Case Study: Virtual Business and Mobile Workforce

this entry has 0 Comments/ in Before and After of the Week, Business Organizing, Innovatively Organized, Mobile and On-the-Go, Office Organizing, Seattle, Time Management and Productivity / by Innovatively Organized
April 2, 2012
Challenge:
A small business owner with a growing business wanted to implement systems that would allow his newly hired employee to work virtually and be part of the mobile workforce that is so popular today.

Solution:
Since the employee would be working virtually, he would need a way to access his business documents and electronic files.  The Innovatively Organized team set up Dropbox to keep his files synced and accessible from multiple devices, while also allowing for collaboration and sharing.  Our team of productivity consultants also implemented a virtual phone system, which gave the new employee the flexibility to work remotely while still being connected and within contact.

Result:
Our client’s new employee can now work virtually, successfully be part of the new mobile workforce, and remain connected to the business.  The cost of the implemented systems was minimal but added to the company’s productivity immensely.  The new employee can access electronic documents right away, as well as be contacted via the business phone line.

If you would like to have a Productivity Consultant from Innovatively Organized help your small business gain efficiency, please contact us and we’re happy to help!

IO has changed my whole perspective on being organized. You guys rock.Amy T., Blueflame Heating & Air Conditioning
I am able to accomplish more, in less time. When I work in my home office, I’m not distracted by piles of paper all around me. I am able to proudly show off my work space now! Angela Shen
I loved your presentation of Email Organizing 101. The presentation was clear and informative, and you offered wonderful tips to make our busy lives easier. I already implemented some of your recommendations, and have no remaining emails at the end of the day in my inbox. Also, you have a great sense of humor, so like everyone else, I truly enjoyed my time there. Time and money well-spent.Jennifer S., Merrill Lynch
Elizabeth got right down to the critical changes we needed to make to improve our work flow. And we had fun doing it!Sheree C., Paralegal, Office Max
The one-on-one attention I got from Elizabeth helped me identify problem areas and prioritize changes to become more streamlined and organized.  Replacing old habits with new ones is challenging but extremely rewarding! Thanks again, Elizabeth!Eliott P., Event Services Manager
You definitely demonstrated what you do best – being organized! It was very apparent that you’ve gone through training and certification and truly know your business.Jeanette H., BPW
Very illuminating going over my weekly review checklist and realizing that the parts of the work I dread doing are the things I don’t have systems and structure for… I can see already that this is going to be a big help, and wish I’d gotten started sooner! I’m feeling optimistic, and looking forward to solving the problem(s) and getting my time more focused on the patient work I love to do!Dr. Deborah E., ND
Innovatively Organized’s Email Mgmt Webinar was great! My inbox is now down to zero for the first time in a long time. I would highly recommend it to any friends or associates!Dan F., Realtor

Quick Tips

It’s distracting hearing your phone buzz. Block off time to truly focus; shut the door, silence your phone, close your email.
Use cloud services as a convenient way to access all your information while you’re on-the-go, through your laptop or your phone.
To reduce digital clutter, unsubscribe to email newsletters you don’t read.
When someone gives you a business card, make notes on the back to jog your memory later. Notes might include when you met, what you discussed, potential relationship, etc.
Create a set of email policies for your small business so everyone’s on the same page when it comes to writing and sending emails.
Make sure to sync your devices regularly so your information is always accurate and doesn’t contain duplicates.
Schedule a time/date to file and clean your files (weekly or bi-monthly).
When organizing your paper files, avoid labels like “miscellaneous” and “random.”  You’ll encounter difficulties finding them later.
Just because your email comes to your phone, you don’t need to respond immediately. Schedule specific times to check email.
If you work from your car, set it up as a functional office with storage and office supplies like a desk.
