The Many Uses of Cork/Bulletin Boards
Cork boards or bulletin boards have been around for many years. They have been used in the home, schools and in business. The cork board is not something that we often think about, but when you consider all of the many uses the board has in our everyday life. There are some uses that you may not have even considered with cork boards that make them an inexpensive and useful item to include in your office or classroom.
The cork board is a great place to post updates and business news that all employees would be interested in viewing. In business, placing a cork board in a central location for all employees allows you to post information on new benefits, company policy and upcoming events in the company. The break room is a good place to keep a company bulletin board with all the information that you want to convey to employees.
Email notices are great, but not all employees may have access to email within your organization. The bulletin board ensures the best chance that everyone that needs to know your information will see it.
In the classroom, a cork board is an area that can show all the accomplishments of the students. With a special reading program or a math challenge, students can see how they are faring in the competition. A cork board allows you to post new information on the fun and educational contests happening in the classroom.
Every employee should have a cork board or bulletin board in their office. It is a good place to post information that you don’t want to forget such as meeting times or monthly goals. Post it notes work great, but for a more permanent reminder of your goals and special appointments for the week, you are sure to never forget them in your busy day.
Cork boards make great suggestion boxes. This can be used in the classroom or the boardroom. A student can post their ideas for a fun event or field trip idea and the employee can offer suggestions for the business to implement. Putting the cork board up can inspire students and employees to come up with exciting ideas that the company or teacher can use for everyone.
Use a cork board to post pictures of employees. A work place that has a bit of a personal touch is a much more pleasant place to work. Have the employees post their baby pictures on the bulletin board and see if everyone can guess who is who. This is also a good classroom project.
The cork board can be used as a personal item in a cubicle or office or you can choose to make the cork board a public board that everyone can use to display ideas and information. Small bulletin boards are a very low cost item to include in an organization or classroom.
Bulletin boards are available everywhere including the Internet. Business and office supply stores have varying sizes of bulletin boards available to suit any location. Choose the cork boards that will be noticed if they are to serve as a public information center. Smaller cork boards are needed for offices and cubicles. You can also choose a selection of smaller cork boards that each serve a different purpose. While cork boards may be an inexpensive item, shop carefully so that you can make the most of the ones you get.
