Need To Increase Productivity, Efficiency And Profitability?

Then Reduce Office Clutter

A large percentage of the workforce that you manage may require no physical labour. That means that most of them are sitting at a desk for hours at a time. With multiple hours a day spent at the same location, it’s not difficult to see why office desks and spaces tend to become our second homes, and why we feel comfortable to let the clutter pile up. According to recent studies your office is not big enough to house both clutter and productivity. Clutter easily gives rise to chaos, and chaos in turn reduces productivity and causes profits to decline. It is not just the piles of paper that need to be filed. It is the odds and ends that get used on occasion, and that remain essential, but need to be stored away for when they are needed. Office supplies and stationary, products and parts, they all have a way of easily becoming a grand pile of disorganisation.
