Common Courtesy
As a shared workspace, we ask that you respect your fellow members by striving to use the space as a quiet and focused work environment.
Within the primary work area you will keep work conversations on the phone, or with other co-workers to a fair level. Please respect if anyone asks you to be quiet. Lively conversation should be relegated to the kitchen area, meeting area, or balcony. Phone ringers are to be turned down. Grenco is a child free work place.
To ensure the safety and well-being of all our members, we kindly ask that you refrain from coming in if you are feeling unwell or experiencing any symptoms of illness. Your health, and the health of our coworkers, is our top priority.
If you need to reschedule your booking due to illness, please let us know as soon as possible. We're happy to assist you with finding an alternative date that works for you.
Aesthetic
Considerable thought has been put into the look, feel and aesthetic of the grenco co-working space. We therefore ask tenants not to bring furniture, as it affects the consistency of the space. Additionally, we ask members not to place anything including artwork on the walls without express permission. Photos and ornaments on the desk are allowed, but all items must be removed at the end of your booking. Grendesign is a 100% SMOKE FREE area, this applies to inside and outside areas, including the front entrance and driveway.
We ask that you step away from the building and dispose of cigarette butts thoughtfully.
Kitchen
We offer free tea and coffee, and have appliances for you to heat, toast, and reheat your goodies. All other stocked items in the fridge are personal to your fellow workers. Take home any left over food with you, as left overs in the fridge will be thrown out at the end of the day.
Please be mindful to leave the kitchen area and appliances as and where you found them. If you do not know how to use our coffee machine, ask someone before trying. All dirty dishes must be washed, or placed carefully in the dishwasher.
Cleanliness
You are expected to keep your desk areas clean, and empty your own rubbish into the larger bins provided (under sink, or near front entrance) at the end of each day. All dishes that are dishwasher safe should be put in the dishwasher. The stove and other appliances should be cleaned after use. All cleaning products are kept under the sink. Toilet should be treated as your own, please flush and keep the space tidy. Spare toilet paper and air freshener are kept under the sink in the bathrooms. Lights out when not in use.
Electricity, Heating & Cooling
The space will be kept at reasonable temperatures so that we do not overheat, or over-cool the space, as it is a waste of precious energy. No fan heaters or other space heaters are permitted.
Internet & Local Network
No inappropriate use such as illegal torrenting or piracy, or offensive content viewing. Fair use of the network & Internet resources. If you need to download or upload something extremely large please advise management prior to doing so.
Printing
If you require use of the office printer please ask for instructions. If the printer requires any maintenance including but not limited to clearing paper jams and replacing toner. All prints must be paid for in advance. Printing cost are calculated on a per sheet basis. Printing prices are subject to change.
Be Friendly
Co working communities are excellent sources of information, knowledge, leads, and skills, and as you get to know your neighbours, you’ll find ways to help out each other. Just remember, go in with the mindset of helping without the expectation of anything in return.
Trust me, those favours will come back to you at some point, and you’ll make some amazing connections along the way. Please respect each others time, space and boundaries by keeping talking to the communal areas only
Promote with Social Currency
Many co working spaces find their business through word of mouth so if you’ve had a great experience we’d love for you to promote our space to your network.
Don’t be a time bandit
We want you to make the most of your working day, but please respect that the hours of business are 9am – 5.00pm, please don’t assume that because others are still there that you don’t need to leave. Management will begin closing the office at 5.00pm and all tenants are expected to leave by 5.00pm.
