Office Efficiency Audit

0 Comments

 
​We all know what an energy audit is, but have you ever had an Office Efficiency Audit?  You have all heard the saying “time is money”, are you making sure your time is spent efficiently and effectively?''Whether your business is newly established or long running, at one time or another each office must face the challenges of becoming and staying organized and efficient.  The flow of business can be disrupted when an office is running inefficiently. By making just a few changes, organization can be increased and along with it become more productive. Here are some simple tips on how to keep an organized and efficient office.

Create a defined space. Chaos just seems to flow when there is not real organization or a place where things are supposed to get done. If your office does a lot of copying, create a copy space. Group printers, copiers and the needed supplies together so that staff is not running through the office looking for copy paper or toner.

If your office needs large spaces for layout, have tables and good lighting that allows for items to be laid out and collated quickly and most importantly correctly. If you have staff members that need to work together place their offices or cubicles close together so that valuable time is not wasted while trying to track another person down.

Use whatever technology is available. Technology has been one of the major driving forces in improving the efficiency of business offices. Make sure to take full advantage of any technology that will help you stay organized and get more accomplished.

As the head of your business, it is up to you to set the tone for efficiency, whether you work for yourself at home or in a busy office setting. One of the best ways to do this is to keep deadlines. There are a lot of time management programs available and most email programs even have task lists. Be sure and take advantage of them.

I would be happy to come in and evaluate your office situation and show you some great time management solutions and ideas.  Having an office audit periodically is a great way to ensure you are working effectively and efficiently which means, Time Makes Money.  Give me a call soon so I can help you.

There does not seem to ever be a good time to have a yard sale.  Just the thought of it throws you in a tense mood and you are already ready to throw in the towel.  Here are some ways that I hope will help you make it a little more organized and fun.     

  • Set the date and make sure you hold and plan that date for this purpose.  You should do this a few weeks in advance if possible. Ask your neighbors if they wish to do it as well that same day to create a bigger buzz in your neighborhood.
  • Go around each room in your home or garage/shed and make decisions on what you have always wanted to purge and get rid of. Get your children involved to help pick out items they should also put in the sale.  This is not a one person job and you should utilize the whole family.
  • As you put them in the garage pre-arrange them by categories to make the last process easier for you. Get your family involved in helping with this to make them feel a part of the sale. 
  • Advertise in your local paper and with flyers around the area. Make sure you have bright colorful signs on the day of the sale with arrows in the right direction and the correct address and time on them. 
  • Make sure you start gathering those plastic bags you get at all the stores you shop at, they are great for customers to load their new purchases in.
  • Price all like items with the same color tags (tags usually can be found at the dollar store) Make sure all items such as books etc are in the same area and priced in the same colors. This will make your job easier.  ou can make yourself a master color note card with the color stickers on the left and the price on the right in case any of the price tags fall off the items.
  • Take shifts and make sure your whole family is helping you on that day. Put them in different sections of the garage sale areas to help with the customers and also keep an eye on your belongings.
  • Have plenty of change on hand and keep track of what you started with so you know how much you actually made at the end of the sale.
  • Don’t keep anything after the sale is over. If something is not sold do not put it back in your home, take it straight away to Goodwill, resale store or any store in your area that will take these items.

If this still overwhelms you but you need to do it, give me a call I would be happy to help and make this a totally stress free experience.
