Workweek updates: Streamlined desk booking and more flexibility for employees

When you visit your Robin account today, you may notice a few changes to the homepage experience. The changes outlined below are a direct result of customer feedback and feature adoption trends, and we're excited to roll them all out for improved employee and admin experiences:

1. Streamlined desk booking

   • The main button on the workweek view now helps employees book desks more quickly. We consistently see that at least 3 in 4 people come to Robin to book a desk, so this simplifies the process. Robin will even recommend your last desk booked!

   • Once a desk is booked, Robin will count employees as “in” the office, and automatically update their status as “In Office” (see bullet #3 for more details).

2. A choice of Robin homepage

   • Customize the Robin homepage that works best for you: choose either to see who's in this week, or to show your office map.

3. Indication of working location based on *new* status dropdown

   • In this first release, the dropdown options are In Office and Remote.

   • In-office: This is a way for people to indicate an intention to go to the office, without having to book a desk.

   • If an employee books a desk, their status will automatically be updated to In Office.

4. A new home for user settings

   • User settings will all live under an employee's avatar > User Settings.

   • Settings include things like homepage, notification and general schedule preferences.
