As hybrid work environments continue to multiply, they've spawned a workplace trend called 'hot-desking' in which employees have communal rather than assigned desks. 'This trend gained momentum alongside the rise of flexible work arrangements and increased focus on space optimization,' said Tawny Lott Rodriguez, director of human resources at private school Rowland Hall in Salt Lake City, in an email.
While hot-desking is often considered a workplace trend that employers love and workers hate, it isn't always bad for employees. According to Rodriguez, employee reception of this trend is mixed. 'Hot-desking can foster collaboration and a sense of community, but it can also disrupt focus, make personalization difficult and lead to feelings of isolation,' she said.
