hotdesking

No assigned workspace

Hotdesking is an office arrangement where workers don't have assigned desks but use whatever workspace is available when they arrive.

The practice reduces real estate costs when employees work remotely part of the week or travel frequently.

Also spelled as two words or hyphenated: The company switched to hot-desking after most staff went hybrid.
