Although we want the Head Post Office to be a vibrant, energetic and creative environment, we ask everyone to be aware that it is also a workplace for teams who often need time for focused work.

Please respect the different styles of space, what they are for, and keep other users in mind – ‘open-plan’ workspace doesn’t necessarily mean ‘you’re welcome to disturb or interrupt me!’.  If someone looks like they are concentrating please respect this essential part of working together.

This could mean that if you need to have a long conversation with a colleague, you may need to move away from the desk where they’re working and use one of the informal meeting spaces, or book a meeting room, so not to disturb those around them.
