Why Outsourcing Your Shredding Benefits Your Company

"My company is too small", "it costs too much", "we do it ourselves", "we don't shred", "we have to save files for 7 years". These are statements I frequently hear. The fact is that by outsourcing your shredding needs, you will increase productivity, decrease costs, become compliant, and you will be going 'green' as well when we recycle the paper post shredding.
There is no set 'scheduled service' program. You might require a monthly, a quarterly, a semi-annual or annual pick up, but by creating a consistent and documented shredding/destruction program you maintain a level of integrity that will be seen as pro-active among your peers, clients, and auditors.

Benefits of scheduled shredding service:

1. Once you analyze the cost and maintenance of the shredder on a monthly basis, time spent shredding that could otherwise be utilized handling more productive tasks, as well as employee salaries, you will most likely find that the hours and dollars spent over the course of the month could better be served elsewhere within your company.

2. There is also concern that the proper information is not always being destroyed. What one person would consider confidential, another individual may not. Having consoles placed in your space and having a scheduled service plan, you will eliminate guesswork by your employees.

3. Sometimes information is not destroyed properly because of the unwillingness of an employee to take the extra time to use the office shredder. A simple trip to the console once a day eliminates the employee’s dislike of ‘wasting’ their time at the shredder.

4. The above benefits take into consideration that your company already has a shredding program in place. Should you be considering the implementation of a program for the first time, the benefits are as simple as dollars and cents. The economical shredding program you will initiate in your office will far outweigh any fines or attorney fees accrued due to non-compliance and accusations of identity theft. It can be viewed as an insurance policy to protect yourself and your company.
