Plan office days with your team
There is no universal attendance schedule in this example.
Coordinate proposed office days with your manager and team, then check the approved arrangements for your location and role before travelling. This fictional Northstar example does not set a required number of office days or make a promise about which days colleagues will be onsite.
If your role or location is not covered by the applicable guidance, ask your manager which instructions apply. Frontline employees should not infer that office-based arrangements apply to their role.
Before you travel
Use these practical checks; follow local instructions where they differ.
Coordinate the purpose and date
Agree with your manager or team which work would benefit from meeting in person and which date is suitable.
- Confirm the date with the people you need to work with.
- Check whether your location has approved access or operating instructions for that day.
Check the office and desk details
Review the relevant location information and desk availability before setting out.
- Use Bookings to check whether a desk is available for your chosen office and date.
- Read the details shown for the location and selected desk.
Use the applicable local guidance
Office arrangements can vary by location and role; this example does not establish local rules.
- Follow the approved instructions for your location.
- Ask your manager if you cannot determine which guidance applies.
