Coworking Switzerland

📣📣Manifesto Value: People over Personalities 📣📣 In coworking, people are the true foundation — not egos, job titles, or personal brands. Spaces thrive when individuals come together as equals, share ideas openly, and see each other as collaborators rather than competitors. Research continues to show that meaningful human connection is more than a “nice-to-have” at work — it’s a performance driver. 74% of professionals say having friends at work makes them more productive and motivated, while workplaces that foster belonging see stronger engagement and retention (HR Review 2024; Inspiring Workplaces 2024). When people feel seen and included, communities flourish — and so does creativity. This November, as we head toward the Coworking Europe Conference (Nov 19–21), we’re reminded that the coworking movement has always been about people — the individuals who build, shape, and sustain our communities. Behind every coworking space are hundreds of personal stories, shared projects, and small daily gestures that make the collective stronger than the sum of its parts. 🌿 “People over Personalities” is more than a motto — it’s an invitation to show up as we are, to listen, and to build workplaces where authenticity and empathy matter as much as expertise. Who’s someone in your coworking community who embodies this spirit? Tag them and share a moment that inspired you. #CoworkingSwitzerland #CoworkingManifesto #PeopleOverPersonalities #CoworkingEurope2025 #CommunityDriven #FutureOfWork #BelongingAtWork #HumanConnection #CollaborationOverCompetition Sources: https://lnkd.in/ezxkdunP https://lnkd.in/e9tEX8bm

📣📣 Manifesto Value: Flexibility over Rigid Structure📣📣 In coworking, flexibility isn’t just about where we work — it’s about how we think, connect, and create. The best coworking communities evolve with their members: they adapt to new rhythms, ideas, and possibilities rather than staying fixed within a single format. Studies show that flexible and hybrid work models now account for over 28 % of full-time employees, and employees in flexible environments report higher satisfaction, engagement, and productivity (OfficeRnD 2024; BLS 2023). Flexibility has become one of the most valued aspects of modern work, with 83 % of workers stating it as their ideal work model (Slack Future Forum Pulse 2023). These findings affirm what coworking has practiced for years — that adaptability fuels both innovation and well-being. That’s why our Coworking Day on a Train 2025 is more than just an event; it’s a moving symbol of this manifesto value in action. As we gather on the tracks this November 26th, we’ll embody what it means to work without walls: blending motion, connection, and creativity into one shared journey. 🚆 Flexibility over rigid structure means reimagining what a workspace can be — and remembering that sometimes the best ideas happen when everything else is in motion.

📣📣Manifesto Value: Doing over Saying 📣📣 The coworking movement has always been built by doers — communities and spaces that value experimentation, trying new formats, and learning by action, rather than focusing on just talk. In coworking, true impact happens when someone says “Let’s try this” and then goes ahead and does it — launching a pilot project, rearranging space for a different kind of event, or designing a collaboration across regions. Research supports this orientation. A cross-cultural study found that individuals with stronger “action orientation” (i.e. the capacity to initiate and persist in actions) displayed significantly greater well-being and more effective goal-enactment across Germany, New Zealand and Bangladesh (Chatterjee, Baumann & Osborne 2018, https://lnkd.in/efrb7nwD). Meanwhile, a major review of workplace motivation highlights that proactive effort — working with others, for others, through others — fosters motivation and sustained performance (Grant & Shandell 2022, https://lnkd.in/eZmGfcHF). And in the domain of job search, researchers found that action-state orientation moderated how intentions became actual behaviour: those more action-oriented were more likely to translate intention into doing (Song et al. 2006, https://lnkd.in/ek-AFMAq). For the Swiss coworking scene, our commitment to “doing over saying” means more than talk: it means piloting a new event format, co-hosting a cross-space workshop, or simply rearranging collaboration zones to spark something new. Each action signals movement. Each experiment opens learning. Each idea executed brings us closer to the future of work. 👉 What is one small action your space (or you as a member) could take this week to embody “doing over saying”? Share it or keep it in motion. 🚀 #CoworkingSwitzerland #CoworkingManifesto #ActionOverWords #FutureOfWork #CoworkingCulture #CommunityDriven

📣📣Manifesto Value: Participation of Observation 📣📣 In coworking, showing up isn’t enough, what really transforms a space into a thriving community is active participation. Spaces where members take part in events, share ideas, contribute feedback or collaborate with others are far more than shared desks: they become engines of creativity, connection, and belonging. 🤝 Research underlines this clearly: 71 % of coworking members report that they interact and network with others in their space, and 64 % say they have made valuable professional connections through those in-person interactions (Coworks 2023, https://lnkd.in/ex5BabXs). Meanwhile, 84 % of coworkers say they feel more motivated and engaged at work in a coworking environment compared to working alone. (TeamStage 2024, https://lnkd.in/gS5MKGZg). These numbers show that participation doesn’t just feel good; it measurably boosts satisfaction, engagement, and outcomes. 📈 For coworking spaces in Switzerland, this means there’s real value in designing for participation: hosting micro-events, encouraging feedback, creating informal spaces for conversation, or even starting community boards where ideas can be shared. When members are encouraged to contribute everyone benefits: better morale, stronger connections, and higher retention. 👉 If you lead a space, work in one, or just care about how we can build stronger coworking ecosystems: what’s one small way you’ve seen participation change the experience in your space?

🙌 Why we value Collaboration over Competition 🙌 This month, we’re highlighting the Manifesto values that shape Coworking Switzerland — and we're starting with one that lies at the heart of our movement: Collaboration over Competition. In the coworking world, shared success builds stronger communities. When spaces collaborate instead of compete — by exchanging ideas, sharing resources, or co-creating events — everyone wins: members, operators, and the local ecosystem. 🌱 And the research backs it up: 🔹 A study of 75 organizations across 17 coworking spaces found that higher levels of collaboration strongly correlate with greater innovation and adaptability (arXiv, 2021: https://lnkd.in/gYpCjbAY). 🔹 Another study showed that members who engage in collaborative learning report higher work performance and motivation (Journal of Business Economics and Management, 2022: https://lnkd.in/gccnMMe7). For coworking in Switzerland, this means that every partnership — whether between spaces, members, or regions — strengthens the fabric of our national network. 💪 Together, we can move beyond competition and build a coworking movement grounded in mutual support and shared growth. 👉 Join us this month as we spotlight more manifesto principles that shape the future of coworking in Switzerland and find our manifesto at: www.coworking.ch #CoworkingSwitzerland #CoworkingManifesto #Collaboration #FutureOfWork #CommunityDriven #SwissCoworking #CollaborationOverCompetition #CoworkingCulture
