If you&#8217;ve got more people than desks, office hoteling is a way to share those desks in a way that&#8217;s more than just non-disruptive. It&#8217;s also a great way to increase connection and collaboration. But to enjoy the benefits of this space utilization strategy \u2014 for both companies and employees \u2014 everyone needs to follow best practices.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Implementing office hoteling concepts requires the right approach. Without a good plan for coordinating desk assignments, your office can quickly descend into chaos. The last thing you want are some desks doubled up while others sit empty, or employees get lost in the shuffle of ever-changing seating arrangements.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\">Centralize desk booking and management<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First, invest in good office hoteling software \u2014 you&#8217;ll need it. Centralizing all aspects of hotel desk booking and management is key to making it work.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How do you know which system to implement?

Remember, you&#8217;re trying to make sure everyone has a place to sit and work when they need it, but you can&#8217;t do that if you must be seated at your own desk in front of your desktop computer to make and track changes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Beyond these features, your hotel desk booking platform should be easy-to-use, cloud-hosted for ultimate accessibility, real-time enabled, and customizable to your facilities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When centralizing hotel desk booking and management, you should also centralize its oversight. Having a facility manager or desk coordinator in charge of managing the hoteling is a good idea. They&#8217;ll serve as a single point of contact and knowledge regarding your hotel desking policies \u2014 whether it&#8217;s workers with questions about their arrangement or executives with queries about utilization trends. Everyone has their part to play in making the program a success, but just like every ship needs a captain, your desk hoteling program needs a leader.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\">Have a booking process in place<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What&#8217;s office hoteling without a booking process? Once you&#8217;ve got the software and the person running the show, it&#8217;s time to develop a booking process to fill the hotel desks.
