Chief of Business Operations Tammy Baldwin was quoted in “Perkins Coie, Anticipating 'Hybrid' Work, to Scale Back Office Footprint,” an article in The American Lawyer, on exploring a hybrid work environment.

“Single-sized offices started begging the question of how we use our space in general,” said Tammy. “We’re now pushing it even further. The pandemic gave it a lot of energy.”

According to Tammy, that means a mix of office sharing, hoteling and reverse hoteling for many in the firm. When two people both anticipate they’ll be in the office on fixed schedules that don’t overlap, they can share an office and keep their physical items in the same place. Under hoteling, others who wish to come in on a less predictable basis can take a free office when they do appear. And via reverse hoteling, offices that are in regular use by one individual will open up as “surge” or “overflow” space when the office holder is out.
