desk sharing

Rotating workspace allocation

Desk sharing is a workplace arrangement where employees don't have assigned desks but use whatever workstation is available when they come in.

The practice reduces office space costs and accommodates flexible or hybrid schedules: With desk sharing, I never know where I'll sit.

Also called hot desking.
