This past year has seen more and more of us returning to the office more days out of the week… if not full-time. Now that businesses are having more meetings at the office again and having more staff working out of those offices, we may be quickly finding ourselves dealing with storage issues in need of a solution.
Not only do our offices need proper storage practices to maintain a clean and professional work environment, but it’s vitally important to security as well – which can easily be compromised more often as more and more people are coming in and out of the office. So how does one figure out how much storage space is needed for their business?
Holiday storage concerns aren't limited to your home. If your business or office puts up any sort of holiday decorations – whether it's for Halloween, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other seasonal event – a good office storage system is needed to organize and store them afterward.
We are all always looking for ways on how to improve workflow in order to make workplace operations move more smoothly. The most efficient workflows let people perform their jobs easily and quickly without sacrificing the quality of their work.

It seems like data breaches are in the news all the time, mostly large-scale incidents like corporate data going public and individual identity theft. For both individuals and companies, it comes down to taking proper safeguards – especially with hard copies of information that could easily be "rescued" from the garbage.
Converting your documents to a digital format gives you the ability to both secure and work with the data. But what about the hard copies left over at the end of the process?
With New Years just around the corner, many of us may be thinking about potential New Year's Resolutions. And – while getting more exercise or eating better are always high on the list for popular New Year's Resolutions – according to last year’s Forbes Health/OnePoll survey, the most popular goal was to improve mental health.
Also, on the list at number five was improving finances. What if I told you that office organization services can help accomplish both of those goals?

Medical records present unique privacy issues as they contain some of the most vital private data you have. Their proper care up to and including the destruction (and proof thereof), is not only of utmost importance but it is also an issue of legal liability.
When converting your medical records to a digital format these issues should be at the forefront of your considerations.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations are extremely strict since they govern your most personal health care data. Violations of these laws have serious, and often expensive, repercussions making HIPAA compliance a top priority for any business or medical practice that falls under its jurisdiction. This can become a bit of a headache with the variety of media on which that data can now find itself stored, but there are compliant solutions available.
It's that time of year again, and taxes loom. The increasingly complicated array of hoops to jump through complicates this time of year for so many people. As with many things in life, the stress that tax season induces can be alleviated with a modicum of education and organization. Let's review some of the basics.
Before you do anything else, figure out if existing employees need more space. A simple change like offering employees a bit more room to do their jobs can be a benefit in a very competitive hiring environment and promote goodwill among your employees. Since many employees are reticent to return to crowded offices, acknowledging that by giving employees more room to breathe is sure to be a hit – and it helps slow or deter the spread of germs… whether they're from colds, flu, or COVID.
There are many factors in business ownership that we can’t control, and the world economy is one of them. Whenever even a single economist mentions a possible recession, it can be terrifying for business owners.
For many business owners the first reaction is denial. The second is to start cutting costs without thinking about whether those are “good costs” or “bad costs”.
Good costs are things that actively help your business thrive. Bad costs are expenses that you can probably do without. Advertising, for instance, is generally a good cost while paper and ink might be bad costs… but not always.
And denial? Well, that never helps anything.
The decision to take your office paperless can be intimidating. Many people feel like they do better when they have paper everywhere: paper planners, paper to-do lists, paper reports.
But the reality is all that paper is just making you more inefficient, creating more work, and taking up space.

The change of seasons is a great time to clean and reorganize, especially in the fall when we naturally start to focus on the last months of the year and to be indoors. Whether the office you're organizing is one for a traditional business, a home office, or something in between, there's no such thing as being too organized or having too many tips, hacks, and tactics to be organized.
