July 30, 2015 - 3 Reasons Why Records Management is a Must-Have
Did you know that paperwork is the single largest overhead expense of any organization? Without proper management and organizational care, these documents can be easily misplaced – ultimately costing your company a fortune. With document recreation costing an average of $180 per file, it’s not uncommon for companies to spend thousands, if not millions, of dollars in document replacement costs.
If saving your company from wasting money isn’t a good enough reason to invest in a record management service, perhaps these following three reasons will help to further influence and solidify your decision.
1. Organized Records Save Time
On average, managers spend close to four weeks each year searching for, waiting for, or recreating lost, misfiled, mislabeled or untracked information. That’s nearly a month’s worth of time that should be spent completing important and necessary job tasks, not rummaging through disordered files and missing documents.
Even common office workers fall victim to mismanaged records; the average office employee frequently spends up to two hours a day looking for missing paperwork. Large organizations, in particular, are reported to lose a document every twelve seconds.
2. Properly Managed Records Provide Company Security
With a properly managed record system, your company can confidently meet any and all statutory and regulatory demands such as archival, audited and blundered activities and more. It can also provide a sense of security in events such as:
- Disasters like fire, flood, etc.
- Litigation support
- Unauthorized or inappropriate access protection
- Agency rights protection
- Much more
