/in , , /by

Renting an office in a business center such as Espacio 114 is a way of working that is gaining prominence. More and more freelancers, startups, and micro-SMEs are opting for flexible and efficient workspace solutions. Beyond the standard office concept, business centers are spaces that fit perfectly with what companies need today.

  1. Flexibility in the use of space

One of the keys to business centers is flexibility. While traditional office rental binds companies on long-term contracts and offers little flexibility, business centers have short-term rental options, such as by the hour, week, or month, and allow you to expand or reduce the space you occupy depending on the needs of the company at the time. It can be especially useful for growing businesses and for businesses with workloads that change seasonally.

For example, if you need extra space to manage a particular project or simply want a temporary office while working on a project outside of your usual location, a business center gives you the flexibility you need.

  1. Services included

When you rent an office in a business center, you don’t just rent a space, but you also get a lot of services included. They usually include reception, cleaning, maintenance, internet connection or printers, and many centers also offer the use of meeting rooms and common areas such as kitchens or rest areas. This makes it easier for the company to focus on its business and forget about the rest.

  1. Professional environment and networking

Another very remarkable aspect is the opportunity to work in a professional environment. Business centers bring together a wide variety of companies and professionals, offering networking and collaboration possibilities that you will hardly find in a conventional office. You can come across other entrepreneurs, independent professionals or companies from related sectors with whom you can promote synergies or common projects.

On the other hand, being in a business center also offers a professional image to customers. Having an office in a modern and equipped apartment gives you a lot of confidence.

 

Business Center

In short, choosing to rent an office in a business center is an excellent option for any person or company looking for flexibility, services and a professional work environment. Whether you are self-employed or an SME manager, these spaces have everything you need to grow peacefully.

Corporate Social Responsibility

/in , , , /by

Corporate Social Responsibility is the practice of companies taking responsibility for their impact on society and the environment, going beyond legal obligations and seeking to make a positive contribution to the general welfare.


CSR covers a wide range of issues, from environmental protection to community involvement and employee well-being. Here are some key aspects to consider when addressing CSR:

  • Ethics and Transparency: Companies must operate ethically and transparently in all their activities. This involves maintaining high standards of integrity in relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
  • Environmental Impact: Reducing the ecological footprint is fundamental in CSR. Companies can implement sustainable practices, such as reducing paper use, managing resources efficiently, and adopting renewable energy.
  • Community Engagement: Companies have a responsibility to contribute to the development of the communities in which they operate. This can include corporate volunteering programmes, donations to local organizations, and community development projects.
  • Diversity and Inclusion: Fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment is essential for CSR. Companies can promote equal opportunities, eliminate discrimination, and create policies that support diversity in all its forms.
  • Corporate Governance: Good governance is fundamental to CSR. Companies must establish transparent and accountable governance structures, with a clear separation between management and oversight.

In addition to these aspects, it is crucial for companies to integrate CSR into their organizational culture and throughout their operations. Not only does CSR benefit society and the environment, but it can also have a positive impact on company reputation, customer loyalty, and talent retention.


In short, Corporate Social Responsibility is an integral part of modern business strategy. By adopting sustainable and ethical practices, companies can make a significant contribution to the well-being of society and the planet, while driving their own long-term success. CSR is not only an ethical choice, but also a smart investment in the future.

Workshop: How to make one?

The Workshop It is the meeting of people with common interests who share knowledge and information through practical activities, with the aim of developing concrete skills. These short exercises are introduced to participants by an instructor who guides them and helps them discuss and execute the activities. We’ll help you understand how to make one.


Organizing an event of this type may require considerable effort, but implementing it in your company can help your employees generate new ideas and develop projects optimally. So, if you’re considering creating a workshop, you need to follow some basic steps:

  1. Plan your event: It is important to plan your session before starting with the main idea of the exercise. It is necessary to take into account where it will take place, the number of people who will participate, the date and duration of the event, as well as the specific objectives to be achieved.
  2. Analyze the target audience: By knowing your customers and potential consumers, you will be able to better understand their needs and be inspired to create new ideas.
  3. Structuring the workshop: Once the audience has been analyzed, it is important to structure the activity. Identifying the skills to be developed among the participants and establishing the topics to be discussed during the activity are fundamental steps. It is necessary to create introductory questions to engage participants and explain post-exercise tasks, such as analysis of results.
  4. Conclusions: When the activity ends, it is essential to draw conclusions. These should reflect both the results of the workshop and the ideas that emerged during the exercise.

Using these steps and encouraging a positive and entrepreneurial attitude, you will be able to carry out your workshop successfully. In Espai 114 we have La Sala, a multifunctional space in the center of Badalona that will be perfect to carry out your workshop.

Networking: Tools and Benefits

/in , , , /by

Networking consists of the exchange of information between professionals and companies, which share common interests, and which can lead to a work benefit. You never know who will be the person who can give us a new opportunity that will make our professional life take a turn.

 

Having a networking strategy can be a great benefit to adapt our business to current times.online networking

 

This term is established not only among professionals, but also between institutions and companies that seek to build long-term relationships for mutual benefit.

 

In addition, the pandemic and the normalization of remote work have brought to the world of networking another tool that is working in many sectors: online workshops. Great professionals around the world offer online courses that are an opportunity to acquire new skills while being a great way to link professionally and meet professionals whom we could not approach otherwise.

 

Examples of some benefits of networking:

  • The establishment of a strategic alliance between two companies with the aim of increasing their chances of winning a public tender.
  • Partnering two or more consultants to increase their career opportunities.
  • Collaboration between influencers through social media to benefit from the respective networks of followers.
  • The exchange of contacts in various markets to expand the networks of influence of each company or self-employed worker.

 

 

Networking Tools

The first tool of all is LinkedIn, as it is one of the most important professional social networks in the world. When a company profile is created on LinkedIn and the type of company is selected, the algorithm puts us in touch with similar ones. It allows you to connect with new professionals, companies in the same sector and partners with whom to establish new collaborations. It also offers the possibility of announcing and discovering events in a certain sector.

 

Another platform is Sharp’s. This one is very similar to Tinder but in the business world. It consists of a system of detachable business cards that works as an identifier to match between users.

 

Another easy way to meet interesting people who add value to our sector are events. The face-to-face relationship provides better communication and closer treatment. These can be industry-specific events, panel discussions, work breakfasts, or after-hours events.

 

Finally, one of the best options is Coworking spaces. Going to work in an office with other professionals or freelancers is one of the most useful and easy ways to network.

What is the perfect work environment for a programmer?

/in , , /by

The environment in which we work determines much of our performance at work. Si això passa amb la majoria dels treballs, encara més amb els programadors, que requereixen una gran capacitat de concentració.

programmer workspace

TEMPERATURE

The temperature in which you develop your work must be correct. Spending many hours sitting in one place requires a space that is at a comfortable temperature for you. The air conditioning is important to avoid the cold in winter and the heat in summer.

 

DESK

You have to have the necessary space to comfortably display your work tools without being overcrowded. The table must be large enough to accommodate it completely and you must have the necessary plugs nearby.

 

COMFORT

The chair is one of the most relevant points. It should adapt to you and help you achieve an optimal posture.

 

ILUMINATION

The best is natural lighting, not only for visual health reasons but also for the stimulus it provides when it comes to motivating you.

 

CONNECTION

And last but not least, have a good, fast and stable Internet connection. In our center we have a fiber optic connection.

Green jobs, contributing to the adaptation against climate change

/in , , , , /by

Green Jobs. We explain you what they are.

We are in a new era where climate change is no longer just a reality, but we live the consequences day after day. Global warming, pollution of oceans and rivers and air pollution are in the news every week.

The growth of the global population, the large industries, the habits of life that we are accustomed to lead and the level of consumption evoke the degeneration of our planet.

We have long been in this situation and thousands of people are already working on the ecological transition to improve the condition of planet earth.

We are talking about Green Jobs. What are they?

According to the ILO’s Green Jobs Programme, are works that contribute to preserving and restoring the environment by incorporating one or more of the following aspects: increasing the efficiency of the consumption of energy and raw materials; limit greenhouse gas emissions; minimise waste and pollution; protect and restore ecosystems; and contribute to adaptation to climate change.

The new Green Economy economic development model was born to be able to reconcile economic growth that generates a sustainable environmental impact and collective well-being.

This new model has created and transformed jobs in Green Jobs in different sectors such as industry, construction, urban planning, agriculture and tourism among many others.

There are a wide variety of “green” jobs, but here are examples of some of them:

– Installers and designers of photovoltaic systems: they are profiles that are increasingly requested, since they give both companies and individuals economic benefits for the energy adaptation of sources such as solar, an alternative to the traditional ones we know.

– Energy manager: is the person in charge of rationalizing energy consumption in companies. Its responsibility is to ensure energy efficiency, limit waste and, as much as possible, it must be able to be in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies.

– Quantity surveyors or architects: These are the ones in charge of giving the Energy Certificates. They are the people in charge of evaluating the energy behavior of a house or any space that needs this certificate, also taking into account the materials with which it is built.

– Environmental chemists: they are experts in seeing eco-sustainability levels. They must be able to foresee and study with a high degree of precision the results of the interaction between the natural environment and chemicals.

– Ecochef: Although it may not seem like it, agriculture and livestock play a very important role in these aspects. The ecochef site is responsible for contributing and contributing to the creation of eating habits with less impact, such as Km0 products. At the same time that they contribute to local trade, they help reduce emissions, since they do not participate in the industrial transport of food between countries.

These are just some examples, but there is a wide range of jobs considered Green Jobs, which will increasingly be transformed and evolved so that, together, we can improve the living conditions on our planet.

And, even if your work is not green, you can start contributing with your grain of sand individually either by recycling or using public transport, for example.
In this link we leave you an entry in which we talk about how to reduce energy consumption in offices to collaborate with the fight against climate change.

Flexible schedule: advantages for your company

/in , , , /by

Flexible schedule is increasingly implemented by companies. You may have considered implementing it for your workers yourself, but you are not sure of the benefits it entails. Continue reading to get out of doubt.

 

First of all, what does flexible schedule means?

 

Flexible schedule consist of offering facilities to workers with regard to the reconciliation of their personal and professional lives. These will comply with the hours stipulated in your contract, but may vary the start and end times, the distribution of them during the week or even carry them out outside the office.

 

As a company, what are the advantages that the flexible schedule of my workers will bring me?

 

Commuting to work

– Reduced travel time

There are many employees who spend a large amount of time a day commuting to and from work.

 

If we eliminate the obligation to go to the workplace to carry out their tasks, workers earn a lot of daily time that they can devote to other things.

 

productivity at work

– Commitment and productivity

This increase in the freedom of employees translates directly into an increase in motivation and commitment they have with the company.

At the same time, this motivation translates into increased efficiency and productivity.

 

Workers feel that they make much better use of the time they spend on their work.

 

reduce fixed costs

– Reduce costs

A direct benefit of flexibility is the savings in the company’s fixed costs. If the number of employees working in the office is reduced or completely eliminated, we can save the cost of rent or consider replacing it with a coworking space that will mean a much lower expense and much more adaptable to our needs.

 

less absenteeism

– Minimize absenteeism

The high conciliation provided by the flexible schedule means that, in situations such as medical appointments or other types of unforeseen events, the worker chooses to modify the work schedule instead of not doing the hours.

 

These are just a few of the advantages that flexible schedule can bring to your company.

How to have a good work-life balance doing telework

/in , , , /by

Having a good work-life balance doing telework can seem difficult. Finding a balance between procrastination and the large volumes of work that lead us to work many more hours than stipulated may seem impossible.

 

We often find that anxiety levels increase and our motivation plummets. Another common aspect is frustration and loss of confidence in one’s abilities.

 

telework

 

Maybe you’ve made a change from face-to-face work to telecommuting and you feel overwhelmed by this new work dynamic. If you want to know how to reconcile doing telework, here are some tips.

  • The place from which you work is different, so the way you work must adapt to this new situation. You face new challenges that will require new ways of facing them.
  • There will be interruptions. Normalize them. You cannot control the external factors that cause you small distractions in your workday and you must face them naturally and not with frustration. If you get a knock at the door when you’re on a video call, for example, you can take it with humor and not frustration. Your interlocutors will thus show more empathy and you will not lose your professionalism.
  • Avoid feelings of loneliness by periodically scheduling meetings with your co-workers or boss. Keeping in touch with people in your professional environment will influence your motivation.
  • Set a disconnection schedule. Just because you work remotely doesn’t mean you have to be available 24/7.
  • Move. It is possible that working from home you have considerably reduced the physical exercise you did daily. Try to replace it by doing activities such as going for a run, doing yoga classes or going to the gym.
  • Working outside the home is always an option. Have you ever considered working from a coworking? The atmosphere is very professional and will help you be more productive. In Espai 114 we have a coworking in the center of Badalona. Do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested.
