NSUK Office Opening Pack v1 (18.09.20)

Return to work guidance
Office access/booking system
The office will be open and operational from:
Monday 21 st September.
As communicated, you are not required to be working from the office full-time.
Home working still remains; however, we are keen to provide you with the option
of using the office should you require it. Capacity in the office will be restricted,
therefore access and usage will be managed by James.
The process for requesting use of the office is as follows:
• Plan ahead as best you can
• Contact James with the days you would like to go into the office – if you are
planning on meeting as a team please specify all persons
• Please provide information as to why you require the office – this will allow us to
prioritise if/when capacity levels are reached
A calendar for office availability will be available on the s:drive for your reference
showing who is in/when. This will be updated by James and will allow you to see
how office capacity is already looking on any given day you might be planning to
come in.
Keeping the office open and operational will require everybody to follow the
guidance and rules outlined in this document and for us all to use our common
sense in terms of maintaining social distancing and hygiene.
Reminder: at this present time you are not bound to use the office. We would
encourage you to use the office for your benefit/the benefit of the projects you are
working on. Whilst we have all coped exceptionally well working from home, as we
are getting busier with new projects, requests to access the office are increasing –
be that for team meetings/catch ups, supporting fieldwork (e.g. watching focus
groups), better internet, a quiet space to think.
