A Survey of Lanyard Drop Distributions across 364 Staff in Six Open-Plan Workplaces
A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement surveys 364 staff in six open-plan workplaces and reports the drop of each lanyard card below the collarbone as a distribution, finding that seven cards in the whole sample hang at the length they were issued, and that three of the six sites carry a second, belt-level mode. The University now recuts every issued lanyard to the commonest drop each quarter, with no exemption for stature, role or desk height.
