It´s Friday, have a tidy. Experts have revealed that Executives waste up to six weeks a year searching for lost items and that clutter destroys motivation amongst staff.
Research shows that a simple reorganisation of the office, together with more efficient storage can increase productivity by 30%. In a the National Association of Professional Organisers conducted survey, 91% felt they could be more efficient at work if they were better organised.
Interestingly, one of the areas to improve on was separating personal belongings from the work desk. Creating a designated place for personal items like coats, lunch boxes, gym bags etc. cuts down on frustration due to clutter in the workplace.
Often, people hang on to pieces of paper that contain information that can be easily accessed online. Digitize notes, information and articles that you may want to read again so they are easily retrieved electronically rather than sorting through a pile of papers.
How can you better reorganise the workplace?
