Keep Your Office Clutter-Free as Employees Return to Work

It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way Americans work. With offices shutting down and going remote, employees started working from home, and office spaces started to look like ghost towns. But as more and more companies are starting a return-to-office initiative, there are some questions about exactly how that will work. Perhaps one of the biggest questions is how to handle employees returning to work without your office space becoming a cluttered, disorganized mess. No one really works all that well in a cluttered work environment, so it’s only natural to want to keep things as coordinated as possible.

 

But while you do want to keep your office space free of clutter during a transitional period, it can be pretty overwhelming. What are you supposed to do in a post-COVID world when employees are coming back into the office, and you need to deep clean the space—that was likely abandoned with little or no warning—before they arrive? Or make room for new employees? Or just keep things organized while everyone settles in again? Well, it turns out that one of the most convenient solutions just might be to rent a storage unit.

Less Clutter Means Less Stress

Any time you move or deal with an influx of people all coming into a new space at once, there’s going to be clutter. But there doesn’t have to be as much clutter when employees return to work if you rent out a storage unit. And we can almost guarantee your employees will appreciate it. Why? Because less clutter equals less stress.

 

The more cluttered a workspace is, the more stressed and overwhelmed your employees will be. Having items scattered all over the place can slow down productivity, halt creativity, and make working harder than it should be. So when you get ready to have your employees return to the office, it’s important to have a plan in place so that there won’t be desks, papers, filing cabinets, and chairs all over the place. And setting aside a storage unit to place those extra items in can really help keep things from getting too out of hand.

A Storage Unit can Help Reduce Clutter

It might sound strange to rent out a storage unit while your employees return to work, but it’s actually the best way to reduce clutter around the office. After all, no matter what your business’ situation is, having a clean space to return to can make the transition from working at home to working in an office much easier.

 

Here’s where we come in. At A-Plus Super Storage, not only do we regularly offer discounts on our self-storage units, but we will loan you a trailer for free to help move your office items into the unit and keep them in a dust- and climate-controlled environment while you get things settled at work. One of the best things you can do to reduce clutter at the office is have things moved into a storage unit while employees are bringing all their own personal belongings back into the workspace. That way, things don’t start to pile up and stress everyone out.

 

If you want to deep clean your office space before having everyone come back in, then placing everything in a storage unit can help with that as well. Whatever you decide to do in the changeover from remote to in-office work, a storage unit is a great solution to keep things clutter-free.

 

Having employees come back into the office after such a long time working remotely can be stressful in and of itself. But when you add in the fact that things could get pretty messy pretty quickly, it’s altogether overwhelming. To avoid that and make the transition as seamless as possible, rent out a storage unit with A-Plus Super Storage. We promise it will make things easier, for you and your employees.
