Hot desking

What is hot desking?

Hot desking is a flexible and cost-effective solution to workplace design. It is characterized by a lack of permanent or assigned desks and seating. Instead, employees are free to occupy any available desk for a given time period, equipped with all the necessary components for work. This allows for a dynamic and flexible work environment, where employees can book a workstation based on their needs.

The main objective of hot desking is to maximize space efficiency and reduce unused office space. It also enables employees to work in a variety of different environments, helping to increase productivity and creativity. Additionally, hot desking can also reduce the need for large, permanent office spaces, which can help organizations to reduce costs associated with real estate and office equipment.

Hot desking is therefore a popular choice for startups, freelancers, and other organizations looking to create a more flexible and cost-effective workplace.
