Desk Management

Optimize your office space with the flexible use of desks.

A solution for flexible desk usage

Many people are working from home. Less people at the office, opens up an opportunity for employers to optimize the workplace. To create an efficient and optimized work environment, it’s important to gain knowledge of how the space is used. As a facility manager, you need insights in occupancy rates and peaks. With these understandings, you can let go of the traditional setting where everyone has their own desk. Shared desks offer your employees a desk when needed, and it makes efficient use of the space you have. The more efficient you make use of the space, the lower your costs will be. With a hot desking or desk hoteling concept you create a new optimized environment.

Cost efficiency is not the only advantage. Your employee engagement increases, their productivity grows, and collaboration between teams gets a boost. A different environment each time prevents workers from falling into routines, which stimulates their creativity along the way. PADS4 desk management helps you as head of the facility department oversee all desks in your workplace. Whether you choose a reservation-based concept where employees choose and book their workspace for any day before coming to the office, or you decide on a concept where all desks are free to use when people need it, desk management offers you insights in the usage of your workplace.

Hot Desking

Different from desk hoteling, hot desks are not assigned to an employee. All desks are available for anyone to use, and once employees need a desk to fulfill their tasks, they can simply take a seat behind a free desk. Even though it can be a challenge to find out if someone is in the office today, it also helps your employees to get out of daily routines, increases productivity due to fitting spaces, and improves collaboration between employees.

Hot Desking

Desk Hoteling

The concept of desk hoteling still assigns workspaces to employees, but it’s only temporary. All desks are shared, and when your staff want to visit the office, they have the opportunity to book the space they want to work. If a team has a creative meeting, one specific meeting room can fit their needs, or when someone wants to focus, a cubicle is what they desire. Use of desks here is reservation based, giving you a clear insight in the use.

Reverse Hoteling

There are always workspaces that are reserved for certain people. Your CEO has his own office, and your IT guy has his own area to work surrounded by necessary hardware. Reverse desking helps you optimize the use of those spaces. When they for example go on holiday, or visit an expo, they can allow other employees to book their workspace. It can be a quiet place to focus and just an extra workspace for those who need it.
