Hot desking (sometimes called "non-reservation-based hoteling") is a work office organization system where each space is available for any worker, rather than reserved for a specific worker, so different workers may use the same spot along the day or week.[1] The "desk" in the name refers to a table or other work space being shared by multiple workers on different shifts as opposed to every staff member having their own personal desk. A primary motivation for hot-desking is cost reduction through space savings—up to 30% in some cases.[2][3] Hot desking is especially valuable in cities where real estate prices are high.[4]
