In search of a workspace and community<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Scalgo operates in several countries, but until recently, it had no permanent workspace in Finland. For the company\u2019s only employee in Finland, Pietu Pankkonen, the options were either to continue working remotely from home or to find a dedicated workspace and social environment.<\/p>\n

Before joining VillageWorks at Suomitalo, Pietu tested a few different workspace solutions.<\/p>\n

“Before coming to Suomitalo, I had tried out a couple of different workspaces for a few weeks. But when I arrived here, I knew almost instantly that this was the place I wanted to stay. It\u2019s a beautiful building with stunning views and excellent transport connections.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Workspaces that adapt to different needs<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Coworking has proven to be a great fit for Pietu\u2014not only for practical reasons but also because it makes work more meaningful. He now comes to the office almost every day.<\/p>\n

“My work involves running webinars, workshops, and client meetings. Because of that, I need access to different kinds of spaces, such as quiet rooms, meeting rooms, and places to work with a screen. Technically, I could do all that at home too, but what\u2019s missing there is the social community.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The inspiring atmosphere of the building and its surroundings has also added to the experience.<\/p>\n

“The biggest benefit I\u2019ve gained here is inspiration. Coming to such a beautiful building and environment is a huge motivator in getting work done.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Community Coordinator supports smooth office life<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

“Anni, the Community Coordinator at Suomitalo, has been a huge help. It basically means I don\u2019t have to worry about daily practicalities. Whenever I have a question, I can just ask Anni, and she helps me out\u2014even with simple things like how to use the printer.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A workspace solution worth recommending<\/h3>\n

Pietu has been very satisfied with his experience at VillageWorks and encourages others to explore what coworking could bring to their everyday work.<\/p>\n

“I would recommend VillageWorks to solo entrepreneurs, remote workers, or teams who value an easily accessible office location, functional workspaces, or simply want to be part of an active professional community.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
