Golden Square - Joy at Work

Dr. Silky Mahajan, the entrepreneur of Foods & Nutrition Clinic, is one of our esteemed clients from the JP Nagar branch of Golden Square. Starting with a basic Snap office membership in 2015 where she met her clients on an hourly basis, she has now upgraded to a fully-fledged customized cabin.  Here’s what she had to say about having her office with Golden Square: When your foundation is strong, you can grow as big as possible. Golden Square is my foundation and I’m happy being here. You are alone when you start something, but you don’t feel alone when you’re at Golden Square. This is because the staff and the people here are very welcoming. I moved to Bangalore from Punjab in the year 2012. I was totally new to the city and didn’t know how my business would grow here. I found a lot of options as to where to set up my office in Bangalore, but I was concerned as to whether or not the location and the office space would be suitable for our business req...

Creating your own customized office space isn’t easy, is it? Every company has its own work culture and its own ideal office setup which allows it to be at its most productive state. Every team has its own unique design aesthetic. Every individual has their own lifestyle and environment that they are familiar with and comfortable with. It is very unlikely that anyone will find their ideal workspace easily, and setting it up yourself takes a lot of time and effort - time and effort, which could otherwise be spent actually getting your work done. Setting up an office to suit your specific needs can be a difficult and wearisome task. This was more or less exactly the problem that the US-based MNC Modelytics was facing when they decided to set up an office in Bangalore. Except, for them, it wasn’t much of a problem at all! The entire process was smooth-sailing, and even enjoyable for them because they had the Golden Square team on their side.    M...

The conclusion from the research is remarkable. Virtual Workers are twice as engaged as their office-bound colleagues if they feel that they are part of a team … is a conclusion one can draw from a Recent Research Published in Harvard Business Review https://hbr.org/2019/05/engagement-around-the-world-charted To quote,  “Regular communication with colleagues is important, of course. But as anyone who has worked in an open office can attest, the ability to minimize distractions is crucial to engagement. The critical factor is whether virtual workers feel that they’re part of a team. If they do, they’re twice as engaged as their office-bound colleagues.” Although distraction-free work is important, there are times when we need team interactions. Technology can come to the rescue here. Modern video conferencing software, collaboration tools, and task management systems help us get work done.
