Why businesses choose hot desking systems
Hot Desking Solutions are popular with businesses looking to streamline their organisation. Forward thinking companies know that office space gets wasted and are always looking for ways to lower operating costs.
Hot desking solutions have come a long way since the concept was first introduced by the naval practice of hot racking which allowed sailors on different shifts to share the same bunks.
Today’s technology allows even more analysis of workspace usage through systems like GoBright and Embrava. You can analyse reservations, timelines, no-shows and occupancy overviews. These are very important for management to get maximum efficiency out of your workspaces.

How To Get The Most From Implementing A Hot Desking System
Get The Balance
Right
If an employee spends over 80% of their time at their desk then let them keep their dedicated space.
Vary Available
Spaces
Spaces for solitude, Huddle Spaces, Touchdown Spaces and Open Plan Workspaces should all be available.
Create
Neighbourhoods
Another way to make a hot desking solution simpler is to subdivide the workplace into neighbourhoods, or designated clusters of desks for teams.
Provide Places
For Stuff
The biggest objection for implementing hot desking is employees not having places for their “stuff”. Make sure you implement lockers near all workspaces.
Make Finding
Desks Easy
Some company cultures prefer to reserve desks in advance, others like to claim a desk on arrival. Make sure you implement a hot desking system that works for your culture.
Get Full
Buy-In
Like any change management, a transition to a hot desking solution requires getting buy-in as you collaborate on a plan with internal stakeholders
Get Employees
Excited
Get employees excited by focusing on all of the new amenities and benefits that hot desking will bring to their workplace experience.
Take Regular
Feedback
Survey employees regularly to see how they’re responding to the change, and look closely on the data to determine if space planning ratios are working.
