Coworking has its roots in the tech space, many people see the independent c-base in Berlin, Germany as being the ‘origin story’ for the coworking movement. Formed in 1995, c-base saw itself as the hub of the Berlin hacker scene with a purpose to increase knowledge and skills pertaining to computer software, hardware and data networks. This type of setup then became copied and replicated globally, especially in San Francisco where Silicon Valley had become well established and was growing from strength to strength. 

At Basestation we have two fully equipped modern kitchens - this means that if you’re a resident, working at a hot desk, or using one of our meeting rooms you can BYO food in. We have microwaves, a toaster, and panini maker - so there are a number of options when it comes to preparing food and drinks.

That being said - every now and again our residents like to venture out and sample some locally prepared kai (food) from the local cafes, restaurants and eateries. 

Workplace wellbeing can cover a whole raft of issues, from mental health, physical health, a sense of belonging, eating well, and everything in between. 

The definition of “wellbeing is the experience of health, happiness and prosperity.” Good health and wellbeing is one of the United Nations Sustainable Development goals, so it must be important - right?

It’s estimated we spend one third of our life at work - therefore it makes sense that workplace wellbeing should be high up there on the priority list! The World Health Organization (WHO) actively promotes healthy, safe and resilient workplaces for all.
