Filing & Storage Assessment

Cut real estate costs and free-up space by reducing your filing and storage

Few organisations draw up a formal ‘filing and storage’ strategy when they begin operations. It’s something that just happens over the years. But when was the last time you thoroughly reviewed your filing and storage? And is there a more efficient way to achieve the same objectives?

Whether you’re required to keep records by law or have gradually built up significant paper archives, you’ll know that filing and storage costs soon mount up. Expense that could be significantly reduced if you knew to ask the right questions and where to look for new solutions.

Our filing and storage review will save you the cost of unnecessary archives and cabinets without disrupting your business. Based on our long experience and deep, practical knowledge, we could potentially save up to 90% on your filing and storage requirements and strengthen information security, by implementing optimal use of space, better workflows and more consistent, sustainable behaviours.

What does it involve?

Our goal is to reduce the amount of space, furniture and therefore costs devoted to document filing and storage.

Environmentally friendly offices

Protecting our planet by considering the environment is right at the top of many people’s agendas at the moment, and businesses can play their part too. Long gone are the days when being an environmental activist meant hugging trees at proposed development sites. Now, everyone is coming around to realise that we all need to work collectively to save the planet for future generations, with wealthy investors and powerful governments all getting on board.

How to create an office community

We spend a large chunk of our time at work, possibly chatting to our colleagues more than our loved ones. Most people during their careers will experience the good and the bad when it comes to office environments, from deadly silence to raucous banter, or tense and serious to relaxed and happy.

How to create a flexible office space

With more businesses moving away from the traditional 9-5 working day, so too has the need for a conventional office space. Many businesses are looking at ways to enable staff to work in a more flexible way, offering flexible working hours, opportunities to work from home, part time positions and shared job roles. With this new flexible working comes the need to review working space for employees and assess whether the design still works, or if changes need to be made.
