The Guide to Flexible Work: How Hot Desking Works

Jason Watson

Hot desking, or flex desking, helps self-employed individuals and established businesses boost business productivity and collaboration. It’s become a way of modern working, offering employees flexibility in their everyday lives wherever their work takes them. 

What is hot desking?

Hot desking is a system where customers find an open desk within a shared co-working environment. Whether employees need dual monitors, prefer sitting near work colleagues, or want a desk next to a window – they can pick their desk based on how they feel that day. 

How does hot desking work?

A hot desk system is simple to use. Customers pick a desk, set up their computer, plug it in, and get to work. What’s excellent about hot desking is that it can be used by different people at different times of the day on an ad hoc basis, offering flexibility and convenience.

What does the hot desking office design look like?

The hot desks in these spaces usually have their own power outlets and are in rooms with access to Wi-Fi and central printing services. Located in co-working spaces, employees can take advantage of the extra amenities available, such as kitchens, lounges, gyms, shared meeting rooms, private phone rooms, conference rooms, and personal lockers. 

This office design helps eliminate the waste of under-utilised space and the extra money spent on it. Better community morale plus save money? What could be better? To explore the pros and cons of hot desking further, learn more here.
