The Team Members of Loudoun Home Consulting, LLC (LHC) are members of the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals (NAPO).
Owner, Janet Hanchuck, conducts training classes for LHC Team Members to ensure clients are treated with respect and organizers will adhere to the NAPO Code of Ethics (listed in the adjacent column). Each Organizer promises to abide by this code when joining NAPO.
Here is an excerpt from the NAPO website which explains a lot of what we do:
Our Profession
The professional organizing industry has grown steadily in recent years as Americans and others all over the world attempt to gain better control of their lives.
Facing more and more demands with less and less free time, consumers are struggling to manage their days and conquer the clutter and chaos building up in their lives. Increasingly, they are turning to professional organizers for help.
With this growing consumer demand, there are more business opportunities for professional organizers than ever before.
For anyone without well-developed professional skills, however, succeeding in the organizing industry can seem just as daunting as those organizational challenges consumers face. NAPO prides itself on helping members acquire the organizational and business knowledge they need to succeed.
What Professional Organizers Do
Professional organizers use tested principles and expertise to enhance the lives of clients. By designing custom organizing systems and teaching organizing skills, they help individuals and businesses take control of their surroundings, their time, their paper piles, their lives!
An organizer’s services can range from designing an efficient closet to organizing a cross-country move. For homeowners, he or she might offer room-by-room space planning and reorganization, estate organization, improved management of paperwork and computer files, systems for managing personal finances and other records, and/or coaching in time-management and goal-setting.
In business settings, an organizing pro can increase productivity and profitability with improvements in paper-filing and storage, electronic organizing, work-flow systems, employee time-management, space design, and more.
Some professional organizers work with specific populations, such as those with Attention Deficit Disorder, the chronically disorganized, children, Seniors or students.
NAPO Code of Ethics
Clients
I will serve my clients with integrity, competence, and objectivity, and will treat them with respect and courtesy.
I will offer services in those areas in which I am qualified and will accurately represent those qualifications in both verbal and written communications.
When unable or unqualified to fulfill requests for services, I will make every effort to recommend the services of other qualified organizers and/or other qualified professionals.
I will advertise my services in an honest manner and will represent the organizing profession accurately.
Confidentiality
I will keep confidential all client information, both business and personal, including that which may be revealed by other organizers.
I will use proprietary client information only with the client's permission.
I will keep client information confidential and not use it to benefit myself or my firm, or reveal this information to others.
Fees
I will decide independently and communicate to my client in advance my fees and expenses, and will charge fees and expenses which I deem reasonable, legitimate, and commensurate with my experience, the services I deliver, and the responsibility I accept.
I will make recommendations for products and services with my client's best interests in mind.
Colleagues
I will seek and maintain an equitable, honorable, and cooperative association with other NAPO members and will treat them with respect and courtesy.
I will respect the intellectual property rights (materials, titles, and thematic creations) of my colleagues, and other firms and individuals, and will not use proprietary information or methodologies without permission.
I will act and speak on a high professional level so as not to bring discredit to the organizing profession.
