Work Facilities
Postby Earthy Ochre Man » Fri Mar 06, 2009 11:55 am
Its not bad considering I am the only one who will be using it (only 4 of us work here) and I also have a company car which I dont actually need to use during the day.
Today is my first commute; its only a 20 minute ride each way which is only 5 minutes longer than it would have taken me to drive. What a great way to start the day!
Question - What facilites do you all have available at your place of work?

Shower facilities for both men and women.
Lockers for both men and women.
Dry cleaning service for company uniform (free), or ultra cheap service for non-logo'd clothing ($5 for a pair of pants, returned in 2 days).
Mini-espresso machine right next to my office.
My commuting life has some up-sides.

Gym with 3 x mens showers and 3 x womens showers - on the same floor as the money wasting dept... I mean HR (surprise suprise).
Disabled bathroom on each of three floors, each with shower - no disabled employees as far as I know it, so I use the one on my floor to shower and hang up jersy and knicks. I am clearly not on the same floor as HR.
Am very lucky I guess.

I'm a computer programmer and generally my skills are in fair demand, but how do you say "I will only consider job offers from companies with good shower/cycle facilities"?
The company I'm with now have a shower and are fairly relaxed about parking our bikes inside the office. Thought I may have to retire with them as I'm not giving up commuting ever!

Secure parking... more luck than intent.
Moving soon, there'll be showers but prolly no parking, really should talk to Colin about that...

Current client:
1 male toiler and 1 female toilet
amongst more than 40 (maybe 50) staff
no showers, etc
Bike storage is a spot under the stairs, no lockup capability, room for 4 bikes.
We have 6 riders - excess bikes we have to chain outside (I said WHAT?!, it's my baby).

We have,
Parking, there is a 3 level carpark underneath with a guard/boom gate, the bikes are right across from the guard house. It will accommodate around 30 or so bikes.
Facilities,
2xMale showers and toilets down in the basement with air con and a separate mirror setup for ladies on the other side of the basement.
Lockers (for hire) etc.
On my floor I have 2 male toilets + 1 disabled toilet that is a massive size that we use as a change room to get into our nicks before heading home.
I work in Network & Telco operations, we have a small test lab on site which is great for hanging cycling gear and towels in to dry during the day.

Now we have got to have about the best facilities in the Perth CBD. We have separate mens and womens, three showers in each, iron, hair dryers and filtered water cooler. There is a lockup room that has had a max of 27 bikes anda unicycle. There are also racks for extra security. And an outside clothesline and pegs for that stinky gear.
But the real kicker is lockers. For around 300 or so people we have 63 lockers! That's one locker for each five or six staff or seven. Now that is AWESOME! And, being the one who allocates them, I can say they are well used, turning over one or two each week.
(The place also has a comprehensive wellness program. I think I may even miss going to work when I retire in a coupla years. Nah, just kidding!)

I could say many naughty things about that...When I first started at my place of work there was a shower in the ground floor men's dunny. I and one other bloke were the only regular pedalists. On the door there was a cardboard sign hung on a nail that was occasionally turned over to say "WOMAN INSIDE" - it was never clear if this was a warning or an invitation.
