April – Service of the Month
Give Your Business a Spring Cleaning!
This time of year we are all Spring Cleaning our homes and offices, but what about your business? Company leaders can pump new life into the business by transforming the Spring Cleaning routine to the company.
Try one or all of these helpful ideas for adapting the Spring Cleaning routine to your business:
1) Clear Out The Clutter – Think about business activities that no longer add value to your organization. If products or services have outlived market demand, sweep them out! It may be a difficult decision, but clear the clutter and focus your business energy on what will be hot in the coming year.
2) Hire Some Help – If you are committed to a thorough cleaning, you may want to call in expert help to make sure nothing is overlooked. It is not unusual for people to hire housekeepers, tree-trimmers, landscapers and other service providers to enhance spring cleaning. In the business world, the VirtualOffiCenters Staff is your expert help!
3) Dust Off Your Mission Statement – Evaluate whether your mission statement and vision still match your company’s goals given how much the markets have changed recently. Then, rework your statement to match your current mission!
4) Refresh Your Brand – Home designers will suggest repainting rooms to give them new appeal. Maybe your company brand could use a new look! A brand is more than colors, shapes and logos. It represents what you believe in and what you and your company are trying to accomplish. If your company has begun to serve new markets in new ways, it might be time to modernize your company’s brand.
5) Sharpen Your Tools – Lots of folks invade the garage in the spring to inspect the tools they use outdoors, and they usually find tools that need sharpening. Spring may also be a good time for employees to review and sharpen their skills or learn new ones to improve work efficiency to last the rest of the year.
6) Post a “Pardon the Dust” Sign – Anytime you start poking around the organization to improve it, employees will get nervous. If your purpose in auditing the business’s operations is not to trim staff, reassure employees at the beginning of the process that you are on a mission to improve efficiency, not payroll. Then roll up your sleeves!
