Corporate Services

“Executives waste an average of 5½ work weeks per year searching for lost documents”
– Barbara Hemphill



Our corporate services will help your department or team to develop skills that will enhance productivity and effectiveness. Together, we will develop and implement “best practices” to ensure that your team is moving forward in the same direction.


Annual "Slimming Day"

An annual event recommended for any organization! During this highly focused day, ringers are turned off, calendars are cleared of meetings, and staff show up wearing casual clothes and prepared to work hard! The primary goal of the day is to REDUCE!

A Slimming Day could include a 30 minute mini-session with each team member, two short group presentations and a team lunch. Upon completion, a report of recommendations will be submitted.

“Slimming Day” themes include:

  • Office Organizing – purge and clean all areas! Desktop, desk drawers and cupboards. All surfaces and electronics will be cleaned and sanitized.
  • Filing & Paper Flow – quickly process inbox items using the File-Act-Toss method. Set up action and reference files using basic filing techniques.
  • Computer Clean-Up – purge computer files, move and rename folders, customize computer desktop.
  • MS Outlook – fully customize Outlook and use it as one complete system to manage time, activities, communications, contacts, e-mail and electronic documents.
Say "no" to disposable. Stock the break room with reusable, donated kitchen supplies.

Centralized Records Management

If you can't find information when you need it, it's virtually useless

The goal of records management is to use the lifecycle of records to keep information flowing through the organization. A reliable records management system will save filing & retrieval time, increase productivity, reduce equipment and storage costs, simplify decision-making and protect vital records.

To begin the project, we will meet with staff to determine their records management needs. Next, we will develop clear records retention guidelines that incorporate existing policies, legal requirements and staff needs. Upon approval, we will work as part of a team to apply the retention guidelines to all records. To complete the project, staff will receive an orientation of the centralized filing system and resource library.

Think before you print! Keep files on computers instead of in filing cabinets.

Centralized Storage Areas

Well organized supplies cabinets and storage areas will make it easier for team members to find items when they need them and make it obvious when inventory levels are low. Working as part of a team, we will purge all unnecessary items, develop a storage plan, and reorganize the space using suitable containers and clear labelling. When the project is complete, we will offer a "tour" so that each team member is familiar with the new system.

Buy paper that is recycled and chlorine-free with a high percentage of post-consumer waste.
