Offer a variety of spaces
Every worker bee is different, so every hive should be unique.
Having a variety of spaces means each employee can find what works for them
for a specific day or project and roll with it. Some employees might want the
closed-door office option while others may want to sit in an open, collaborative
space and have those around them spark their creativity.
Knowing which type of workers you have in your office and offering the right
spaces for them is a KEY best practice when turning to Office Hoteling.

Provide attractive, efficient workspaces
Once you have an array of spaces to offer, make them inviting! Set up each
room to be ergonomically AND aesthetically pleasing.
Add splashes of color throughout the building to boost creativity. Provide comfy
seating, pillows, etc. for the more open, collaborative spaces.
Make sure each workspace is set up for efficiency. That could mean desktop
monitors, whiteboards, office supplies, etc. Give your larger workspaces and
conference rooms fun names! Add nice, relaxing desktop photos to monitors
around the office. Anything that makes the office, the rooms, the spaces more
appealing to work in.

Make cleaning workspaces a breeze
Create a clean desk policy to make sure employees are keeping the workspaces
decluttered and always available for someone else.
Again, this is a major change for many, so it will take some reminding to keep
their personal items with them and not leave anything behind.
Having a list of to-dos, like throw away your trash, wipe down desk area, etc.
and placing them at each workspace can help ensure each space is cleaned up
by the end of the evening.
Keep it easy by having wipes, trash cans, and cleaning supplies right at hand for
your employees.
