No matter what industry you work in, making sure you’ve got
effective organisational systems in place to keep your workplace tidy and your
employees motivated is essential to success. After all, if your warehouse,
school or supermarket is left to function without any kind of organisational
system, it’s likely to fall into disarray.
This is especially true if you work in an office. A busy,
chaotic office isn’t likely to breed productivity, so you’ll need to put
systems in place to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here are our top tips
for keeping your office organised and your employees productive:
Invest in
appropriate storage solutions
No matter how small or large your office may be, it’s
imperative to make sure you invest in the appropriate storage solutions for
your needs. Without storage, your office will soon become overrun with piles of
important documents, boxes of new stationary and employee belongings, and will
soon become far too chaotic to encourage workplace productivity. Making sure
that you have enough cupboards, lockers and storage cabinets for your
employees' needs is essential to creating a tidy and organised workplace.
Move documents
online
In today’s digital age, we can
expect to see more and more business contracts, pay slips and other paper
documentation being transferred online - and for good reason. Limiting your
paper usage is not only a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, but will
also contribute to keeping your office free from clutter and much more
organised. There will also be less chance of losing important documents,
helping your company maintain a positive business reputation.
Implement a labelling system
No matter how many storage solutions and systems you put in
place to keep your office tidy, it will still remain as chaotic as ever if your
employees don’t contribute to its organisation. To make sure everyone is on the
same page, consider implementing a labelling system for all cupboards, lockers
and storage boxes. An effective labelling and identification system will ensure
that all employees are storing documentation and other items in the correct
place, helping the office to run smoothly at all times.
Cover all bases
When it comes to keeping your workplace organised, there’s
more to consider than simply adding a few cupboards to the office. It’s
important to cover all bases by considering ways that mess and clutter are
created and finding the right solution for the issue. For instance, could you
tidy up the outside of your office by installing bike sheds or smoking
shelters? Could you prevent employees from storing their personal belongings
under their desks by investing in lockers? Considering all potential ways to
minimise clutter will help you create an organised and productive office space,
no matter how small or large it may be.
