What is a records management policy and how does it affect filing cabinet needs?

A records management policy defines what documents must be created, how long they must be retained, and how they must be destroyed. Proper policies determine both how much physical filing capacity you need (based on retention periods) and when documents can be purged to free up cabinet space. Without a policy, offices accumulate unnecessary paper and run out of filing space. OfficeFurniture2go.com helps offices plan filing capacity around retention requirements — call 1-800-460-0858.
