Did you know? A clean office determines your acumen to excel at your job. Because indeed, it has been shown by studies that it is good that one feels good in one’s environment and can mobilize all one’s resources in order to work effectively.
How To Adapt The Recommendations To Your Company?
At work, as in private life, reasoning diverges.
We, therefore, have rather orderly profiles or others whose actions can sometimes seem surprising. In order to reconcile and allow homogeneity in the workspace’s aesthetics, we thus propose the implementation of actions inherited from the Kaizen method.
# 1 Recommend weekly sorting
Institutionalize this sorting with your collaborators, and gently invite them to perform mechanically at the end of the week the sorting of useless elements (post-it, sheet, coffee cup, various objects obstructing the space on the desk).
#2 Tidy up
It is true that it is nice to have a lot of elements available.
However, do we really need all this in order to perform our daily tasks well? This question is specific to you!
However, here are some tips: invest in a storage jar, a mail rack, a file storage box, a desk box, and why not one of these telephone holders in order to free up the visual space around you?
But still, to determine a unique place for each object, we must adapt the latter to its use and function.
#3 Clean up your space
It goes without saying that once organized, the workstation must be cleaned properly. To do this, start by removing sensitive items such as your trash and tissues.
It is true that not all companies have a professional cleaning service. However, consider using their service, in order to have peace of mind.
#4 Consistency will drive you
After having accomplished the advice given above, set up a form of recurrence in order to standardize your actions and make them, in the long term, become automatic. In some companies, this allows the non-personalization of the workstation.
#5 Appoint a referrer
In order to ensure the application of your 3 steps for obtaining a clean office, make sure to appoint a collaborator appreciated by all, so that he can ensure the task of ensuring that the procedures are properly followed.
As you will have understood, we have recommended the Kaizen method to you in order to meet your need for advice for a clean office by including notions of optimization strategy.
Thus, in order to combine business with pleasure, we have added the notion of optimizing your work environment which will allow you collaborate between employees and the development of methodological skills for each.
We originally developed this Kaizen method in Japan in the factories of a famous automobile company. The ultimate objective was to optimize the tasks carried out in companies: “Its application makes it possible to optimize storage on a workstation and in its environment so that the working conditions are ergonomic and efficient”
“5S project” is more than a method;
the different stages of our process to keep a clean office draw their source from the initials of 5 Japanese words: Seiri (to rid), Seiton (tidy up), Seiso (to clean), Seiketsu (to maintain order) and Shitsuke (to be rigorous).
Do you feel ready to apply the principle of continuous improvement known as the “Kaizen method”? Incorporate small changes every day that will lead to improved productivity in your business.
We can help you with this if you wish!
