The Working Environment

Open Plan Newsroom - Click to view a larger image

How would you like to work in an open plan office this size? Three photos stitched together to give an idea of the newsroom’s size. Supposedly Europe’s largest open-plan office environment. It’s hard to tell from this picture, but there’s a large circular table in the middle of the room, and the rows of desks radiate out from that in a hub-and-spoke layout.

Assessment Task

Hopefully you all enjoyed the Think, Pair, Share task we took part in today. This was designed to make you all think quickly on various topics in the section of work just finished.

Tomorrow will be your assessment piece in this area and here’s a wee taster. You should know what would happen to an employee if they were to breach work-regulated legislation. Good luck with your revision tonight, and feel free to make a comment if you have read this blog – I’m looking for class participation!
