Working In Shared Workspaces

Skills Challenge

Think about the different spaces where you work. How often are you with other people? Whether you are physically with others or virtually with colleagues online, you’re working in a shared workspace. Think about how your actions and behaviour impact your surroundings and cause distractions for others. How do other people’s actions influence your ability to concentrate? A shared workspace requires us to plan ahead and anticipate the potential for distractions. How can we minimise them for ourselves and others? Wherever and whenever we are working in a shared space, we need to show respect for the people around us and the participants in our virtual meetings.
