Trending now

There are certain types of office supplies that are indispensable. Writing instruments fall into this category. Even though most people do the majority of their note-taking on their laptops or desktop computers, the humble black pen will always have its place in professional work spaces. Make these writing tools available for everyone in your office to encourage efficiency and productivity while on the job.

Why Black Pens Are Indispensable

In office settings, colored ink is usually reserved for very specific purposes. For example, red ink pens may be reserved for document edits or action items that are approaching deadlines. Blue ink may be used primarily to sign financial documents or legally-binding forms. Black ink, on the other hand, isn’t usually reserved for one particular use. That’s why black pens are so versatile and great to have around the office.

Make It Easy to Create Action Lists

Each of your employees should be in the habit of creating daily, weekly, or monthly action lists. Such lists help employees keep projects in perspective and stay on track to meet deadlines. To create action lists and cross completed items off as they go, employees need to have access to writing tools. For this reason, it’s a good idea to offer each employee plenty of black pens at the beginning of the year. Replenish your stock of writing instruments regularly so there’s never a shortage in the office.

Encourage Note-Taking

Company meetings are a great opportunity to make sure all your employees and teams are on the same page and working toward a common goal. They’re also an ideal time to provide your team with updates regarding sales quotas and company growth. If your employees consistently come to such meetings unprepared to take notes, provide them with black pens and notebooks as they enter the conference room.
