Please be mindful of conversations and general noise across the office. In previous times when the office was fully staffed each day, background activity created a comfortable level of sound where individual conversations were less noticeable. With fewer people in the office under our hybrid model, even small conversations can carry further and impact those working nearby.
This is especially important not only in our own desk areas when on the phone or talking with colleagues, but also shared spaces such as tea rooms, breakout areas, and corridors. All staff are expected to keep conversations and noise at a considerate level to maintain a productive and comfortable environment.
Any sensitive or confidential discussions should always be held in private, such as in meeting rooms, to protect privacy and maintain professionalism.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation, as being mindful of how we use our staff areas and shared spaces helps ensure the office remains a respectful, focused, and productive place for all.
