We are due to undertake extensive relocation of staff and one of the outcomes will be the introduction of hot desking. This will mainly affect staff who spend a lot of time out of the office but who will return to write up notes and reports. They will be using one of a number of desks rather than having one specifically dedicated to their own use as at present.

The obvious issues (DSE assessments and so on) are well in hand but I would be very interested to hear from anyone who's been through a similar process. Have any "hidden" safety problems arisen from the introduction of hot desking? If they did, how did you deal with them? I'd be very grateful for any help on this.

You could try the RAC, they have been hot desking for quite sometime in their Bristol office with their account managers.

We hotdesked with my former employer, and the main problems encountered were employee moans at losing personal space, persons hogging areas or desks to try and claim space and nuisance noise caused by impromtu meetings in and around desks in the open plan office and noisy telephone conversations.
