'Reducing Paper Overload' Seminar
The paperless office is as big a myth as the cashless society. Paper comes into our offices in ever increasing volumes, often on a daily basis, but very little of it ever leaves.
It's estimated that only 20% of the paper in the average office requires action by the person keeping it and only 40% of it needs to be kept for future reference.
That leaves 40% that:
- has no use
- takes up valuable space
- makes it increasingly difficult to find the information that we do need, when we need it.
It's also estimated that 80-90% of information in organisations is still kept on paper.
The consequences of paper overload include reduced productivity, missed deadlines and increased stress.
This 1-hour seminar introduces simple, practical techniques for reducing paper overload and creating a filing system that suits individual needs.
From dealing with paper as it arrives, through to organising the information that needs to stay, delegates learn how to create a paper-management system tailored to their working style that will enable them to access valuable information quickly and reduce the stress that paper overload inevitably causes.
- Dealing with paper as it arrives using the FAT system
- Deciding what to keep
- Setting up Permanent & Temporary Action files
