Productive Environment Day

 

Ask 100 people the question, “If you had the time, are there papers, files, magazines, media, equipment, or other items in your office you could comfortably get rid of?” In our experience, at least 99 of them would answer “Yes!” 

The purpose of a Productive Environment Day™ is to give your employees the time, the permission and resources to effectively eliminate anything from their office which can be tossed, recycled, shredded or relocated – and to eliminate the necessity of keeping/and or moving anything that is not necessary to the organization. In May of 2010, a mid-west company with 25 employees eliminated 3.5 tons.

Lisa Guzzo, Certified Productive Environment Specialist ™ (CPES), will provide a checklist of the 18 essential ingredients for a successful event, promotional materials to educate employees about the upcoming opportunity and assist them during the event.

On event day, Lisa will the present a 45 minute The Art of Wastebasketry® “Sometimes It Takes An Expert to Take Out the Trash” seminar.  This will incorporate your retention guidelines, as well as, tips and tools for determining what to keep and what can be let go.

 What you gain

  1. Reduce need for space and equipment for storage of unused information; 
  2. Time for employees to implement the records retention policies;
  3. Identification of record management issues which should be addressed for legal reasons;
  4. Creates a collaborative environment so employees are more invested in the organizations success
  5. Increases the ability for employees to find what they need, when they need it;
  6. Reduced moving costs if you are moving
  7. Helps eliminate information hoarders, those who don't share information as a job security strategy;
  8. Identify problem areas in the document flow process;

Research shows that 80% of what we keep we never use. The 80% takes up valuable space and increases the time it takes to find the 20% what we DO use
