OBSTACLES AND RISKS DURING WORKPLACE TRANSFORMATION

The world is continually changing, and so must the way we work.

Whether employees are remote, onsite, or hybrid, innovative organizations are rethinking their office spaces and work processes to create working environments that promote collaboration, improve engagement, increase satisfaction, and reduce turnover.

Planning for and executing these changes, however, isn’t always easy. Obstacles such as file cabinets filled with out-of-date records and other items, storage spaces full of obsolete IT assets, and employee workstations cluttered with a mix of business and personal assets can take up valuable space, create risk, decrease productivity, and lead to an overall undesirable workplace.

Overcome these obstacles and navigate today’s changing workplace requirements with Iron Mountain Clean Start®. Whether you are rethinking or closing office space, navigating M&A activity, need to become more organized, or want to implement standard processes for managing information and data during real estate changes, we’re here to help reduce risk, improve productivity, and enhance sustainability as you work to transform the workplace.

Years of normal operations and employee turnover can leave the workplace cluttered and disorganized.

In addition to negatively impacting productivity, collaboration, and space usage, employees may not be motivated to return to and work from a messy office. A recent study from the Economist indicates that 93% of organizations are ready to clean up legacy information assets; however, executing a cleanup project in-house could consume valuable resources and even lead to the risk of data breach.

Our Clean Start experts can help you maximize your space and reduce clutter through the secure and sustainable consolidation or recycling of:



Paper Records



 

File Cabinets



 

Outdated IT Assets



Employee Workstations



 

Other Information Assets



 

Office Equipment

RELOCATE AN OFFICE SPACE

Moving or restacking an office space can be stressful, and the last thing you need is the risk of exposing your organization to a data breach during project execution.

Unfortunately, confidential information located in filing cabinets, storage closets, and at employee workstations not only creates risk but can also waste valuable space. While some organizations turn to traditional moving or real estate services companies for help, most don’t have the expertise, trained and vetted employees, or secure chain of custody to handle paper records, IT assets, and other sensitive materials.

Iron Mountain Clean Start can help with a complete set of services that you need for a successful move or restack, all under a single vendor and following our unique approach to project planning and execution:



Pack, Move, and Store Records Offsite

As employee work habits evolve, so does the need for physical office space.

A recent CBRE survey found that 87% of corporate real estate leaders are focused on portfolio optimization as a top priority; however, closing an office location is never as simple as turning the lights off and locking the doors. Sensitive information assets located throughout the facility, often commingled with personal employee items and office equipment, can expose your organization to a data breach if not properly handled and managed. While traditional moving companies and real estate service companies can support office closure projects, most don’t have the expertise, trained and vetted employees, or secure chain of custody to correctly handle and manage your organization’s most valuable assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Workplace transformation is the process of creating or improving office spaces to meet the dynamic needs of organizations and a changing workforce. It is a planned activity often led by real estate and facility management professionals in collaboration with leaders throughout the organization, as well as by service providers like Iron Mountain.

Workplace transformation can be driven by changes to your real estate footprint due to organization expansion or consolidation, merger or acquisition activity, relocation, office closure, or redesigns of an existing office space.

Company initiatives, such as a shift to hybrid, remote work, or improving resource optimization, can also require organizations to reevaluate their space. If there is dust on it, figuratively or literally, it may be time for a workplace transformation.

Years of normal operations and employee turnover can leave the workplace cluttered and disorganized. Confidential information and assets located in filing cabinets, storage closets, and at employee workstations not only creates risk but can also waste valuable space.

While traditional moving companies and real estate service companies can support office closure projects, most don’t have the expertise, trained and vetted employees, or secure chain of custody to correctly handle and manage your organization’s most valuable assets as you make changes to your real estate.

As more organizations allow their workforce the flexibility to combine remote and office work, it is important to ensure a seamless transition to this new way of working.

While working virtually, employees will expect easy and quick access to both digital and physical information, in addition to tools that facilitate seamless collaboration.

Wherever or however they work, it is important that organizations stay in tune with employees’ preferences and industry best practices as they transform their workplace.
