Hot desking - ING invents desk sharing in Spain

The global banking and financial service ING serves nearly four million customers across 29 branches in Spain. After the work from home trial during the first COVID-19 pandemic, ING decided that employees can choose between working fully remote, working hybrid or  at the office. Each opportunity is dependent on the work field and the team lead, but in general, the company wants to encourage the employees to design their working day in the way that works best for them. As it tuned out that fewer employees work regularly in the office, ING introduced hot desking. Instead of personal desks, the tables can be shared by multiple people. 

With the deskbird app, desk sharing in Spain can be digitally provided. Before employees come to the office, they can see in the desk management app where their colleagues sit and book their desk next to them.
