Hi all, I am working for an automobile company. Can anyone help me by giving suggestions or ideas on how to control the usage of stationery? They keep asking, and the approved bill given by the company is more than expected, leading them to approach the HR department. Please share your valuable insights.

Dear Prasu,

Yes, controlling office expenses is important, which includes expenses on stationery as well. Nevertheless, are you being pressured to reduce the expenses for the entire company or only for your department?

Anyway, you need to find out what the stationery consumption cost per employee per month is. Identify which department consumes more stationery and why the consumption is higher.

Automation as a Means to Reduce Stationery Consumption

Automation is one means of reducing stationery consumption. Therefore, find out which processes are manual and how they can be made paperless. Another method of reducing stationery consumption is to start using cloud-based work. To do this, we should consider using Google products like Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc., or Microsoft products like Office 365.

The Digital Infrastructure in India

India is still far away from creating a digital infrastructure. In the digital world, everything happens paperless. You may recommend to your bosses to digitize as many processes as possible.

Thanks,
