hoteling
The act of an internal employee or authorized visitor temporary occupying a seat in the facility, and charging back the appropriate department for the use of this seat. The temporary occupation of the seat can range from half a day to years, and can also cover a list of days determined by a recurring pattern (such as every third Wednesday of each month).
Hoteling is also known as "hot desking."
For example:
-
Rather than assigning employees permanent seats, a site might implement a hoteling policy in which all employees book seats.
-
Outside contractors may wish to temporarily use an office room during the time that they are overseeing a renovation project at the site.
-
Regional sales managers who are visiting the corporate headquarters for a one-week meeting, may wish to occupy offices during their stay. The use of these offices can be charged back to the corresponding departments.
-
Telecommuters may not have a permanent seat assignment but book a seat for when they are in the office.
