Free Address Office Space

Where's My Seat?

Free address. Hoteling. Hot desking. No matter what you call it, the unassigned-seat office has exploded onto the scene over the past few years and is on the rise. Often, due to the increase in the number of employees working from home and the desire for non-traditional settings for different types of work, a company can reduce their overhead by reducing the number of private offices or assigned spaces that they provide within their office walls. This concept is based on data that says as much as 40% of an office's dedicated desk space sits unused on a given day. And with them sitting idle, the question is: is this an efficient use of space? As a result, many offices have adopted the free address mantra where fewer desks serve the same number of employees. This model certainly has both pros and cons.
