In reply to Cost Saving Ideas - help please, posted by saw on February 1, 2005, at 5:03:01

My company went through the same thing. I'm not sure how many of these would apply to you but I thought I'd list them anyway. (I hate some of them):

- eliminate sick days and replace with paid time off days (basically if you call in sick, it takes away from your vacation time)

- offer local numbers as an alternative to using 800 numbers (we were using 800 numbers to call offices down the street)

- use email (or an intranet site) to send out notices versus printing them on paper or sending them to each employees home

- auctioning off company vehicles that are no longer used or just coming off of a lease

- consolidate the purchasing of office supplies so that not every department is ordering them and creating excess

- company calendars will no longer be free. each employee is responsible for buying his/her own calendar

- reward employees that submit significant cost savings ideas

I've got more but I just don't know if they will apply to you...
