Work Areas

As many employees work in an open plan area, it is important that your workstation and or desk remains clean and tidy and free of boxes, papers and magazines. Our expectation is that your workstation will be cleared and tidied at the end of every day. Any items that require storage should be put away, hard copy paper files should be kept to a minimum, with soft copies of files stored on the relevant shared drive electronically. Laptops should not be left on desks overnight unless you have your own lockable office.

Security

Entry to the {Business Name} premises during and / or outside of normal business hours will be by way of keys/security pass.

It is the responsibility of every {Business Name} employee to ensure that this key/security pass is kept in safe custody. It must be returned on demand.

If building access devices are lost or misplaced, you must notify your Manager immediately so that they can be cancelled.

Employees must ensure that all confidential/sensitive documents are locked away at night. You should make sure that your personal belongings and valuables are locked away and secured. Personal property is not covered by Company insurance.

Kitchen and Bathrooms

Please keep the kitchen and bathroom areas clean at all times, cleaning up after use. You should be mindful that these are public areas and you should be respectful to others by always cleaning up after yourself. If you use dishes, wash them immediately after use.

If there are any issues with these facilities, you should notify your Manager immediately.

Meeting Rooms

If you need to book or use a meeting room, please ensure that you book through the receptionist/office manager/booking system. Please tidy up after meetings, take away your dirty cups, files papers etc. Place chairs back in position and clean all work away.

Printing

Save costs on printing wherever possible by printing on both sides of paper. Please pick up all printed matter off the printer and ensure that the printer is stocked with paper. Colour printing should be kept to a minimum.

Waste Bins

Most individuals will have these under their desk. These bins should be used for any items which are not recyclable e.g.; plastics, metal, a pen, food scraps etc. Please use your discretion and be mindful of disposing food scraps in the office. Liquids should not be poured/ placed into bins.
