Your 7-point walk-through:
- Location: Near work areas; not a bathroom.
- Privacy: Door/lock or equivalent; shielded from view, free from intrusion.
- Basics: Chair, flat surface, power outlet; clean and usable.
- Availability: Accessible whenever needed (backup option for overlap).
- Signage/booking: Clear indicators to prevent walk-ins; simple access process.
- Manager know-how: No limits on frequency/duration; support variability.
