Using Personal Electronic/Wireless Devices for Work

Out of courtesy to colleagues, you should ensure that your phone ring tone and any notification sounds (on both your phone and devices) are discreet and appropriate to a business environment. Devices should be turned off or switched to silent mode during meetings, client visits and interviews out of courtesy to those who you are meeting. 

Whilst it can be convenient and helpful, we encourage you to unlink your work phone, emails etc from any other personal tech devices you may have such as watches. We believe in work life balance and constantly having access to work through a personal watch or device doesn’t help promote this. There is also a potential for data security breaches if the device is lost. 

Personal device usage, including sending text messages, taking phone calls and accessing the internet, should be kept to break-times only. If a personal situation arises which needs immediate attention, please inform a director of the nature of the issue and how long you will need to deal with the problem. Please ensure you are in an appropriate location to have the call.

Excessive use of personal device, whilst at work, may be subject to disciplinary action.
