Why Green Office Wants to Work with YOU

By Uncategorised

The work environment is not the same today as it was a few years back. The need for cost savings and eco-friendly practices is more important now than it has ever been. Green Office has made it our mission to drive transformation in the way people do business and manage their offices. That is why we want to work with YOU!

Green Office explain Why Green Office wants to work with youGreen Office’s Mission

The environment is increasingly a priority among businesses. It is no longer enough to be profitable; companies must also ensure that they do the least possible harm to the environment while also creating great cost savings and boost the efficiency of their offices. With every company that makes the transition to green office operations, the impact on the environment decreases. This is a change that, far from having an adverse effect on the bottom line, actually helps to improve it, by increasing efficiency, lowering overall costs and making business more appealing to a clientele that is ever more discerning about the environmental impacts of the products and services they choose.

Which is the best laptop stand for me?

By Green ABLE

If you are experiencing neck and upper back pain while spending many hours in front of your laptop, you may want to look at purchasing a laptop stand (or notebook riser). Apart from ergonomic benefits, some people find that they can type faster when their keyboards are slightly elevated, increasing productivity.

There are literally hundreds of different laptop stands to choose from. Their prices vary considerably, mainly due to differences in size, design complexity, as well as the types of materials used in manufacturing.

How Digital Transformation for Your Business Lessens the Impact from Recent Events in South Africa

By Digitalisation

How resilient are we as South Africans!  

Green Office realise that digital transformation is critical to business success. Just consider everything that businesses have been faced with within the past 24 months in a South African context.  

First came the Covid-19 pandemic which has thrust all businesses into a hard lockdown that severely impacted our ability to trade, operate, and generate revenue. Then came POPIA, the Protection of Personal Information Act, which has indirectly made managing physical data impossible. Then there was the most recent incident of the civil unrest that predominantly took place in KZN and Gauteng which again left many businesses unable to operate due to staff not being able to go to site. 

At Green Office, we strongly believe that digital transformation will assist in lessening the impact of such events on your business if pursued correctly and that it will give you great returns. 

We have therefore focussed a lot of energy on developing our digital and software solution offering to ensure we are equipped to help our clients and the market implement digital migration tools that will add exponential value.

Finance Department Business Process Optimization

By Digitalisation

All businesses are trying to increase revenue and reduce costs in an increasingly competitive environment. This has resulted in staff feeling increased pressure to deliver products and services faster, better and more cost-efficiently without compromising on quality. Any business growth however comes with increased operational costs. It is therefore critical that a business’s truly wanting to see sustainable growth in profitability, market share, and success, place emphasis and a focused eye on their business processes, efficiencies, and their use of technology. This can play a critical role in a business’s success or failure.  Remaining relevant with technology in today’s age will be a company’s competitive advantage.  

Our Business Process assessments have revealed that many work environments are still fraught with redundant processes that are inefficient and that waste time, resources, and money to fulfill. Most staff never challenge the current processes in their line of business, which can cost the company dearly.  This however can be changed by driving a culture of continuous improvement in the workplace, where staff is encouraged to bring innovative and fresh ideas to the table that will result in improved processes and efficiencies. All Businesses should aim to simplify their daily and monotonous tasks by refining, digitising, and automating processes so that their businesses can remain relevant, competitive, and profitable.
