Why use a Notice Board
Notice boards are a great way to promote, educate and communicate information within an office, school, home or workplace. They help to create awareness, inspire and encourage people to engage and interact. These boards allow employees to see important deadlines each day so tasks don’t miss their deadlines resulting in poor customer experience and unhappy customers.
Uses of a Notice Board
Notice boards are a flexible way of sharing or storing different types of information, such as:
• Health and Safety information
• Projects
• Feedback & issues
• Notes & reminders
• Upcoming Activities
• Adverts
• Training courses
• Meetings
Are Notice Boards important?
