What is the cost-benefit analysis of implementing hot desking in our office space?

Asked a year ago

Hello everyone. I know that hot desking can increase flexibility and collaboration, but is it worth the cost and effort? Has anyone conducted a cost-benefit analysis for hot desking in their office? If so, what were the findings and conclusions? Thanks in advance!

Adopting an open-plan hot desking layout can result in up to a 30% reduction in office operating costs, particularly for workplaces that previously utilized private office spaces or cubicles. 
Additionally, hot desking reduces the amount of space needed by 15% to 25% — this can translate to considerable savings whether one is renting office space or looking to buy office space.
In addition to cost savings, hot desking comes with added benefits such as better collaboration and productivity, dispersed office hierarchy, greater flexibility, and better organization.
