Introduction
Before the pandemic of 2020, flexible work
was already a key workplace strategy for
many organizations. Now that more employ-
ees were forced to work from home, and
proved they could do it well, more companies
are implementing increased flexibility for
when and where employees can work.
The 9-to-5 office life may soon be retired.
According to a recent survey, 75% of employ-
ees would like to work from home at least
one day a week.
And companies have seen the benefits and
capabilities of having their employees work
from home.
Like the amount of money saved for both
employee and employer.
Global Workplace Analytics reports that a
typical company can save $11,000 per year
for every employee that works from home
some of the time. And employees save be-
tween $2,500-4,000 per year by working at
home half the time.
We also know that many employees work
away from the office on a regular basis,
whether for an off-site meeting, work travel,
or a contracting role. That leaves those desk
empty about 60% of the time, on average.
A flexible workplace means offering a way for
employees to work when they want and in
whatever setting they want. And, if managed
properly, employees can actually be more
productive, and a company can save money
by downsizing their office space while still of-
fering the workspaces their employees need.
In this guide, we will dive into what office hoteling is and its benefits, the features to look for
when researching desk booking systems for your company, and the best practices to take when
implementing and managing your office hoteling program.
