Beginning with a 40 question survey, we will examine your current practices and where attention is needed. The assessment will also serve as a benchmark for further progress.

Duration: 90-120 minutes

productivity sessions

Productivity sessions are available for any of the following areas. Sessions are available in various lengths and priced accordingly. Packages are available. Productivity session include:

time management

Working with your personal and professional calendar (because they are interrelated), define and implement strategies to better control your use of time. Includes priority setting, planning and scheduling, setting boundaries, preventing procrastination and more.

effective communication

Poor communication methods can waste massive amounts of time for you and those you interact with. Examining email management, meetings, and status reports to ensure the employment of best practices. Be sure you are communicating with the right people, using the right medium for the right amount of time.

space management

Using space planning and design principles we suggest office layouts for maximum comfort and productivity. We can guide your investments in lighting, office furniture and storage while keeping ergonomic principles in mind.

resource management

Implementing sustainable systems to ensure information (whether paper-based or electronic) and supplies can be stored, retrieved and replaced with ease. This could mean tackling desk clutter, storage areas or stuffed filing cabinets. It's not about tidying for the sake of it, but rather about speeding up the process of finding what you're looking for.Time: from 30 minutes (phone) or 3 hours (in person). Discounts for volume purchases.

ergonomics in the office

Working with an improper posture or with repetitive motions can cause chronic pain and discomfort. Let us analyze the way you and your staff accomplish tasks to make sure you’re not unknowingly causing harm. We can recommend changes to your posture, furniture position or equipment to increase comfort in your work space and boost your productivity.

effective telework

Well-documented benefits of telework include improvements in productivity, moral, employee recruitment and retention, with notable reductions in absenteeism, stress levels, employee housing costs, and commute times.

Yet, employees need practical support. The ability to integrate work and personal life is the most important factor in employee decisions to stay with their jobs, yet most companies have no policy or program in place to help.

Ensure remote employee effectiveness through office organizing, time management coaching and the development of communication plans to support sustainable teleworking arrangements. A manager's trust is the key to successful teleworking, and purposeful communication between employees and managers is critical for continued trust.

Workshops inspire and motivate attendees to adopt best practices for time management, communication, office organization and a healthy approach to work. Facilitated discussion can uncover and address important organizational issues.

what clients are saying...

“I estimate I'm three times more effective now than when I was moving haphazardly through the day. I couldn't get it all done before. Now I was getting out of the office on time and feeling I had everything in hand. I was also sleeping better because I'm a worrier and thinking about unfinished work kept me from sleeping."

Lisa Constanzo, formerly of Women of Influence, now at Deloitte.

Read the full story as reported by Wallace Immen in the Report on Business.

"I have a successful, home-based business - as I have grown the business, I have become more and more disorganized! Clare stepped in and helped me create some “systems” that work – I now can find what I need, when I want it. She also took the time to understand the nature of my business so that she could suggest some time-saving techniques that I have implemented with success. Clare even helped me find the best furniture for my office that is in keeping with the style of my home! I highly recommend Clare’s services and I will be using her services again."

Camille Lawson, Toronto

"I was able to get so much more done after my ergonomic assessment. My neck had been really sore from working with my computer and all it took was raising the computer screen to the correct height to fix the problem. Also, having my files and office supplies in the right places means I don't waste time looking for things. My desk is now a great place to work. Thanks Clare."

Jennifer Richards, Etobicoke

"I hired Clare to help me de-clutter and reorganize my home office. I had been in business for 6 years and needed to reorganize my space. She spent time with me to understand what my current business needs were and from there she helped me orchestrate the change over of my filing system so that paper and electronic files harmonized. This has helped me immensely in operating in a clearer work space with easy access to files when I need them. She also reorganized my personal files as well. A consummate professional."

Joanne McLean, Soulzatwork

what the organizing industry is saying...

"We loved the segment you did on The Marilyn Denis Show about packing away the holidays, featuring Canadian Tire's holiday storage items. Thank you so much for integrating our products on the show and highlighting their key features so well. We look forward to working with you again!"

Sandeep Dhaliwal, Public Relations, Canadian Tire

Clare and I worked together on a project for Whirlpool Home Appliances. Clare was professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic through the process, bringing added value to the program time and time again.
