Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Office or Medical Practice
Winter is officially gone and that means that it is spring! Finally, the snow is gone, the trees are budding and the birds are starting to chirp once again. As the earth comes to live again, it’s time to rejuvenate your office or medical practice as well. Spring cleaning is a great way to get rid of clutter and leave everything fresh and new for a great year of productivity and success. Ready to tackle the challenge at your office? Here are a few tips from Datafied to help everything run smoothly:
Look Around & Make a To-Do List
The first you need to do is walk around the office and look over everything. If you see an area the needs to be cleaned or decluttered, write it down. You can also ask your employees if there are any areas that needs to be addressed as well. Then, organize that list from most important to least critical and get to work!
Look at Office Furniture & Equipment
Let’s face it, every office or medical facility has at least one of “those chairs.” You know what we mean, the rickety chair that you pray never needs to be used. Or a desk with a wobbly leg that you’ve been thinking of getting repaired. How about that computer monitor with the slight glitch that you keep thinking you’ll give to an intern if needed? Honestly, when is the last time it’s been used? Throw it away! If you haven’t used it in over a year it is just taking up space and can even be reducing productivity.
Do a “Deep Clean”
Even if you have a regular cleaning staff, spring is a great time to finally do that “deep clean” that gets all the nooks and crannies. That means shampooing the carpets instead of just vacuuming them, or mopping instead of a simple sweep. Get up on a ladder or step-stool and dust the tops of filing cabinets and go through all the crammed drawers instead of just hiding everything in them to make it look nicer on the surface.
Get Rid of Clutter
Clutter is one of the biggest distractors at work. Especially in medical practices and office buildings, clutter piles up and can add stress and decrease efficiency. This year when you are spring cleaning take a serious look at the clutter in your office. That means getting rid of old files and consolidating instead of just ignoring the overstuffed filing cabinets and storage closets.
