Workspace Standards
Workspace utilization standards are not new to state government. Under this initiative, the Department has taken the opportunity to update existing rules to bring the State of Florida more in line with its public sector counterparts, and implement best practices currently used by the private sector.
The new space allocation standards state "To the extent possible without sacrificing critical public or client services, agencies are directed to obtain an average allocation of space, not to exceed, 180 usable square feet per full-time employee."
In many cases, this goal can be obtained by simply utilizing existing common area space better.
