, wall calendar, and the framed credentials. We’ll handle the rest.
Here’s what current members love about their office:
“The way work Should be. Do your job amazingly and have fun! Great staff and it makes sense bc they love their jobs. Fantastic.”
- Kelly C. (Park Avenue South)
“It's a little difficult to describe myself as a Work Better "client", because it just feels like home, and the staff, like family. And it's all because of the above-and-beyond efforts of Lori Ziesmer and her team. Prior to joining Work Better a few years ago, I searched high and low throughout the Downtown Chicago area, and believe me, I saw my share of ‘interesting’ spaces, and real ‘charmers’ in facilities management. However, I was blown away from the second I set foot in the beautiful, hip but professionally decorated lobby to the breathtaking views of the downtown Chicago skyline (at all angles).
- Don K. (Chicago)
“Highly recommend the space to any professional. Folks were polite & organized, and the venue was clean, quiet and well maintained.”
- Will H. (Grand Central W)
“Super friendly/helpful staff Work Better Chelsea location”
- Anonymous (Chelsea)
“Friendly, professional, accommodating, nice office, technology, coffee, location”
- Anonymous (Wall Street)
