PAPERLESS SOLUTIONS MAKE IT EASY TO EMPLOY REMOTE
WORKERS
In order for businesses to stay competitive,
they need to be able to adapt to unexpected
situations at a moment's notice. Old legacy
systems and too many paper materials in the
office may be inadvertently impeding
organizations' progress and growth with
unnecessary costs and wasted time.
Thanks to technology, employees can
perform their duties no matter where they are,
whether remotely or in the office. If a staff
member has to meet a client somewhere for
an important meeting, smartphones and
tablets allow them to bring resources and
information out of the workplace without
having to lug around a briefcase full of papers.
However, groups first must ensure their data
is digitized with document management
software.
Fully functional remote workers
When companies embrace electronic workflow, it opens up an array of possibilities that
help facilitate expansion. Working remotely is becoming more popular as way to cater to
the individual needs of employees while also empowering them to be just as operational,
if not more, than they are in the office.
When businesses convert their paper documents into digital files, personnel can view
those materials from any devices connected to the Internet. This enables them to not only
work from the comfort of their own homes, but to also reduce the amount of paper they
use in an average week.
It might have been difficult for some company leaders to understand how employees
could successfully work remotely in the past, but when organizations eliminate the
physical content tying them down to their facilities, the possibility becomes much more
practical.

If key documents are available on personnel's smartphones, there aren't many tasks
people can't accomplish out of the office, according to Investment News. Calendars and
appointments can be synchronized across platforms and workers could even interact face-
to-face through video conferencing. All of this could assist employees in balancing their
work and personal lives, while also saving space, cutting costs and trimming waste.
Let employees see the costs firsthand
Staff may not actually understand the price of printing too many materials. When
someone goes to an all-you-can-eat buffet, they aren't normally concerned with how
much they pile onto his or her plate, just the fact that they can. The same idea can be
applied to office printing.
When companies allow employees to work from home, this forces them to print using
their own ink and paper if the cause calls for it. When workers' own resources are on the
line, many will be less inclined to waste them so carelessly, stated Government Computing
News. This can help reinforce paperless behavior and cause it to spread throughout office
culture.
When employees see their own toner levels dwindle with unnecessary prints, it won't be
hard for them to associate the same principles to the business.
It's never enough to simply introduce document imaging and expect savings to
accumulate over less printing. Companies need to enforce paperless policies by making
workers understand the true costs printing can have on the bottom line of a business. Ink,
paper, toner and printers aren't cheap. Anyone who owns one can attest to that. When
organizations permit staff to work remotely, they tackle this problem from multiple
directions.
Not only can remote workers lower the expenses associated with paper usage, but it can
help reinforce the benefits in the minds of personnel. It takes the whole business to really
make the advantages of paperless solutions visible. Company leaders need to make
people think twice about clicking the print button if they want to see the largest impact.
One way to help do this is by making employees hover over their own printers and check
their own ink levels when working remotely.
