A shared desk is a type of coworking setup where a professional can use a seat with desk space in an open office layout. A shared desk can also be a type of basic or introductory membership in a co-working or office space. Shared desks are an organizational workspace system in which different people use desks at different times, depending on needs. Usually, the goal is to maximize space efficiency and reduce real estate risk by reducing redundant office space.
Shared desks can be implemented in private offices and in coworking spaces. The flexibility associated with shared desks is often linked to an increase in employee innovation, while the social aspect is cited as a way to promote interdisciplinary collaboration. Work from shared desks, living rooms, phone booths, and more. Book meeting rooms and private offices with credits.
Shared desks are a workspace where different people use desks at different times and on a first-come, first-served basis. It offers all the advantages of working in an office at a lower cost. If you see coffee shops full of young people with their laptops, but private offices struggle to cover themselves, that could be a sign that in your community there is more need for shared desks than for exclusive desks and private offices. Both private offices and coworking spaces offer conference rooms that can be reserved for private meetings or taking sensitive calls; however, workspace solutions such as WeWork also offer soundproofed private telephone booths. As in most office environments, services such as bathrooms and kitchens are included in shared tables and the office administration is responsible for cleaning, supplying and maintaining them.
Shared desks are a cost-effective work solution for consultants, freelancers, and entrepreneurs who want office space without the commitment or rigidity of long-term office leases. Your monthly subscription to WeWork All Access includes the reservation of one coworking space per day, as well as the ability to book meeting rooms by the hour and private offices by the day with credits in locations selected according to your WeWork All Access membership plan.
