As business owners, it is likely that you spend a
significant amount of your life in a workplace environment.
The environment we work in has a huge bearing on our
mood and productivity, but thinking beyond these things, does your workplace
reflect and promote your business brand? A clean, tidy, respected and well
looked after workplace, regardless of size, is likely to be more impressive to
potential customers, employees, suppliers and even investors in promoting a
business that demonstrates a healthy and confident business environment. It is
something you can actually see and appreciate to back up all of the
testimonials and core values you present.
Of course cost will play a part in creating an
environment that encompasses your brand. Taking into account what your business
actually does might inhibit you from placing Picasso or Monet paintings on the
entrance wall. Therefore you have to think creatively and within budget.
Getting employees to de-clutter or tidy the office can save time for everyone,
reduce potential accidents and increase quality of work or production.
According to recent studies, executives wasted up to 6 weeks a year searching
for lost items and clutter which in turn destroys motivation amongst staff
members.
Are you tolerating bits of mouldy sandwich, dusty surfaces,
cobwebs, loose cabling, piles of paper or files? Is it now time for a clean
sweep? For those who need more help though there is always the ‘Institute for
Challenging Disorganisation’ www.challengingdisorganization.org/
