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.
The world of work has been changed forever by Covid. Trust – for so long a barrier to more flexible ways of working – should no longer be an issue when it comes to designing a new, hybrid way of working. Employees will now move more freely between work and home, between meeting rooms and quiet spaces in the office.
As hybrid working becomes the new normal, so a new generation of tools that facilitate this approach will be required. On the technological side, there are of course the video conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Teams, and the collaborative tools such as Google Docs. On the practical, physical side, there is Gustav: the office in a box that will let workers both transport essential documents and set up quickly in any location, making any space their own.
