Bartercard Say The COVID-19 Crisis Provides a Chance for People to Save Real Cash

bartercard 0 Comments

Bartercard was born out of a recession, and given the uncertainty of how long the COVID-19 emergency will go on for, it provides an ideal opportunity for people to save real cash. Bartercard also have some simple tips on keeping busy and active at home, starting with clearing out the clutter and restoring order in your office.

To start with, you should have a home for everything, keeping items you use regularly close at hand on your desk, and use baskets or trays to keep similar things together. Use a filing cabinet, book shelf etc for items you need to have accessible but not right under your hand. For items you don’t use very often, store them out of the way, on high shelves or in cupboards.

Secondly, put things back where they belong. When you have a home for something it’s much easier to put it straight back where it belongs, rather than leaving it on your desk to put away ‘later’ and then watching that pile grow and grow. Also, you should save

your precious office space for those things that serve the purpose they were purchased for, and consider selling surplus items on the Bartercard eMarketplace or Auction.

Thirdly, you need to get your team on your side. No matter how much you want to get, and stay, organised, your team may not share your new vision. Maybe they will need some motivation to take up the new ideas and will need some sort of reward system – find out what encourages them – look through your Bartercard directory for ideas – perhaps a team lunch!

Finally, you need to get tough. A big part of getting and staying organised starts in your own mind, and if you’re only somewhat interested in being organised, chances are your office is only going to be somewhat organised. However, if you’re focused on following these tips and establishing systems that will help you get rid of clutter, then clutter won’t have a chance. It’s up to you, to keep yourself energised when you can’t be working in the office, and for more information on where can I use Bartercard and the Fair Trading Act NZ please go to www.bartercard.co.nz .

Bartercard Have Five Tips to Help Drive Business Growth in 2020

bartercard 0 Comments

It can sometimes be difficult to realign ourselves with our business goals after the holidays – whether that means searching for a profit increase or driving bnusiness growth for the new year, so Bartercard’s first tip is to get organised! Write a list of everything you need to do, people you need to speak to and things you need to action immediately. This will help you focus your attention and kickstart your to-do list.

Secondly, use your work time for just that…work! Remember, if you’re feeling a little demotivated, you need to get involved in a project or come up with some new ideas to implement within the business.  Taking on a formal role to make changes may add additional work, but you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment and have a purpose each day in making something happen.

Thirdly, you need to keep your work/life balance, as a lack of productivity can lead to working later as a way to compensate. It’s important to build a healthy work/life balance but as a way to get back on track and firing on all cylinders, set a rigid schedule and make sure you stick to it. Getting into a routine will help you to compartmentalise and allow you to concentrate more easily on the task at hand during the working day, enabling you to relax at the end of it.

Another tip is to take a break from social media, as it can seriously hinder our performance at work. As we search for distraction in the form of jet-setting friends and cute dog pictures, we can struggle to align ourselves with what really matters.

Finally, it’s important to take some time to reconnect with your co-workers. Find out how their holidays have been and what they are looking forward to this year. Social interaction is important for any business culture and it can be surprising how other people can become a motivating force. So, take time to catch up. You (and your work) will be better for it.

Did you know that Bartercard’s benefits can be used to incentivise performance within your talented team? Bartercard’s cashless currency is becoming a popular choice for employers to incentivise their employees, rewarding additional bonuses and providing staff gifts. In this article Bartercard explain why more and more New Zealand businesses are turning to Bartercard to supplement their workers’ compensation.

For a start, trade dollars can be used to purchase gifts, allowing business owners to conserve that all-important cash, and employees are now being gifted dinners out, accommodation, travel options, and Bartercard gift cards which can be used at thousands of merchants nationwide.

Trade dollars can also serve as an employee bonus for workers, and can act as an incentive scheme for your employees. You can also offer them as a gift card, amounting to T$100 or T$500. Businesses can also set up each employee with a staff card, and you can pay a certain percentage of their salary in trade dollars. This is a great way to motivate your workers to keep your business successful. They can use the trade dollars the same way as you would, to access other goods and services, in accordance with their personal preferences. They’re free to choose where to personally spend their trade dollars without touching their cash.

However, Bartercard isn’t just a B2B benefit; it helps to improve people’s lifestyles with purchases they may not necessarily be able to afford themselves, or might not otherwise think about purchasing.
