In the post-pandemic setting, a hot desking solution has become pivotal to most organizations. This makes it necessary for organizations to understand the hot desking essentials. You know, for easy implementation and to uphold the concept of flexibility that has gained attention over the last year.

The hot desk is not a new concept. It has been around for decades, precisely for 30 years. And the benefits of hot desking have been realized for years.  Borrowed from the concept of “hot bunking,” hot desking practices the trend of not having a designated workspace. It frequently hinges on the idea of sharing desks with co-workers.

Noel Quin, CEO of HSBC, and other senior managers have been asked to relinquish their work desk at its Canary Wharf Head Office. Before you think that this is a ‘fall from grace’ moment, let us confirm that it is not. HSBC has decided to join the latest hot desking trend. The finance giant has decided to reuse the entire executive floor into client meeting rooms and collaboration spaces.
