Is your business ready to embrace the future of work? Let's explore how desk sharing can revolutionize your workspace!
Consider this: on a typical Tuesday, perhaps only 30% of your employees come into the office, and maybe only 25% on a Friday. In such a scenario, what’s the point of maintaining a pre-pandemic system of designated desks? Most of these desks end up unused, leading to a significant waste of office space and financial resources. If, for instance, 40-60% of your 100 pre-assigned, fixed desks are going unused during the week, that’s a clear indicator of inefficiency and unnecessary expense.
Desk Sharing and Hot desking, therefore, makes eminent sense in this context. It's not just a space-saving tactic; it's a strategic move towards a more dynamic, cost-effective, and employee-friendly workplace. The right implementation of desk sharing can transform the way businesses operate, leading to significant gains in efficiency, innovation, and employee well-being.
What is activity based working?
Activity Based Working is a way of designing a workplace in order that it provides physical spaces appropriate for the range of tasks that employees might carry out. Typical examples of ABW spaces are quiet rooms for focused work, bookable meeting rooms, spaces such as breakout areas and café-style booths for more informal collaboration, and so on.
A key principle behind the ABW approach is to acknowledge the effect that space has on how we feel and how well we are able to work - a stark contrast to the more traditional fixed desk way of working.
