FlexSA Code of Conduct in the spotlight

The Flexible Space Association’s Code of Conduct is integral to the role of the Association, in promoting the highest standards for the flexible workspace industry.

Last year the Code of Conduct was reviewed in detail, and set out in 10 clear points.

The Code of Conduct applies to all Flexible Space Association members, whether operators of flexible space, or Partner Members providing services to the sector.  It now forms part of our membership certificate, which our members are encouraged to display on their premises.

Delivering high standards of customer service is at the heart of the flexible workspace industry, and many of the points in the Code of Conduct flow from that.  It provides assurance to clients, and also reminds everyone working in the flexbile workspace industry of the high standards the sector seeks to maintain and promote.

New Association members are advised of the Code of Conduct as soon as they express an interest in joining, and each year when their membership is renewed companies are reminded that by continuing to be a member of the Association they continue to be signed up to these tenets.
