Cons of Hot-Desking
1. Incompatible with traditional work environments: A desk-sharing system is best for offices where people work hybrids. But not all companies can use it. Also, people who need to move a lot of information from one computer to another may not like it. And even programmers may not find it helpful.
2. Distraction & Conflict: It can also cause problems at work. People might argue about where to sit and get distracted from their work.
3. Space issues: Not having enough flexible workspaces for the employees who want to come in at the same time.
4. Difficulty in finding Space: sometimes it’s hard for a group to find space together. Companies can solve this by letting the team book a space ahead of time. They can use apps to pick where they want to sit before, they get to work.
5. Health Issues: When people share a workspace, they can also share germs. If someone is sick and uses a desk, then someone else uses it soon after, it can make other people sick too. To stop this, a company might have a very strict cleaning and germ-killing rule.
6. Challenging to accommodate special needs: At work, some employees have different needs for their office space. It can be hard to meet all of these needs. Even if a shared workspace is able to meet these special needs, these employees might not get all the same benefits as others. They might not be able to use things like a printer, bathroom, or kitchen.
