Get ready for a spring cleaning at your office!

For many years, offices have evolved to open space area where colleagues from all cross-functional teams and levels can glance at your desk area. According to a survey from the staffing firm Adecco, a majority of workers (57%) admit to judging their co-workers on how organised or messy they keep their workspace. The environment around you is tailoring your concentration and productivity. If you have let your furniture, files and folders take the lead on your workspace, it might be time for some spring cleaning!

For almost 60 years, DYMO has been synonymous with organisation, helping workers create a safer, more productive, and more efficient work environment. With a full offering of label makers and labels, DYMO can assist organisations with addressing a broad array of labelling applications. Additionally, DYMO recently launched the MobileLabeler™, a labelmaker connecting to your smartphone via Bluetooth®, using the free DYMO Connect app. This labeller will be of great assistance in doing your 2017 spring cleaning.

1. Organise your workspace
Establishing processes and procedures are essential to the success of any business, but one item that is often overlooked is office organisation. From finding the right files and drawers to helping colleagues book the right meeting room, general organisation and identification provides an efficient way to simplify the everyday working life in and around the office.

Some ways to increase efficiency and help save time include:

• COLOUR CODING

Use different colour folders or labels to differentiate items depending on their usage purpose or what they contain. DYMO® D1 label cassettes are available in a many different colours to bring some order to your files. 

• QUICKER IDENTIFICATION

Label to help name and identify filing trays, archive cases and more. Use larger DYMO LabelWriter™ durable labels to identify long-time items, such as drawers or shelves, or removable paper labels to identify temporary storage items. 

• NOTIFY

Label equipment, signage and instructions to improve people or asset flow, enabling people and assets to move around in buildings within an organised, comfortable and safe way. The perfect labels would be the DYMO D1 Durable labels  which are bright and permanent labels which stick to different surfaces.

2. Identify the facilities properly
Facility maintenance ensures the proper operation and organisation of all aspects of a building to create an optimal, safe and cost-effective environment for occupants. Regardless of how the facility is being used, the structure and equipment that keep its occupants comfortable and safe must be maintained on a daily basis.

Using proper and effective identification can help to: 

• Maintain a clean, well-organised, consistent appearance
• Optimise functionality
• Increase productivity and longevity of assets

With its Bluetooth connectivity, the DYMO MobileLabeler™ will facilitate easy labelling through your smartphone at your desk or any other location. Just download the free DYMO Connect app and get started.

3. Track your assets efficiently
The use of barcodes is a common practice in many industries because of their ability to store and help organise varying amounts and types of data. When linked to a database, barcodes can also help to expedite recall and updates of information for a more efficient workflow. Create barcode labels using the DYMO MobileLabeler™  and help to:

• Reduce human error
• Manage assets
• Increase productivity
• Improve audits
