Hoteling helps organizations support their mobile employees by giving them the power to
choose a workspace. Hoteling also can slash real estate costs. These five keys can help you
ensure a successful hoteling program.
5 Keys to a Successful Workplace Hoteling Plan 01
1. Get commitment from executive leadership
Start by telling executive leadership the story of hoteling. In short, hoteling helps
support employees with the freedom to choose appropriate workspaces and
resources for what they need on any given day, whether they are working from
inside the office, at a client site or from home. Hoteling also provides scheduling
for conference and other rooms, automatic routing of calls to the desk phone and
access to resources like video projectors.
Hoteling brings numerous benefits. It can help your organization:
Enable your mobile workforce by
providing them choices for where
they need to work on a given day.
Maximize mobile employee
productivity with the ability to
reserve available workspaces and
collaboration resources.
Reduce frustration with a simple
reservation system that lets
employees quickly select a space
and resources.
Eliminate scheduling conflicts
for spaces and resources by
synchronizing scheduling.
Reduce real estate and overhead
costs by cutting the square footage
of your office spaces.
Optimize ROI on space and
resources by sharing them across
more employees.

2. Develop hoteling standards
The workplace management system includes tools to create a customized
yet consistent experience. To capitalize on those capabilities, you need to set
some standards and incorporate them in your hoteling system configuration.
That includes using the same terminology for the various aspects of the
system and the resources it manages. You also need standards or rules for
employees who use the available resources.
