Our business is built on the value of bringing people together in one place so social distancing has been hard on us emotionally, mentally and financially. That said, even though we can’t wait to jump back in with both feet, we won’t do that until we feel that it is safe for our members and our team to do so.

Our community, Gravitate Coworking, has now been adjusting to this new normal for two weeks and I’m pretty excited by how I’ve seen our members and our team adapt in these unprecedented times to embrace change.

It’s the team at your favorite coworking community checking in. Even though you’re not in the office, we’re here for you. We’re all going a bit stir crazy and it’s still week #1 but we are going to get through this together.

In July 2018 I took a position as a remote employee and have 'worked from home' for a little over 18 months. While most of my work has been spent at Gravitate Coworking — I still have a few tips and tricks I thought I'd share about working from home for an extended amount of time.

Like many of you, our team has been following the news all weekend with regards to COVID-19. As you may have heard, Governor Reynolds has announced on Saturday night that the virus has moved into the “community spread” phase here in the Des Moines-area.

Gravitate Coworking prides itself on how we’re able to bring people together but that is at cross-purposes with slowing the spread of the virus by #FlatteningTheCurve.
