Minimize Office Space with Hot Desking

Hot desking is space-sharing for an office environment or conference rooms and meeting rooms. In these scenarios, employees don't have an assigned desk or permanent desk, nor do their team members. Instead, they share desk spaces and devices with their co-workers on revolving shifts.

GoToConnect's hot desking feature for work environments employs users’ desk phones. Hot desking isn't necessary if a user makes and receives calls through GoToConnect on their laptop or mobile device. However, in cases when a physical desk phone is preferable, GoToConnect enables those phones to work independently of specific employees. This includes access to phone-specific features and quick intercom options.

Hot deskers can use a hot desk-enabled phone by dialing *43 and then entering their personal roaming profile username and password. After the phone reboots, the phone is tied to that hot desker. From there, the phone will access that individual's Caller ID to make outbound calls, store voicemails, and receive incoming calls for that personal extension.

Enjoy complete control over using and updating the cloud-based phone system in real-time from any internet-enabled device using the online portal. Use the hosted phone system to route calls, create schedules with custom dial plans, and record custom greetings. The hosted phone systems include unlimited voicemail boxes, auto attendants, and local and long-distance.

Staying connected is critical. Having the ability to store voicemails in the cloud means that your remote team members can access those voicemails from anywhere, using a smartphone or other mobile device, or an outside line. Our voicemail to email feature lets you listen to messages directly from your inbox with a simple click, saving time by eliminating the need for voice prompts. Plus, you’ll enjoy an unlimited number of standard and shared voicemail boxes based on the number of extensions you create.
