Work differently to live better

A coworking space is a place of professional life where the relations between the members are not due to belonging to the same company but to the sharing of common values and an atypical space which goes beyond simple professional uses. In a coworking space, we do much more than work: we live!
The WorkHub is a generalist space welcoming both freelancers and employees in remote work as well as small companies that have established their offices in the place. You will be able to meet a microbiologist, a screenwriter or even IT consultants, a communication agency… The WorkHub offers everyone the possibility of having a quality workspace while avoiding travel constraints. commuters.
The WorkHub is also a space for professional meetings. In addition to meeting people from new backgrounds every day, our Expert offers numerous training sessions as well as project support services. Companies can also take advantage of an original and welcoming meeting place.
And because the best ideas are sometimes born where you least expect them, The WorkHub offers many recreational and/or community events, in order to unite energies, stimulate initiatives of all kinds and open up new perspectives. Exhibition openings and oenological tastings are sometimes the starting point for innovative and unexpected partnerships.
In a context where working methods are changing and the issues of social ties and quality of life at work are increasingly central, the coworking solution could be a response to new business issues. Let Mélanie Burnier guide you on the path to coworking.

The course of life

Don’t be afraid to climb mountains

Since her adolescence, Mélanie has been on the move. When she entered HEC Lausanne at the age of 19, she had already stayed in Australia, Germany and the United States for several months. Far from the stereotypes of ambitious salespeople, Mélanie graduated from the famous business school 4 years later with plans full of her head, including a trip to South America to perfect her Spanish (Mélanie is quadrilingual) and a furious desire to work in the contact with people. For Mélanie, the impossible is not part of her vocabulary. An accomplished sportswoman, her parents always encouraged her to climb mountains, literally and figuratively. The latest was the Matterhorn, which she had promised herself to climb for her 40th birthday. Her dreams, she intends to carry them through to the end and does not wait for anyone to come and chew her the job.
Mélanie began her professional career in the Communication department of a large watchmaking company. If the experience is short-lived, the analytical and strategic qualities of our Expert are quickly noticed. She continues in an SME active in market research, in which she will train for 7 years, including a break with a detour to Brazil and guarding a mountain hut. During this period, she specialized in the field of air transport and travel. In 2007, on the strength of this experience, she founded, with 2 partners, m1nd-set, her own market research company, of which she brilliantly provides operational management.
In 2014, our Expert began a shift in her career, through a broad reflection on our lifestyles and how to change them to reconcile our professional ambitions and our personal lives. She puts her skills as an independent project manager at the service of many major cultural events and also carries out several operational audits of professional structures. The desire to work differently led him to implement a project to create coworking spaces in his native French-speaking Switzerland.
This is how The WorkHub was born in Vevey in 2017, an original and colorful coworking space, like our Expert, followed in 2019 by the opening of a second space in Bulle.
