BNET Business Dictionary
Business Definition for: Hot-desking
- a flexible working practice enabling employees to occupy any vacant workspace instead of sitting at a permanent personalized desk. Organizations using a hot-desking system may have a set of standardized workspaces equipped with information and communications technologies, and employees may sit at a different desk each day. Alternatively, the majority of employees may have their own desks, but some employees, such as consultants or part-time workers, may sit at any desk that happens to be free that day. Most conventional offices are only full for a fraction of the time they are open because of sickness, vacations, or teleworking and this results in empty desks and wasted resources. Hot-desking enables expensive office space to be fully utilized and forms part of the concept of the virtual office. Although employees practicing hot-desking may have limited storage space in the form of a filing cabinet or locker, most of their work and information will be stored electronically.
