Surgery Hours

Has anyone put in place surgery or open office hours i.e. a specific time when people can drop in to discuss HR issues? It has been suggested by my Group MD and originally was not something I wanted to consider. However, I am inundated with people dropping in for a chat at the minute. 

I therefore wondered if anyone has this and how they found it in practice? 

Thanks for your help.

  • It doesn’t really help you but I used to work in an open(ish) plan office. I had two small flags on my desk. If the red one was upright people knew to leave me alone, but the green one meant OK to chat. It was a system adopted by many others in the office as people saw it as the equivalent of an open/shut door, not easy to do usually. One colleague had managed to get a foot-high set of traffic lights - ooooo, how I coverted that!
