Hybrid seating strategy
How Teams Roll Out Hot Desking Successfully
1

Model Your Ratio First

Use real attendance patterns, not guesswork, to size the desk pool. Too few desks frustrates staff, too many wastes rent.

2

Build Desk Neighborhoods

Group hot desks by team or department so hybrid employees can still sit near their usual collaborators, even without a fixed seat.

3

Let Employees Book and Check In

Staff reserve a desk ahead of time or check in on arrival from a kiosk or app. Vizitor keeps the schedule and occupancy data in sync automatically.
