hoteling
Reserving office desks
Hoteling is a workplace arrangement where employees don't have assigned desks but reserve workspaces as needed, like booking hotel rooms.
The practice emerged as companies reduced office space and embraced remote work: With hoteling, I book a desk through an app before coming in.
Also called hot-desking, though hoteling typically involves advance reservation while hot-desking is first-come-first-served.
