subject: A Few Pointers To Transform Your New Glasgow Office Into A Reduced-paper And An Eco-conscious Office [print this page] The reasons are endless why a Glasgow office should reduce the amount of paper that they use, for one the blatant environmental benefits, then the amount of money you can save and also because paper is not always the safest way to store private and confidential data.
So if you are considering relocating to an office in Glasgow then here are some top tips to make it a 21st century paperless office, thanks to www.OfficeBroker.com.
1) Firstly, check to see where exactly in Glasgow is the local recycling facility. You need to know where the facility is and which roads to take to get there from the office. You should also look into organising a collection service, because from your office it might be quite a distance to the facility.
2) Next, use emails rather than paper letters. One of the most effective ways to cut back on your office paper consumption is to use office based computer messaging rather than traditional office letters and memos. By doing this you will reduce the outgoings of the office and you will also make employees a lot more efficient as they will not longer have to travel through the office when delivering memos but instead can just click the button to send that email.
3) Journals, marketing materials and even the local daily paper can all be read on the internet, so there is absolutely no need to have a paper copy as well. In fact, this use of paper is one of the most unnecessary and wasteful uses of paper that there is. This is the case as 90 percent of the time papers and magazines just end up in the bin anyway, so it is just as if you are buying paper then throwing your money in the bin. Also if you subscribe to an electronic version of a magazine you will then be able to make use of any article more easily than if you had a hard copy of them.
4) Maybe a white board could replace the need for post-its. Your workers all need somewhere to make the odd note and more often than not this is on a yellow post-it but in a reduced paper office you might want to think about using a whiteboard and using that. A whiteboard is reusable and is a great way to make handy little notes or to jot down reminders. All of this means that by using a whiteboard you will be able to reduce the amount of paper that is used in the office. So if you have just taken serviced offices Glasgow from www.OfficeBroker.com, then you should go to the nearest shop and buy a whiteboard.
5) Finally, paper-free doesn't just mean cutting back on A4 it can mean so much more. It may also mean using an air hand-dryer in the toilet instead of paper towels and by using mugs instead of those paper cups that just get thrown in the bin. There is an endless list of things to do to reduce the consumption of paper, it might just be something simple like making a corner of the office the official place for the waste paper bin.
Recently one of the firms we deal with decided to move to a Glasgow office and they used the change as an opportunity to turn the office into a paper-reduced office. In the end they saved quite a lot of money and their workers became very efficient when using paper.
