REcords Management Services
Records Cleanouts
Based on the client’s existing retention guidelines, or a records retention schedule we develop in collaboration with the client, our records specialists bring their expertise to perform file purges. Our specialists can either work in an on-the-ground leadership role, answering staff members’ questions during a cleanout, or they can perform the cleanout themselves, providing minimal disruption to staff members’ work. Typical occasions for such a cleanout may be during an annual records purge, prior to a move, or after we have established a new records management program within an organization. Years of outdated documents and convenience copies can accumulate, occupying vital filing space throughout an office. A records cleanout conducted by knowledgeable records specialists not only helps establish consistent records management policy, but greatly reduces spending on office space and filing equipment associated with file growth. Our team has years of experience following standard records destruction and offsite storage procedures, and will ensure that records cleanouts are performed with records management best practices in mind.
