Not having a clear desk policy While employees don't "own" assigned workstations, they can treat these spaces differently because they know they're the only ones using the desk, office, or room. If it's messy when they leave, it only affects themselves. Every employee should understand what a shared space should look like when they arrive and when they leave. Same for equipment. What condition does it need to be in? The exact instructions may be unique to each resource, but there should be general guidelines as well. These should include expectations about food and drinks, acceptable behavior, cleanup, and where employees can put personal belongings. To avoid clutter and give employees more flexibility, you may want to have separate storage spaces for people to reserve, allowing them to keep some belongings on campus as they switch between workspaces f rom day-to-day.

Your policy should make caring for the space—and the other people who use it—part of the process.
