As the back-to-school season kicks off, it’s not just students who are gearing up for a fresh start; businesses too are getting ready to tackle the remaining months of the year with renewed energy and focus. At MPS Group, we believe this is the perfect time to refresh your office stationery and create an inspiring, organised, and productive workspace. After all, a well-stocked and well-organised office can significantly enhance efficiency, creativity, and morale.
Here’s how you can refresh your office stationery and ensure your team is set for success in the months ahead.
1. Declutter and Organise: Out with the Old, In with the New
Before diving into purchasing new stationery, take a moment to declutter. The back-to-school season is synonymous with a fresh start, and there’s no better way to create that feeling in your office than by clearing out old and unused items. This can mean sorting through your desk drawers, shredding outdated documents, or clearing out office storage spaces filled with old supplies.
Once you’ve decluttered, it’s time to restock your stationery cupboard with the essentials. Think about the items that are used daily and need replenishing, such as pens, notepads, sticky notes, and highlighters. Consider replacing old, worn-out stationery with fresh, modern alternatives that align with your brand’s personality.
2. Upgrade to Ergonomic and Sustainable Options
The new work environment is all about sustainability and comfort. At MPS Group, we advocate for ergonomic products that enhance productivity while ensuring the well-being of employees. For example, consider upgrading to pens with a comfortable grip, notebooks made from recycled materials, or even digital notepads that reduce paper usage.
Sustainability is more than a trend; it’s a responsibility. Opting for eco-friendly stationery options can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Look for products that are made from recycled materials or are recyclable themselves. Not only does this support the environment, but it also sends a strong message to your employees and clients about your commitment to sustainability.
3. Personalise Your Stationery for Team Cohesion
Nothing boosts team morale like a bit of personalisation. Branded stationery, like notebooks, pens, and planners, can be a great way to foster a sense of belonging and pride among employees. Personalised items are also perfect for welcoming new team members or as part of onboarding kits. This simple touch can enhance team cohesion and make everyday tasks more enjoyable.
MPS Group offers custom stationery solutions that can be tailored to reflect your company’s brand and values. From logo-branded pens to notebooks with motivational quotes, the possibilities are endless.
4. Create an Inspiring and Functional Workspace
Stationery is not just about pens and paper; it’s about creating a workspace that inspires creativity and productivity. Adding items like whiteboards, bulletin boards, or desktop organisers can help keep ideas flowing and tasks on track. Think of your office stationery as an extension of your company’s culture—choose items that are not only functional but also reflect your brand’s spirit and encourage collaboration.
Consider investing in stationery that is visually appealing and practical. colour-coded files, motivational desk calendars, and stylish desk accessories can all contribute to a more inspiring and efficient workspace.
5. Stock Up on the Essentials for a Smooth Operation
Finally, don’t overlook the importance of having a well-stocked office. Running out of essential stationery items like printer ink, paper, or files can disrupt productivity. Regularly audit your supplies and ensure that you have a reliable provider like MPS Group to restock your essentials promptly.
