Summer is supposed to be a season for relaxation and family time, but as a business owner, leaving your business behind while you travel can produce a lot of anxiety. When you work with AdvantEdge, you can take a little snooze in the sun or splash around in the pool or ocean while knowing your business won't miss a beat! At AdvantEdge, our team is truly your team; our Client Services staff will get to know you and the way you operate so that we can help run your business while you are away! Here are some ways we keep things running smoothly at the office while you are on vacation.

Coworking is becoming increasingly popular amongst psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals. AdvantEdge's facilities are fully furnished and serviced; perfect for solo professionals who want the resources of a larger entity, but only need one or two dedicated offices. Our outstanding client services team also makes it easy to meet with guests and patients in a confidential and comfortable environment. 

Since AdvantEdge Workspaces was founded over 30 years ago, we have excelled in supporting DC-area professionals and local businesses with outstanding support services and top-notch office facilities. As a small local business ourselves, we are uniquely positioned to understand the needs of a growing organization and provide the infrastructure needed to thrive. Over the years, we’ve learned a few things about running a successful and sustainable operation.

Finding the right address for your office is vital to making sure that you have the foundations for sustainability and the tools for growth. It is important to find an office facility that will be convenient for you, your colleagues, and your clients. You also want a workspace that fits into your longer-term vision of durability and expansion for your company. Moving your office to a shared workspace could be the step your business needs; providing you with a prestigious Washington, DC address and all of the resources you'll need to thrive without the full cost of a traditional office lease. 

It seems like every other week that we are reading about another corporate hack or data breach in the news. Advances in technology have allowed us to connect and work in new and exciting ways, but they have also revealed the vulnerability of our personal information. If major corporations like these are at risk of being hacked, smaller organizations and individual professionals who don't have the resources to implement complex security systems to protect their data are clearly at risk as well. Now more than ever, it is crucial that we are all mindful of protecting our personal data; here are a few simple security tips that will give you some peace of mind.

Whether a private office, a virtual office, or coworking is the right choice for you and your organization, AdvantEdge's outstanding Client Services Team is ready to back you up and keep your business running smoothly when you go on vacation! Leaving your work behind isn't as easy as it sounds, especially for those in positions of leadership. Even as you dip your toes in the pool or enjoy a beautiful mountain top view, your brain may wander back to the constant anxieties that come with running a business. Joining the AdvantEdge Community will allow you to breath deep and kick those feet up, here's how:

May is Small Business Month, but at AdvantEdge we celebrate and support small businesses each and every day! We know what it takes to keep a small business running on a day-to-day basis and to succeed in the long run; that’s because we are a small business ourselves!

A good leader in the workplace sets a strong example through his or her actions but knowing how to motivate your team is a crucial skill that they probably didn’t teach you in school. Every coworker or employee at your workplace requires their own leadership style and knowing how and when to press those buttons can empower your team and produce incredible results for your organization. It doesn’t have to be complicated; if you consider the personality types of the people you work with, you will understand how to connect with them, and get their best performance!

At AdvantEdge, we remind our community members that their personal health should be a priority and we work to promote healthy workplaces at our office and the home office! The true key to your success is yourself; taking care of your mind and body can be the crucial foundation for fruitful work life. You can implement a post-work yoga routine or even add twenty minutes of exercise and mindfulness to your lunch break. However you fit personal care into your schedule, yoga can bring about many benefits to help us be more productive and efficient in the workplace.
