We all know running a business can cost a lot of money. So why make your employer spend money on things that are not necessary. Would you waste your own money on things that really didn’t make sense or on things that you didn’t need? Probably not! By helping your employer save money it can potentially help them save money for raises or for fun activities for employees. The first thing I recommend is to Go Green! Not only will you be helping the environment but you will also be helping your company save money on printing costs and paper. Start by make fewer copies and keeping more electronic copies. One thing that I personally do is encourage my agents in the office to reuse plastic bags as trash bags. This helps with costs for trash bags. A great idea that was used by someone in corporate was that they reused tea tin cans and used them as pen holders. I thought it was a great idea since it would avoid the cost of having to buy pen holders for the agents and it keeps the desks organized. We also open the blinds in the office in order to allow natural day light to come in and avoid having to turn on all the office lights which in return saves on electric bills for the company. I also like to reuse paper and use as scratch paper instead of using notepads unless really necessary. These are just some ways that we are doing to try to save our company money. So what are you doing in your office or call center to help save money? What ideas can you give us?
