Meeting with coworkers for space improvements - any advice?

Hi all,

We’ve been open about 9 months and now that we’re getting close to full, we see more and more of a need for a formal symposium process for our coworkers to give us feedback and brainstorm ways to be a better space!

Any guidance or advice on the best way to go about this?

What we DON’T want is a complaining session that ends with a lot of negativity. What we DO want is a productive conversation that leads to all our coworkers feeling more bonded and involved in the space!

I’d try committees where groups of tenants have input towards specific goals like “space improvement” or “community animation”.

We have a monthly member lunch where we order a bunch of pizza and catch up on what everyone's up to. A part of that is always giving updates on the space, talking about issues that come up and ideas for improvement. It's always been a super positive experience for us, even when people do have legitimate issues they've been unhappy with. Something about free pizza probably helps :slight_smile:
