SMALL WAYS TO MAKE A

BIGDIFFERENCE IN YOUR BUSINESS NEXT YEAR

If you find yourself sifting through piles of receipts at tax time, approving staff holidays at the last minute or forgetting about important meetings, now is the time to get organised.

Purchase a filing system, think about using online accounting software and create a shareable calendar.

Managing small organisational tasks makes busier periods much easier to tackle.

GET ORGANISED

Have your staff started to look a little worse for wear?

Organising staff incentives for the new year is a great way to refresh your team and get them excited about coming back to

work.

Planning staff rewards at the end of each quarter gives them something to work towards and look forward to.

Think about rewards for the most improved worker, for someone who has never been late and for those who reach their targets

and KPIs.

STAFF INCENTIVES

It’s time to get your name out there!

The new year is the perfect chance to polish up your business and enter industry awards.

This forces you to get organised, tighten any loose screws and adds motivation as well as a healthy dose of competition to your daily routine.

ENTER INDUSTRY AWARDS

If you’ve been walking past the same pile of paper for 52 weeks reminding yourself that you really must put it in the recycling,

now is the time to do it.

Start the year with a clean workplace free of this year’s odd and ends.

Cleaning out the workplace is a therapeutic way to wind down the year and creates a more soothing and calm environment to

work in.

TIME FOR A CLEAN OUT

We all need a change every now and then – mix up the layout, décor and style of your workplace to create a refreshed atmosphere.

If you’re in retail, turn the staffroom into an ‘oasis’ for your staff – aim to provide your team with a relaxing place for them to take a breather.

The office will benefit from switching up the desk layout – add a succulent or two for some greenery and ensure the kitchen is well stocked with tea and coffee.

A NEW LOOK

Doing something outside of your day to day business routine is a great way to mix up the 9-5.

Volunteering and getting involved with charity events will motivate and fulfil you and your employees beyond budgets

and spreadsheets.

Participating in community events such as clean ups and discussions adds depth to your business and is the perfect

way to get your brand name out there.

GET INVOLVED

If you’ve been offering the same products and services for years now, it might be time to change it up a little.

Take a moment to review the year and think about things that could be done differently in the future and processes that could be refined.

Think of new flavour innovations, product line extensions or giving your customers access to free information (such as downloadable resources) as methods of innovating your business offering.

INNOVATE

Collaborating with other businesses and brands will extend your reach in the community and create innovation.

Two heads are always better than one.

Collaborating with others may open your eyes to new ideas and processes that could change the way

you run your business.
