It’s amazing how quickly an office can become cluttered with loose, unfiled documents. They not only look untidy, but with identity theft and corporate espionage rife can be a real security problem.

Use these tips to declutter for a more efficient and more secure workspace.

• Take a look at each document. Do you really need it? If not it should be discarded.
• Digitising and storing on a cloud service (Google Drive etc) is a great way to save space while still having easy access to documents.
• Create a logical filing system for storing and retrieving documents quickly. For tips on creating an easy-to-use filing system, check out this site:

• Don’t let clutter creep back into your workspace. Tidy up at the end of each day, and schedule a regular cleanup, say once a month, to check draws and other storage areas for hidden clutter.
• To ensure documents you discard are totally destroyed, eliminating the possibility of sensitive data falling into the wrong hands, use a professional and experienced document destruction service.
