Workplace transformation with Iron Mountain Clean Start
Transforming your workplace
Reduce real estate costs and optimise your workspace
The world has changed, and the way we work has too. Today’s new normal means rethinking office space to ensure employee well-being, reduce costs, and support a productive workforce.
Iron Mountain Clean Start® can help you navigate today’s changing workplace requirements, from dedensifying and reconfiguring the office for social distancing to office closures or moving to a more digital way of working.
Our skilled team will conduct an assessment of your workplace and provide recommendations on how you can maximise real estate by clearing out materials occupying valuable space, including paper records, filing cabinets, servers, PCs and IT assets, office equipment, cabinets, furniture, artwork and more.
We’ll manage the clean-out process and facilitate the secure destruction or donation of the items you don’t need and the temporary or permanent storage of the ones you do.
With Iron Mountain clean start, you can:
-
Reduce your real estate footprint to lower costs
-
Repurpose space for higher-value alternatives and social distancing
-
Recoup closets and storage space stuffed full of outdated IT assets, and unneeded office furniture and equipment
Supporting digital transformation
The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated digital transformation to support virtual workforces. After assessing how your organisation creates, stores, and uses information, we’ll recommend tools such as active file management, document scanning, and workflow automation to improve efficiency and support remote employees with anytime, anywhere access to information.

Frequently asked questions
Whether you’re rethinking or closing office space, navigating mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity, need to become more organised, or want to implement standard processes for managing information and data during real estate changes, we’re here to help.
What is workplace transformation?
Workplace transformation is the process of creating or improving office spaces to meet the dynamic needs of organisations and a changing workforce. It’s a planned activity often led by real estate and facility management professionals in collaboration with leaders throughout the organisation, as well as by service providers like Iron Mountain.
What drives the need for workplace transformation?
Workplace transformation can be driven by changes to your real estate footprint due to organisation expansion or consolidation, merger or acquisition activity, relocation, office closure, or redesigns of an existing office space.
Company initiatives such as a shift to hybrid, remote work or improving resource optimisation can also require organisations to reevaluate their space. If there’s dust on it, figuratively or literally, it may be time for a workplace transformation.
What are the risks of workplace transformation?
Years of normal operations and employee turnover can leave the workplace cluttered and disorganised. Confidential information and assets located in filing cabinets, storage closets, and at employee workstations not only creates risk, but also wastes valuable space.
While traditional moving companies and real estate service companies can support office closure projects, most don’t have the expertise, trained and vetted employees, or secure chain of custody to correctly handle and manage your organisation’s most valuable assets as you make changes to your real estate.
How can workplace transformation support my organisation’s shift to hybrid work practices?
While traditional moving companies and real estate service companies can support office closure projects, most don’t have the expertise, trained and vetted employees, or secure chain of custody to correctly handle and manage your organisation’s most valuable assets as you make changes to your real estate.
While working virtually, employees will expect easy and quick access to both digital and physical information, in addition to tools that facilitate seamless collaboration.
Wherever or however they work, it’s important that organisations stay in tune with employees’ preferences and industry best practices as they transform their workplace.
