I’m a broken chair, get me out of here!
Every office has its share of invisible rubbish. It’s the clutter that’s been around so long, that it fades into the background. But just because you’ve stopped noticing it doesn’t mean it’s not there, silently taking up valuable space.
What is "Invisible" Office Clutter?
We’re talking about:
• The broken swivel chair that’s been pushed aside for months.
• Boxes of outdated marketing leaflets gathering dust.
• The old microwave that was replaced by a newer model but never quite left.
• The desktop printer sitting idle since your office upgraded to a central printer system.
And then there’s the hidden clutter in storage spaces—cupboards filled with obsolete items like promotional materials, old letterheads, faulty kettles, and broken binders. These items, while easy to ignore, come with a cost.
The Cost of Clutter
Office space is valuable, especially if you’re paying £20 per square foot or more. Allowing unused and broken items to take up space is not just an organisational issue—it’s an unnecessary financial burden. In addition, clutter creates a sense of stagnation, negatively impacting office productivity and employee morale.
