To be honest its a regulation for any contact centre subject to BS7799 / ISO9001.

That stipulates a clear desk policy.

In my last job it started out i was allowed anythng, i had posters from PVW all over the partitions etc, then it got strict!

I've heard of the being desk lay outs in company's where the keyboards has to be in the correct position, monitor, mouse, drink etc.... thats a bit too far imo.

Only need a tidy desk at the end of the day so it can be cleaned.
No point trying to keep it tidy all day then having to sift through papers to find one thing you need

Clear desk policy here too. Kinda makes sense though as I work in a bank.
