Office Hoteling Blunders: 10 Mistakes to Avoid
11
9. Poor sanitation
Even before COVID-19, sanitation was an ongoing challenge
with office hoteling. When you have multiple people using
the same spaces and equipment, hygiene is a greater
concern. If the same person uses a desk every day, you
don't have to worry as much about how f requently each
workstation gets deep cleaned. But employees should
be able to expect their workstations to be sanitary after
someone else has used it.
This becomes more complicated when people only reserve
spaces for part of the day. And it would be extremely difficult
for your maintenance staff to coordinate cleanings in-
between reservations. So there needs to be some aspect of
sanitation that falls to the individual employee.
Sanitation should be a component of your desk policy, but
additionally, maintenance personnel need to take greater
care with shared workstations, treating them similarly to
other shared spaces, rather than letting each employee
decide how thoroughly to clean a space for the next person.
