Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Tips For Employers Making the Switch to 'Hot Desking'
Caption: Tips For Employers Making the Switch to 'Hot Desking'. CNN reports that 'hot desking,' also called hoteling, dynamic or agile seating, has become a popular trend among employers. "All across the board it's happening. Everyone is doing a version of [hot desking].", Carlos Martinez, Co-managing director and principal at Gensler, via CNN. With hot desking, employees have to reserve a desk or meeting room whenever they plan on working on site. If done poorly, employees can be left feeling untethered and could lead to a less efficient workplace. CNN reports that the goal of hot desking is less about cutting costs and more about repurposing offices to adapt to how people work now. "We think of it as a liquid workplace a boundaryless workplace.", "Flexibility is very important to people. They get it. They say, 'I'm not in the office 5 days a week.' That's the tradeoff.", Sanjay Rishi, the Americas CEO of Work Dynamics at JLL, via CNN. CNN reports that clear communication about the switch to hot desking is key. According to Sanjay Rishi, the Americas CEO of Work Dynamics at JLL, individual teams should still have a designated area within an open plan office. That area, according to Rishi, should include a mix of spaces that allow for both collaborative and individual work. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
