Fortune Magazine reports: “Corporations around the world continue to be adept at wringing productivity out of their workers. Total employment at the Global 500 grew by just 4.9%, to 60.7 million, but revenue per worker grew at almost twice that rate, climbing to $463,212, up from $428,970 in 2010. ‘Higher efficiency is not just a US story,’ says Morningstar economist Bob Johnson. ‘We're seeing it all over the world.’" McGill Murphy, M. (2012, July). Global 500: No Borders, No Boundaries. Fortune Magazine, p163.Today business owners and employees face the challenge of increasing production per individual in order to keep up with the competition. This creates the need to fulfill multiple roles at once and can scatter energy and focus. By streamlining business operations and reducing time spent on inefficient data entry, poor communication, and duplicate processes, resources are freed up to be used for prospecting, marketing, and planning. Getting organized increases productivity and profits, and positions you for growth.
Your work space represents your business and must support your work objectives and general well-being for many hours each day. Dysfunctional workspaces and processes cause stress and yield poor results; therefore maintaining a clean and functional office is not only considerate to your staff and customers, but highly cost effective!

How I'm Organized... Are You? is Unique
Most organizers focus on de-cluttering, rearranging and filing, but we believe there is much more to the job than that. In addition to offering these basic services, we work with you to organize other aspects of your business to create momentum, as listed above. We initially deal with the paperwork on the desk and in the drawers, and then we address the processes that result in incoming paperwork. We assess your daily, weekly and monthly office routines to see where we can eliminate unnecessary steps.What good is finding a place to put the weekly report when the weekly reports aren't helpful? Instead of addressing only the visible items in your office, we understand that those items are the result of a work process. Together we explore your processes and make improvements that eliminate future disorganization.
The difference with I'm Organized... Are You? is that after we have left, your office won’t return to the same disorganized state because you'll have smart working systems in place.
I'm loving my office and I am so much more productive! -Shea K. Small business Owner
