Accomplishment Story
When I joined the company, the filing system was a mess. Documents were filed under a client's name or the type
of industry the client company was in. It was really overwhelming, and it could take hours to find critical
documents. It was a real waste of time and money, so I decided to take action.
First, I scheduled a meeting with each of the three department managers, who used the filing system to find out
specifically what their needs were. Based on those discussions as well as my own experience, I outlined a system
I thought would work efficiently. Then I shared my ideas with the managers. They were on board. I was really
excited and challenged, and within three weeks I had reorganized the entire system. I posted a copy of the new
procedures so everyone would know how the system worked.
Now, a year later, it takes us almost no time to find the files and documents that are needed, and the managers
who used to have to wait so long for information are now able to work much more efficiently. The final result is
that we have a more productive and cost-effective area.
Accomplishment Statement
