Book the perfect desk to do your best work with Desks amenities

One of the top benefits that employees get in the workplace is a better working environment than what they have at home. In fact, in an early 2022 survey, 28% of employees listed a better desk set-up and stronger Wi-Fi access as two of the main things that make them choose the office. What happens if employees can’t be productive or comfortable in the office because they can’t get the setup they need to do their best work? They’ll choose to work from home. Now, with Envoy Desks, you can ensure that every employee can get the perfect desk to do their best work with desk amenities.

Introducing desk amenities

Every employee is unique. That means one desk setup isn’t going to work for everyone. Some employees require specific amenities to do their best work. Some need a dual monitor, some like a standing desk, and some prefer a quiet spot by the window.Now with desk amenities, employees can filter, find, and book their perfect desk with the tools and setup they need for the day—with just a few taps on Envoy’s app.

Your team will feel confident going to the office knowing that they'll be productive and comfortable at their desk. No more wasting time switching desks or gathering all the tools they need when they get into the office.Get started by creating amenities on Envoy’s dashboard. Assign amenities to desks on your map or import all of the information in a CSV file. Learn how to set up desk amenities in minutes here.

Personalize the workplace experience

Letting your employees choose their perfect desk creates a more personalized workplace experience. This is essential to bringing folks back on-site since a vast majority of employees now expect flexibility in where and how they work.Besides standing desks, dual-monitors, ergonomic chairs, or other physical amenities, consider what other features a desk has to offer. You can assign any attributes to a desk for employees to filter for.For example, if some employees have young kids at home, they might want to filter for a desk in a “quiet area”. Or let folks search for a desk with “natural lighting” by the window.Some ideas of amenities you can offer to create more personalized workplace experiences include:‍

• Productivity
