Workplace Organization Mistakes You Should Avoid

Trendy Indoor Office Space

Getting your workplace organized can seem like an impossibly huge task, especially if you have a specific vision for your organization. But let’s be honest, workplace organization isn’t always as glamorous or Pinterest-worthy as you may want it to be. When it comes to being organized, safety and convenience should be priorities above all else, even above an aesthetic look. Here are a few workplace organization mistakes that you should be sure to avoid.

Leaving Hazards Out

First of all, you need to make sure that your workplace is organized in a way that will prevent any hazards from being left out. There are many different kinds of hazards in the workplace that can threaten the safety of your employees, visitors, or clients. For example, if you have a lot of technological equipment that is plugged in throughout your space, make sure that you keep the cords secured, organized, and out of the way. Stray cords can be a big tripping hazard. Additionally, if your cords aren’t organized, there might be a mix-up about which piece of equipment is being unplugged, causing connection problems for your team. Additionally, be careful of storing equipment or materials in hard-to-reach spaces. These can be huge hazards if your employees have a hard time reaching them since items might fall from above and cause injuries.

Holding Excess Inventory

Next, make sure that you’re not holding excess inventory. Understandably, inventory can be hard to obtain, especially during times of supply chain issues. However, having excess inventory in your space can cause problems. Holding excess inventory in the form of unfinished products can take up valuable space. This can make your employees feel cramped when they’re trying to fulfill orders or work on current projects. Having too much inventory can also make it difficult to organize your materials safely. Soon, stacks of inventory might turn into a huge hazard for an employee trying to reach new materials. 

Ignoring Layout Safety

Another organizational mistake that you should avoid is ignoring layout safety when you’re setting up your office or business. You need to make sure that there is sufficient space around your layout so your employees can move to and fro freely and without injury. If electrical equipment is squished in a corner, supplies are cramped, and employees don’t have much personal space, injuries are more likely to occur. Ensure that you have a safe layout by walking through the space with groups of people or while holding materials. 


So, if you’re trying to organize your workplace, remember these common mistakes to avoid. You can have an organized workplace that is effective and helpful while still maintaining workplace safety. Additionally, a well-organized workplace will help your employees to be more productive and effective on the job.
