Hot desking, remote workspaces and post-pandemic yoga

If someone likes to work in a predictable environment and values routine in the workplace with people they know, then a new trend gaining popularity among employers may concern them. This is so-called hot desking (also known as hoteling, dynamic seating or agile seating). It requires an employee to reserve a desk or teamwork room whenever he comes to the office. With the changes caused by the pandemic, this strategy is working in many industries as employers try to adapt to the hybrid work model and reduce the financial burden related to property fees.

In the post-pandemic reality and the era of remote work, coworking spaces are becoming increasingly inventive. Thanks to the support of start-ups connecting companies with spaces for rent, it is possible to work, for example, in shopping centres, private residences, hotels or gyms. In the US, in June 2023, the number of paid days worked from home was 1.4 per week (28% of the working week). However, many employees, especially younger ones, do not want to stay at home every day for fear of isolation from the world. Hence the interest of companies in renting unusual workplaces.

American yoga schools are also adapting to the new working conditions. They have permanently adopted a hybrid teaching model during classes in the rooms and virtually. In addition, more people now want to spend time and exercise outdoors. Online yoga courses and mobile applications for its practice have also been created.
