FAQ

How many desks do I need per employee?

It depends on how often people come in. If your team averages 3 office days a week, peak demand is roughly 60% of headcount, so many hybrid teams run a desk ratio around 0.6–0.7 desks per employee plus a safety buffer.

What is a good desk sharing ratio?

Common hybrid ratios range from 1.5:1 to 2:1 employees per desk. The right ratio depends on your attendance pattern and how much buffer you want for busy days.
