Frequently asked questions

What is hot desking?

Hot desking is a workplace strategy in which desks are used by different people at different times, on an ad hoc basis. This approach maximizes space efficiency for businesses and empowers employees to book their own desks.

What is desk hoteling?

Desk hotelingis when employees book a desk in a workplace in advance for more than a day at a time. These team members don’t have permanently assigned seats but plan to use the same space for a longer period of time than traditional hot desking. Desk booking software is often seen in companies with a hybrid working model.

How do I choose the right desk booking solution for my organization?

In order to choose the right desk booking solution for your company you need to consider your unique set of needs from a digital tool. Be sure to assess the size of your space and the number of employees and consider what features you’ll need to support your staff.

What are the pros and cons of hot desking?

Hot desking enables you to facilitate the fluctuating nature of hybrid work provides you with the opportunity to more effectively use your office space and can boost cross-team collaboration. Another benefit worth considering is the ability to reduce operational costs. Common disadvantages include a lack of personal space for individuals, difficulty booking and cleanliness concerns.

What desk booking features do I need?

You should expect your solution to have a user-friendly interface, the ability to integrate with existing systems, other key tools and adjustable permissions. Things like self service bookings, interactive maps indicating things like co working spaces or ergonomic chairs is part of a strong workspace management plan in a hybrid work model.

How do I implement hot desking at my workplace?

In order to roll out desk booking systems like Robin in your offices you should have clear guidelines around how to book a desk and expectations around etiquette. Once you’ve determined those guidelines, you must communicate them regularly to your teams and get feedback on the processes to ensure continued success.

How can I  use desk booking software to better manage my office spaces?

When using a workplace management platform, you can enable teams to book desks but you can also access a variety of other features. Workplace analytics is one of those solutions. Using data around space utilization allows you to see how your office is being used and, as a result, empowers you to better manage your space and its resources with employee satisfaction in mind.

Also, consider features that address common employee requests. Self-service bookings, interactive maps indicating designated quiet zones and coworking spaces or policies to prevent double bookings are all part of a strong workspace management plan.
