Streamlining your company to work more like a start-up is the core idea behind hot desking. In a hot desking setup, desks are used by different people at different times, on a first come-first served basis. Hot desking is a very business-savvy seating arrangement. It cuts down on property investment costs by having a single office instead of multiple small ones all over town. There's also environmental benefits – less space being used means less CO2 emissions from running HVAC units.
