Handling Office Stationery Effectively
If you are really concerned about cutting down the office expenditure but do not want to pinch your employees' pockets, the best suited way would be to handle the resources in the best possible way.
The most important department that costs you quite a bit is the office stationery. Here is where one needs to have a check so as to cut down on the total expenditure figures.
The following tips would help in this regard -
1. Always encourage your employees to reduce the paper work. Some people have the weird habit of printing out the stuff just to check them out. Ask them to do it directly from the computers.
2. Lay strict rules of not taking home the office stuff even if it is not for personal use. By doing so, it is possible to control the misuse of the office stationery.
3. Recycle stuff - Always look in for notepads, pens, files and other stuff that were disposed off even before half of its utility was done. By doing so, you can cut the costs incurred by buying new ones for it.
4. Have a close check on the stationery inventory and always keep track of all the inward and outward movements. This will in turn reduce the unwanted usage of stationery in issues of very less priority.
5. Always order stationery in bulk. This will help out in saving a considerable amount of money as well. On the downside, you might end up spending more than required up-front, yet, it's a saving in long-term.
These steps may seem simple but they definitely yield good results.
