At one of my workplaces, after I started cycling in to work and encouraging others in the environmental department to do likewise, they realized that it would be advisable for them to add decent parking facilities. The area is somewhat rural, and theft is a minimal concern at most, so a basic rack that can be locked to should be sufficient.
What are some good links to good racks that I can direct them to? And are there any guidelines as to how much parking is needed? It's mostly government, though there is also a school here (which doubles as childcare).

The Cycle Tourists Club have a PDF document (http://www.ctc.org.uk/resources/Campaigns/CYCLEPARKINFO.pdf)with lots of info about types, specifications and positioning of cycle parking.
Other guides may differ in the amount of room between stands but the CTC specs are better than most.
