The shift in office-based jobs over the past two years has been huge. Where many roles were presumed to need in-office collaboration pre-pandemic, remote work revealed that both job satisfaction and effectiveness went up for many workers.
Now, many remote workers can live where they want, using either a home office or a coworking space as their home base for work.
Coworking spaces are shared office environments that often include a mix of open floor plans with desks, private offices, audio-visual equipped rooms for meetings, and more. There are also amenities available like beverages and programming, and events organized for members.

3 Prominent 2022 Work-From-Home Trends
1. Hiring shortage facilitates negotiating remote work
After extreme hiring shortages in early to mid-2021, many companies are seeing a second wave of shortages.
This time, it’s being called “The Great Resignation,” a secondary effect where workers who previously stuck with imperfect jobs are emboldened to job hunt because of all the ‘help wanted’ signs they’re seeing. As a result, many companies are seeing a lot of turnover.
New hires now have room to negotiate perks like remote work when coming on board. This is turning some temporary work-from-home arrangements into a permanent feature.
What does this mean for Las Vegas coworking? Expect to see a more vibrant variety of workers in 2022 in coworking spaces, as more workers prove they can do a great job while working remotely.
2. New routines include both in-person and remote workers
One of the big shifts in the past six months has been refining the tools that made all-remote collaboration possible and choosing technological solutions that work for hybrid meetings and events. This means an online/virtual connection and a lively in-person discussion or agenda, all working together.
Remote workers may find that they occasionally want a meeting space that is A/V equipped. Las Vegas coworking space Work in Progress offers rentable or subscription meeting room options.
This solution is likely to become more common in both small, all-remote companies and larger companies that occasionally need to interface with a local group of in-person workers. Coworking spaces provide the flexibility needed to address new work-from-home trends like meetings that must include both in-person and remote workers.
3. Hybrid schedules become more common
As more people lock in a full-time remote or hybrid schedule for the long-term, many are realizing they don’t actually want to work from home. It’s hard to get that separation from household needs and duties, but at the same time, going back to the office with your coworkers may not be the right fit either.
As a result, having a third place, a working space that isn’t necessarily right next to your boss’s office, is becoming a valuable option.
Use Coworking to Achieve Work From Home Success in 2022
