Having a well-organised workspace, stocked with all the essentials you need to work more efficiently and effectively is a surefire way to set you up for success in 2024.
And for team leaders, a thoughtfully organised workspace is the key to fostering a workplace that is productive, as well as inviting for team members.
Here are our top five tips to boost productivity in 2024:
1. Review and stock-up
The end of the year is the perfect time to review your workplace stationery stores and stock up on all the necessities to ensure you start the next work year with a bang. Reviewing your current stock-on-hand, having a general tidy up and re-stocking also helps to foster a culture of cleanliness and organisation among the team to help promote a sense of order and focus.
2. Organise your desk space
An organised desk space helps to organise your thinking. Invest in a stylish desk organiser, a cable management system and smart storage solutions. Labeling systems for both physical and digital files can steamline information retrieval. And for those one-off labeling jobs, we love the desk-top Dymo LabelWriter 5xl Professional Label Printer. Perfect for warehouse labels, barcodes, ID labels and more. It’s easy to use, produces high-quality labels and is compatible with a wide range of platforms and software.
3. Build a better ‘to-do’ list.
Ensure the office is equipped with the stationery required, including workbooks, pens, sticky notes and highlighters so that team members can prepare written to-do lists. The physical process of writing a list of items to action and crossing each one off as it’s done promotes a sense of achievement and accomplishment. Colour coding tasks with highlighters and sticky notes can also help to focus attention on the activities that are most pressing. We love these Post-it Super Sticky Notes. They come in a cube of 360 sheets and have super sticking power so your message stays front and centre!
4. Re-organise and re-stock the kitchen
To entice the team back into the office, ensure the kitchen space is designed and stocked to feel like an extension of the home environment. Coffee, tea, healthy snacks and drinks are all small additions to the kitchen that can have a big impact. More face-to-face connection and interaction with colleagues is a great motivator for getting team members back in the office. Ensuring the kitchen space is well stocked will help build this sense of community. Nothing brings people together like the ritual of making and sharing a cup of coffee. And who can resist the lure of the richly aromatic, full-bodied Moccona Classic Medium Roast? Not us!
5. Think sustainably
If you haven’t already, make 2024 the year to transition to a more sustainable workspace. Integrate eco-friendly office products such as recycled paper, energy efficient lighting and sustainable office supplies to align with your business’ environmental position. Double down on getting ready for 2024 by having an office tidy-up and packing-up and storing old files in the Mandura 100% Recycled Archive Box.
