Christmas Office Clearout

Now November has arrived, Christmas is just around the corner. In preparation for a new business year, why not take the time to plan a Christmas Office Clearout?

What is a Christmas Office Clearout?

Your Christmas Office Clearout can be small scale or large scale – take a look round your office environment: what would benefit your company?

Decorations: Do you work in an office that puts up Christmas decorations? If so, take them down BEFORE your office closes over the Christmas period. Although decorations look festive and cheerful, they can also be quite depressing to come back to after the excitement of Christmas is over. If you work in an office that doesn’t start back until the New Year, taking the decorations down before the break enables your team to start the new working year with fresh ideas and raring to go, instead of scrabbling around taking down tinsel and trees the moment they come back.  

Clutter: In a busy working environment it is easy to let your desk become a clutter zone. Not only can a cluttered desk create a disorganized working environment, but it also creates the risk of losing documents and files. Check your working environment pre clearout – what areas need to be improved? Does your office need improved storage? Don’t forget to dispose of confidential waste correctly!

Layout: Does your office layout need a revamp? This can be as simple as moving your furniture round! You may find that old and “worn out” furniture needs throwing out and replacing.

Decor: Is your office decor looking a bit “tired”. As business closes over the Christmas period, an empty office is the perfect environment for a bit of office TLC e.g. a fresh coat of paint (or a whole different colour scheme!). 

What better way to start a new year than with a new look office?!
