As Universities grow, it is not uncommon that streamlined processes begin to lack efficiency. Administrators are tasked with addressing issues at the student, staff, and faculty level, and growth makes this process taxing. In an organization made up of thousands of people, it\u2019s difficult to keep track of every staff member\u2019s individual productivity\u2014something you\u2019ve probably experienced before.<\/span><\/p>\n

While some of the tips and strategies we\u2019re going to list below can be ubiquitous across multiple types of businesses, they are commonly utilized by colleges and universities to improve their campuses and overall culture. If you\u2019re trying to improve your university staff efficiency<\/a>, then look no further. The below will, at the very least, motivate you to brainstorm certain changes and efforts that can be made. Because a happy and efficient staff is key to keeping students satisfied<\/a> and happy!<\/span><\/p>\n

Update Your Mailroom<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

Traditional mailrooms are dismally unprepared to handle the crushing number of packages that come through the doors each day. The increase in online-shopping habits among college students and university staff presents a new challenge for college mailrooms that need to be addressed immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rise of Package Delivery<\/span><\/h4>\n

Letters are practically obsolete; students rely on emails and texts to communicate with friends and family. Most university mailrooms were built in a time where the influx of letters greatly outnumbered that of packages. This trend has shifted. Packages containing everything from food to electronics to books are piling up in mailrooms that don\u2019t have the capacity to store them, nor the technology to efficiently sort and distribute them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some estimates report that one student may receive 31 packages per year on average; this rate is expected to increase by more than 13 percent annually. In addition to the staff and faculty that ship packages to the university\u2019s address, this increase in deliveries adds up to hundreds of thousands of deliveries to manage on a regular basis. <\/span><\/p>\n

Streamline the Package Delivery System<\/span><\/h4>\n

Help your university staff manage the growing popularity of online-shopping by installing\u00a0University parcel lockers<\/a>. Parcel Pending offers a safe, reliable solution to mailrooms overwhelmed by packages, limited by pickup hours, and overcrowded by students waiting to pick up their package at the same time. Parcel lockers streamline package delivery and pickup, automating an inefficient, outdated system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parcel Pending lockers are customizable to suit your university\u2019s needs and effectively reduce the stress on the staff tasked with receiving and distributing packages throughout the institution. <\/span>
