UBS tests deskless workspace on staff

The bank is issuing 2,400 employees in Switzerland with rolling cabinets for overnight storage

The early-bird gets the...desk? UBS is testing a new style of deskless office space by issuing 2,400 employees in Switzerland with rolling cabinets - quickly nicknamed "garages" by employees - for overnight storage of their laptop and other office tools.

"The introduction of desk sharing will facilitate and convey a modern working style. Work can be completed in a more flexible manner with alternating project members, without having to reserve a meeting room," UBS said in a statement.
