Productivity and efficiency are important in any office environment. Unfortunately, disorganization can make it difficult to get work done, which impacts your business growth.
To help you get more organized, consider the following office organization mistakes that many businesses make and how you can fix them.
Not color-coding? Color-coding and labeling help your employees move faster in the office because it's easier to find merchandise and products. When your employees are looking for something, it can take time to read the packaging for information and open boxes to look for certain products. Colored stickers make it easy for your employees to spot what they need. What's more, colored stickers can be applied to merchandise, written on, and removed when necessary.
Not putting the most-used items in the front? Take a look at your office supplies in your business' supply closet. Are the items your employees use the most up toward the front? It's all too easy for your supply closet to get disorganized when items are shoved around to make room for others or to reach for the supplies that are needed. Place supplies like staplers, highlighters, scissors, and paper toward the front of the closet and items that aren't needed as often toward the back. Make sure that items that are needed most are in an easy-to-reach location.
Not having designated areas for your supplies? Even if you have a supply closet, you may not necessarily have a designated spot for each of your supplies. This is a major issue for many reasons. First, your employees will have a difficult time finding what they need. Second, you could run out of important supplies without realizing it. And third, doing inventory can be impossible. That said, make sure that everything has its place in your supply closet and everything is easy to find and reach.
