As the Executive Director of a non-profit organization I am always looking for the best value when it comes to equipment and service. Often it is a struggle to find that one company that can give you both at a level our organization can afford. I am proud to say that for the past 4 years we have been very pleased with Yuma Office Equipment. They worked within our budget, pairing us with the best copying and fax equipment, along with a comprehensive maintenance agreement. Offering same day assistance if something goes wrong, and knowing that their technicians are right here in town has added to my belief that they offer the best value. We appreciate everything that Craig Crossland and his staff do for Hospice of Yuma and recommend Yuma Office Equipment to any business looking to add new copying and faxing equipment.

The Upside of Downtime: Working Productively While the Internet Is Out
Posted Aug 15, 2016
What happens when the Internet goes out? Whether due to power loss, Internet service outage, or other technological problems, there are a few things that you can do to move your business forward while your IT team works to get you back up and running.
Tidy Up - Clear desks, dust electronics, file paper documents, and set aside items to be scanned and shredded. A clean and tidy physical space demonstrates professionalism. It also makes for clearer thinking and better focus while you work.
Touch Base Individually - Take advantage of tech-less time by sitting down individually with your team members. A thoughtful discussion can provide insight into opportunities for improvement, as well as a chance to praise good work.
Hold a Staff Meeting - When the Internet is out, get some face time with your team. Discuss strategic initiatives, recent issues, and exciting plans. Celebrate your team’s victories to build a sense of ownership and boost morale.
Conduct Training - Use downtime to coach employees and encourage the development of critical skills. Prioritizing, time management, and communication are always valuable topics. Or consider role playing scenarios to improve customer service.
