Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, get our tips on working smarter, getting ahead in your career and investing like a pro with ST's business correspondents and editors.

In this episode, we talk about hot-desking, the changing out of permanent desks for workers to shared furniture and spaces.

One wouldn't guess that workers could get all emotional over desk space, but that is exactly what is happening in some companies that are thinking of removing what is seen as a benefit to some employees.

What is hot-desking? Is it suitable for everybody? How should workers respond when they lose their desks?

ST's senior correspondent Krist Boo hosts Chen Tang, the strategy principal at Unispace, a workplace consultancy. Her other guest is Mr Joseph Khong, assistant director at ACE, the national trade association for startups .
