Using Workspace Reservation To Optimize Your Hybrid Environment

Organizations and employees have embraced that work can happen anywhere, not just at the office, leading to shifts in the idea of what an office is or what it means to work.

Our partners at Zoom recently ran a poll showing that though 55% of remote employees prefer the freedom to work from home, a large majority still want to come into the office to meet clients and participate in group activities. This means that organizations still need to prioritize the workplace with solutions that accommodate this hybrid work environment and promote a culture that thrives from social interaction and in-person productivity.

One way an organization can easily make this accommodation is through Workspace Reservation. It provides pre-booked places in an office for teams and gives recommendations about where to go depending on who will be coming. Some Zoom beta users used it to reserve a parking space in advance too.

Zoom’s Workplace Reservation streamlines the process of hotdesking and hoteling, providing an efficient and flexible hybrid work environment.

For your hybrid team, Workplace Reservation provides:

Flexibility – Enable your employees to choose their reserved space and desired time frame.
On-Demand Booking – Employees can reserve their workspace when arriving ta the office by using a kiosk, a scheduling panel for a Zoom Room, or from the workspace itself.
A familiar user experience – Your employees will use the same Zoom platform they’re already accustomed to.

For your System Admins, Workspace Reservation provides:

A streamlined setup – Admins can easily upload maps of your office and workspace locations directly within the admin portal, resulting in an easy and efficient setup process.
Management of the space – Utilize QR codes for workspaces to make the process even more simple.
Analytics – Workspace Reservation provides valuable data that admin and leadership can use to plan for a more efficient office.

With the Workspace Reservation service use of Zoom, you can book a range of different workspaces including Zoom Rooms, Zoom Phone Appliances, and Work Desks.

Workspace Reservation will be available by the end of the Summer. If your organization is interested in utilizing Zoom to make your office more efficient, please fill out the form below and we’ll be in contact!
