Arrey, in corporate Gurugram, they will tell you one desk for every four employees is a smart "ratio." But I tell you, on Wednesday when the team is forced to come in, it becomes a game of musical chairs with laptops. You find someone doing a sales call sitting on the floor near the potted plant.
My own life says otherwise because I see real work. In my father's small accounts firm in Shimla, he had one massive wooden desk for all eight of us, and we shared it not because of a policy, but because the warmth of the charcoal heater and the shared purpose made us want to sit together.
So your "hot-desking" just creates cold people calculating their arrival time. My truth is, a good ratio is where no one has to fight for a plug point, and you can still hear each other think.
