The paperless office

Leave my desk alone. It works

I'm writing this article at my desk. It isn't a tidy desk - there are lots of things on it (books, brochures, files, notepads and newspapers). There are six pens and some documents next to the keyboard and there's a printer under my chair. It isn't a problem, and there are a lot of desks like mine in The Economist's offices.

But in many companies it's very important to have a tidy office. Some companies say that workers can't leave documents or paper on their desk at the end of the day. Employees put all the documents into filing cabinets or drawers. Experts say that a person who works at an untidy desk is not organised and spends about one-and-a-half hours a day looking for things. An organised worker always has a tidy workspace.

But is that true? Research shows that there are two types of worker. The first type is the 'filer'. They receive a document and immediately file it. The second type is the 'piler'. They have piles of paper on their desk. Who do you think can find things quickly? The answer may surprise you.

Workers who file everything have a tidy desk, but they file too much. There are two main problems with this. First, the files and filing cabinets take a lot of space in the office. And second, there are so many files that it takes time to remember where a particular document is.

Now let's look at 'pilers'. They often have an untidy desk, but they aren't always disorganised. Some experts say that a busy desk helps 'pilers' to think about current projects and makes it easy to find documents.

So next time you tidy your desk, stop and think. Perhaps an untidy desk makes it easier to find things!

The office picnic

An office picnic can be a delicious opportunity to have fun with your colleagues

The annual office picnic is a popular social event for many companies in the USA. Employees go to local parks with food and their families each summer. At the moment, company picnics aren't a regular event in Britain. But some British businesses think they could be a good opportunity for employees to socialise in an informal way.

Abel & Cole is a British catering company. The company has a big office picnic every year. Gary Congress organises Abel & Cole's annual picnic. 'Christmas parties are great but they are quite formal; with a picnic it's much more relaxed,’ he says. Employees like picnics because they can arrive and leave when they want to. They relax, eat and play games with family and colleagues.

But are picnics more of a problem to organise than other events? Many people don't like insects, noisy children or bad weather - and these can all happen on a picnic. Food is probably the main health and safety concern because hot weather makes it difficult to keep food cool and edible. Some types of food, such as fish, meat and cheese, are dangerous if they are in the sun too long.

A catering company can deliver food to a picnic. This is useful for companies with a large staff because it helps the food stay fresh. Managers can enjoy the picnic without worrying that half the workers may be ill the next day. Gary Congress recommends picnics as a staff social event. ‘We put photos from the summer picnic all over the office and it brings back great memories.’
