Hot-Desking and Family Photos

Abstract

‘Hot-desking’ is when an office employee does not have a desk of their own: on arriving at work, the employee has to grab any desk available. Employers, management and consultants call it the ‘nonterritorial office’. This renders impossible what most people working in offices want: making a corner of the workplace feel as if it has some personal significance to them. This is done in rather simple terms, such as placing a photo of your loved ones on the desk, or putting up a comic strip that makes a statement about what you regard to be important in your life or a picture that you think is beautiful and inspires you.
