Remote work seems to be the future of modern workforce. The number of freelance workers grows constantly, as well as the number of companies, who let employees work remotely. Young professionals, but also experienced workers, who have never worked remotely before, might be concerned about the alleged disadvantages, for instance lack of communication with co-workers, social isolation or distractions. Another workplace can be the solution in most cases. The workplace is essential for the well being and productivity, but there is no one perfect place for everyone, because each personality has his own preference.
My design provides a list of workplaces, this list again is connected to different profiles of workers. For instance, if you are a person, who is easily distracted, it would show up a quiet and calm place such as a library.
My audience are freelancer as well as employees with flexible work options. They are people of all ages, backgrounds and careers, but for all is it new to work remotely, and they are not familiar with the wide range of places, where they can work well.
The internet is essential for the target group, and they spend a lot of time online. Therefore, the medium for the design is a website. For reaching a great number of professionals, the website will be advertised on relevant social media sites. For example, LinkedIn, Xing, Meetup or Google+, and in addition, in online business magazines such as Forbes, Inc or The Economist.
Furthermore, the website could collaborate with Foursquare. People would find suitable places to their personalities with a link to Foursquare, and they would provide a map with the suggested places near to their locations.
