The first step in tackling a problem is to quantify the size of it. At MTM Workplace Services we can undertake a full filing and storage audit for you; make an assessment of current operating structures and practices; note file media types and their spatial orientation within cabinets or on shelves; consider central versus local storage, archiving, off-site storage, record retrieval and establish ownership of all cabinet contents. We will also record all loose files and papers not stored in cabinets. This information is then synthesised, enabling us to report back on a global, departmental, team or individual level, as required. Our project report will recommend solutions to achieve a reduction in global hardcopy levels.
