HOTTEST HOT DESKING SPACES IN SINGAPORE



 

A trend that first emerged in the 1990s, hot desks have since taken on the workspace world by storm. Hot desking isn’t just for workers who enjoy spontaneity and a change of scenery once in a while. They’re affordable, flexible, and efficient—and they can completely change the way you work.


WHAT ARE HOT DESKS?

Rather than sticking with one assigned and permanent work station, members at a coworking space can opt to book a hot desk instead. Book a hot desk for as long as you want: there are daily, weekly, and monthly packages. Seats range from your stereotypical office desk to couches by the window to phone booth seats! Hot desk users have the freedom to sit at whichever seat they prefer—on a first-come, first-served basis—for the day. In some cases, they also unlimited access to all of the available amenities in the office space, such as printing and scanning services, high-speed WiFi, meeting rooms, and pantries. Usually, belongings cannot be kept overnight at hot desks. If items need to be stored, you can request to use storage lockers in the office. Otherwise, you can consider upgrading to a dedicated or “fixed” desk package, which allows you to store your belongings overnight in a secured area.


WHO SHOULD CONSIDER HOT DESKS?

Generally, hot desking is popular among freelancers, solopreneurs, remote workers, consultants, and business travelers because these individuals don’t use heavy file cabinets or desktop computers, and their work doesn’t require them to be at the same desk every day. Thus, they don’t seek out private offices and simply need comfortable access to a workspace during the daytime. Often, these employees will head to overcrowded cafés, restaurants, or bookstores to get their work done. But hot desks are the perfect solution! Located in designated workplaces, hot desks enjoy quiet and conducive atmospheres.

Hot desking is not only suitable for individual entrepreneurs and freelancers, but also small to medium-sized teams. If the structure of your company doesn’t need the entire team to be in the same place, you should consider allowing your employees to spill out into hot desk spaces. Hot desking enables employees greater autonomy, and it significantly cuts down on real estate expenses. In a traditional office, there is always the risk of having too much unused space due to unprecedented changes in headcount Renting out additional hotdesks can help avoid the hefty costs of excess space.

Another advantage of hot desking is that it’s a great way to meet new people. A different seat a day exposes you to a different group of people every day. Working at a hot desk, you’ll potentially build new relationships, find new talent, and learn how other businesses function or what other specialists do. Who knows—the enthusiastic entrepreneur that you sit next to today might become your close collaborator in the future!
