Membership: what is it?
Membership refers to a concept of “aMembership ” and of” members ”. It is indeed a subscription, as for a gym for example, which allows you to use offices on an ad hoc basis.
Each coworking space freely defines its formulas but the principle is often the same. The company that wants to join subscribes A monthly or annual subscription, with a short commitment (3 to 6 months) and has a certain number of days per month to take advantage of the premises. The member can then add days according to his needs, at a rate defined in advance. He accesses the various spaces thanks to an individual connected badge, which then makes it possible to count the coworking days consumed. Generally, several formulas are proposed, to adapt to the needs and expectations of each:
· An “unlimited” formula to use all the common areas as many days as you want per month. Sometimes, the subscription can also include several hours of making the meeting room available.
· A “one-off” formula which allows you to access shared spaces a certain number of days per week or per month.
You can also choose private offices with membership, within a coworking space. Why? Simply to take advantage of a closed and dedicated room, to meet up with your team, while having access to the common rooms for meetings, breaks or even lunch.

To adapt to this new way of working, companies are focusing on third places and abandoning their traditional offices. Since employees are not present all week, membership is a good option for rent a la carte workspace. This solution also makes it possible to have employees in the 4 corners of the country (and the world!).
