Surgery Hours

Kelly Mitchell

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.

  • Thank you all. I am stand alone which is part of the reason I am considering it. I have until recently adopted an open door policy which seemed to work. However, now more and more frequently people just knock and come in. Although it may only take 5 to 10 minutes to discuss if I am working on something strategic it is quite distracting.

    I also only see the same people and I wonder if some people are nervous about contacting me in my office and potentially disrupting me. I wondered if Surgery hours might make it more likely that people will come and see me if they have an issue, rather than put it off.
