Don‘t be too noisy: Avoid standing in hallways while talking loudly on your phone. And,
consider others when you‘re having a
robust
conversation in the corridors by
seeking out
a
private room. Some co-working offices even offer dedicated soundproofed booths to keep noise
levels at a minimum.
Dress appropriately: This portrays a professional environment in front of clients, so dress
your best
for everyone‟s sake
.
Keep the kitchen tidy: In co-working offices, there can be a sense that since you don‘t
own the kitchen, then you don‘t have to maintain it. That‘s silly. Leaving an area as you found it
is really important.
Don‘t treat the office like your personal lounge room: Most co-working offices have a
common area. These are for relaxing or informal
gatherings
. Respect the space and leave room
for everyone to enjoy.
Don‘t
poach
staff: In this environment, it‘s natural that you‘re going to find someone you
want to bring over to your team. But, you must go through the proper channels first. Poaching
can cause divides in the office environment, making things
awkward
.
Be personable: One of the main reasons people turn to co-working spaces is to have a
social environment while they work. Use this to your advantage to network and collaborate with
people you wouldn‘t otherwise meet. It will be good for both your social and business life.
While these etiquette rules may seem like common sense, Folley says most would be
surprised by the number of people who don‘t show basic consideration towards others in co-
working environments.
