What is Office Hoteling, and Why is it Important?

As flexible working arrangements have taken the business world by storm over the last few years, office hoteling has become a valuable way for office administrators to manage their commercial office spaces. The hoteling concept grew from a desire for hybrid and remote teams to come together as needed rather than full-time. It also allows business owners to decrease overhead costs and manage coworking spaces so that they are being used to their fullest extent.
What is Office Hoteling?
In its simplest form, office hoteling is much like staying in an actual hotel. Employees reserve the space they need in an office, whatever best suits their needs, and they work there together for days, weeks, or months, depending on their project. Because hybrid and remote schedules have surged, many office spaces are underutilized or even sit empty. This is costly for those who must maintain the space, so hoteling can greatly benefit those trying to adapt to the new standard.
Why is it Important?
Office hoteling is trending across the hybrid working environment, and for good reason. Collaboration generates creativity and camaraderie among teams, and it’s more difficult for employees to connect when working remotely. The hoteling solution allows both sides to benefit. Office administrators and business owners can make the best use of their space, allowing it to be rented out to different teams as needed so that it doesn’t sit empty, and employees can come together as needed to work on projects and connect as a team. Hoteling is a critical concept for anyone looking to make the best use of their office space or to make sure their employees are coming together for project collaboration as needed.
How to Get Started
If you’re looking for a way to get your own company involved in office hoteling, it’s a good idea to partner with a facilities management company that can cover the necessities, like providing booking software, sanitization services for desks and kiosks, stocking, and re-stocking office supplies, etc. The booking software will allow different groups of employees to schedule the use of a specific space, like a conference room, common area, or specific group of desks, in a way that doesn’t interfere with or double book a space with others. An on-site team can keep up with decluttering, sanitizing, and restocking items as needed. Choosing the right team for this service is essential.
