Desks and Working Working area

The Bradford office now operates a hot desk environment. Each team has a neighborhood assigned to them. Check out the floor plans for their locations. The Bradford office operates a clear desk policy. Colleagues are asked to leave the desk they are using clean and tidy at the end of each day. If you are away from your desk for a long period of time, avoid leaving documents out to ensure we comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations). Cups and litter do not look good when they build up on desks – spillages and other accidents can also cause damage to equipment such as keyboards and laptops. Please ensure rubbish is kept clear from the desk you are working at. Ensure that you are using the correct bins (general and recycle) to dispose of your waste. When you leave your desk or work area, ensure that you lock your screen to comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations).

Pods There are pods on each floor for small informal meetings. These aren’t bookable, you can use them whenever they are free. Please only use them when there is a group of people having a quick get together. Touchdown Desks There are hot desks on all floors for visitors to use. These will have power points only.

Quiet Rooms and Areas These are for informal meetings. There are quiet areas located on each floor. Private ‘quiet rooms’ are located on the second and third floor. These are not bookable and should only be used for short meetings. Please do not use a quiet room all day for meetings or to hot desk.
