There is little worse than hoteling desks. One of the reasons our current facilities is a ghost town is nobody wants to use a hot swapped desk. Sure, we have an aggressive cleaning staff... but nobody wants to reuse a mouse/keyboard right now. There is a distinct lack of private space and storage and most don't want random hands on their space. I doubt we have more than 20 people in a facility that can house thousands right now - all with hot swapped desks. (The few that do show up have offices) We 'optimized' the space in a cattle car open space... and nobody wants it that actually works in that cost effective space. Shocker.
- theresaklaassen 6y agoThanks for that perspective, I know the “ick” factor is at an all-time high right now about shared surfaces, but I’m not sure that will last forever. We’ve seen a variety of models across our client base. For people coming in frequently or with specific desk set ups, hot desking may not be the answer. For those wanting an easy set up 1-2 days a week while they attend in person meetings, it might be. Our software supports both dedicated desk setups and flexible desks for that reason. There is likely not a one-size-fits-all for every organization, role, or individual.
- theresaklaassen 6y agoI’m curious - was your office hotelling pre-pandemic or is this a new model?
