We are currently looking into introducing flexible working environment in our offices. This will include no dedicated desk rather a more flexible approach and the use of desk tops/ tablets/ laptops depending on the users role. I am fully aware of the DSE requirements and am well versed into carrying out indivdual assesments and the provision of equipement. What I am looking for is has anyone experience of the introduction of flexible working in a office environment and how did they meet the challenges and what were the sucess and concerns.

If any one could share their experiences I would appreciate.

We are a local authority with over 2,000 'flexi-desk' staff. We have our own in-house DSE training and assessment package which teaches users how to set up the desks to suit their indvidual needs and conduct their own assessment at the same time. The assessment part of the package is automatically emailed to the appropriate Line Manager with the results of the assessment and what actions should be considered when dealing with any issues that have arisen.

Our Corporate Safety team and/or Employee Wellbeing Service will also provide additional advice and guidance wherever needed. This works well for us.
