As remote and hybrid work become more common in Montana, co-working spaces like Kiln are emerging to meet the growing demand for flexible, focused work environments, replacing the traditional clock-in, clock-out office culture with a more dynamic atmosphere of laptops and collaboration. Designed to support productivity, Kiln handles many day-to-day logistical needs so members can concentrate fully on their work, according to Member Experience Manager Maxine Martin. More than just a new business in Bozeman, Kiln reflects a broader shift in how work is done across the state, as Montana workers account for 16% of the more than 30,000 hours worked nationwide in remote or hybrid models, according to the U.S. Department of Labor and Statistics.
