Most of us have our own desks in our offices. If it's not a table, more or less it's a cubicle. That particular table or cubicle is considered to be your spot for the rest of your stay with that company.
Since it's your spot, you are free to decorate it the way you like. However, what if you have to reserve a work space every day? Believe it or not, that kind of office arrangement exists. It's called hoteling or "beach toweling."
These concepts are not new. These allow employees to work remotely. With these arrangements, workers usually just pack their stuff when they get out and find another spot upon coming back.
This arrangement is best for those who like working elsewhere on any given day.
"I don't see companies moving to hoteling and still expecting everyone to be in five days a week," said Cali Yost, a flexible workplace strategist who runs Work+LifeFit Inc.
Another advantage of these arrangements, according to CNN Money, is its money-saving nature. Why? Simply because companies no longer have to spend too much on expanding their office space.
It is assumed that most workers would love the idea of working somewhere else. As a result, they become more productive.
Another feature that comes with the hoteling or toweling concept is the availability of lockers. Those who need to go to the office more than three times a day can make arrangements for a long-term reservation. In addition, they can keep their stuff inside their lockers.
Any of this arrangement can work given that employees and other members of the company have regular communication and discipline. Therefore, before a company decides to shift from the regular office work to this hoteling or toweling concept, they must be able to train their employees how to communicate regularly and how to get things done outside the four corners of their office building.
