Tips on Reorganising your Filing Cabinets How we can add value to your office space

What do you do with company paperwork? Do you keep everything digitally, or are there some documents that need to be printed and kept close at hand? How you store your paperwork will affect how long you can actually keep it; good storage will protect the integrity of the document and make your life easier of course. If your business makes use of filing cabinets you will probably find that there are times when it is in a state of chaos and nothing seems to be precisely where it needs to be. With a few tips and some advice from the professionals you can face the paperwork and prepare to reorganise your filing cabinet for greater efficiency.

Below are a few tips to consider when starting the re-organising process:

• Have a system in mind – every filing cabinet should have a system. Whether you are filing things according to alphabetical order, according to categories or similar, you will need a definite system to follow.
• Make a list of the contents of each drawer so that you can refer back to it.
• Find a clear space to start working through loose paperwork floating around between the draws of your filing cabinet. Anything that is outdated and no longer relevant, stack it in a pie for shredding or recycling.
• Make sure that all of your files are in a good condition and neatly organised. You might want to go through each file to ensure that what is inside is relevant and useful to your business still. This can be time consuming, but it is certainly worth it.
• Labelling hanging files with the contents of folders is a great way to ensure that you can quickly and easily access information that you need in the filing cabinet.
