workplace standards
Workplace standards essentially encompass 'rules' regarding staff entitlements to space and equipment, and serves to provide an equitable means of distributing space and facilities. Such standards are established in consultation with the Executive, and are the result of work style and functional requirements. Of greater significance is the possibility of introducing generic space and furniture entitlements, which in turn creates uniformity of workplace design. Design flexibility offers long term cost saving advantages when staff or support spaces require re-arrangement.
