I suggested buying a scanner ONCE to save records as non-changeable images for record retention, instead of paying an archiving company on an ongoing basis to hold boxes of old docs.
This also improves employee productivity because if there is a question as to what clients have asked for/gotten (whatever your business scenario), the employee no longer has to get up from their desk and go searching through file cabinets to get their answers- it saves time for each employee enabling them to spend their time more lucratively for the company on new business. The answers are right in the computer drive folders. The bosses liked that...On time management, we also all order lunch to be delivered to the office and eat at our desks. (in our company, the company actually gives us an allowance towards lunches; we also order via intranet with a choice of three restaurant menus per day to order from which the company then gets a discount at the restaurants for steady business) The company pays less for our lunch allowance than they pay us per hour, so we eat at our desks on the "free food", giving them a good hour/hour and a half more of our productivity! A few of us have thought it out and realized that it is win-win for our employers, and not necessarily a "perk" of the job, but we don't much mind the convenience it offers us, either!
