The next installment of our cost savings feature focuses on reducing costs associated with making phone calls and using cell cards. Remember that these cost saving tips can make an impact, so please take them into consideration. You can make a difference!
*Never use the Agency’s 800 numbers to call another branch office. Almost all staff members are assigned a 5-digit extension that can be dialed for free from any office, but we know that some staff members are still calling other offices using 800 numbers. Using an 800 number charges the Agency for a long distance phone call that is completely unneeded. All extension numbers can be found using PeopleBox or the directory.
*Share or turn in cell cards. Cell cards (which allow staff members to connect to the Internet in locations with poor connectivity) cost $45.01 per month per card or $540.12 per year. Returning low or no use cards and/or sharing cards among staff members can save the Agency money. Heartland’s annual cost for cell cards is nearly $80,000.
