Clear desk policy for your company
Many companies and organizations have introduced the “Clear Desk" Policy for their employees. Let us see what are the objectives and benefits of this policy and how can office furniture help these organizations implement and maintain it effectively?
Objectives and benefits:
Objectives of this policy might differ from organization to organization, but we will try to sum them up and relate the most important ones:
1. Dealing with sensitive information
Some employees may deal with secret or sensitive information that should be protected and ensured that it is not seen by people without the authority to do so. A clear desk policy will make employees take care of their documents and store them in a safe place.
2. Saving time and money
According to an IDC report, a typical employee in an organization spends 2.5 hours a day searching for information. Clear desk policy will make employees keep and maintain their documents organized and will make it easier and quicker for them find necessary information.
3. Reducing costs for printing
A clear desk policy will encourage employees to use digital versions of documents, significantly reducing organization’s costs of paper, ink toner, and printer maintenance.
4. Creating a good impression on visitors
A clean and tidy workspace makes your organization look efficient and presentable to anyone who decides to visit.
5. Being compliant with UK’s Data Protection Act
Data Protection Act requires organizations in the UK to ensure that personal information is kept secure.
6. Reducing stress at work
When employees are organized they can spend more time concentrating on work rather than stressing out because they can’t find a report due in the next 10 minutes.
How to implement a clear desk policy?
Office furniture and storage solutions can help you implement a “Clear Desk” policy. An organization can’t implement effectively such a policy if it doesn’t give its employees solutions and resources for maintaining their desks clean.
We will propose organizations some storage solutions (including the ones with locking systems) that will help employees organize their documents efficiently and keep them safe.
These are very popular storage solutions and we strongly advise that each employee has a pedestal under their desk with a locking mechanism.
