8 CEO Sarah Travers. "Diversity, flexibility and personal fulfillment are prioritized." Each of Workbar's locations in Greater Boston are unique, reflective of the town or part of the city they are in. The spaces are all intentionally designed for members to work how they want throughout the day, complete with different "neighborhoods" that provide unique work experiences. Feeling Social? Coffee shop junkies will love the Café Neighborhood which is just like the feel of working at your favorite local haunt, but with subtle background music that doesn't overwhelm and ergonomically correct seating to keep you comfortable and focused. The Commons Neighborhood – a member favorite – inspires team collaboration with a variety of seating options (soft seating, booths, standing tables, lower tables – you name it!), and an ambiance that fosters creativity. This Neighborhood is popular among Boston-based teams who live close in the suburbs and capitalize on the opportunity to work together without having to commute all the way into the city. Gotta take that call? Many jobs require you to take calls throughout the day. Don't feel bad… it's encouraged in the Switchboard Neighborhood, which has been designed specifically for people who frequently use the phone. The "bullpen" style setting features sound enhancement and sound masking to keep the noise level down, so pick up the phone and get inspired! Shhh! This is a library. Okay, it's not a library, but the Study Neighborhood is designed to look and feel like one! Thanks to thoughtful and purposeful sound masking, members work without interruptions and distractions throughout the entire day or for portions of the day where peace and focus are paramount. In addition to these unique spaces, Workbar has an abundance of conference rooms, phone rooms and huddle rooms – all the spaces that teams and individuals may need throughout the day to be productive. "Choice is the amenity of the future," Travers explains. "People love being able to reset throughout the day, see different people and, ultimately, get more out of the workday than just work. Our spaces are designed to make those transitions seamless." What about the tech? With frictionless, easy-to-use technology, anyone can get right to work at Workbar. Telepresence rooms with enhanced speakers, multiple screens, eye level cameras and sound masking ensure virtual meetings are optimized and extremely professional. All rooms are soundproof and have screens, whiteboards and anything else you need for your meeting. Workbar also has podcast rooms!
