/* */Do you sometimes feel that you can’t run your business with the same speed with which technology is evolving? Are you afraid of adopting new technologies for your business? If answers to these questions is ‘yes’, you are creating an obstacle for your business.
You can do nothing else to avoid being stagnant in your business than to adopt technologies that will enhance the productivity of your employees. Here are 3 excellent business productivity tools that involve technological innovation.
1. Access to Information
Offering an easy access to your employees to the information they need to do their job is a very important part of your business. Suppose, you have a corporate intranet; however because of network breakdown no one can access it. In such a situation, an important client calls who needs instant confirmation of information in your system. What can you do in that case? Will you tell the customer that you can’t give him that information since you don’t have it? That won’t present you as a professional, right?
To avoid this type of situation, you should include a more reliable network in your business. This includes backing up data, proper security measures, multifaceted approach and continuous improvement in processes. To make sure your employees have easy access to the needed information, network stability is a must, for which a high-quality, secure VPN is necessary.
Easy access to information will make your employees happy and it will save a lot of time. It will save them from being frustrated. Eventually their productivity will be increased.
2. Assurance of Availability through Bring Your Own Device Policy and Video Conferencing
A VPN also allow your employees to work from anywhere and anytime they feel comfortable. This also leads to a great increase in productivity simply because your employees are comfortable and satisfied while working. Another productivity tool or policy is BYOD i.e. Bring-Your-Own-Device. Through this, employees can use their own computers and because they are familiar with their own devices, their efficiency increases.
A video conferencing solution ensures ready availability of employees, eliminates time needed for traveling to office and eliminates any offsite meetings. Travel is typically expensive and increases tiredness and thereby inefficiency. Simply by using video conferencing you can increase your team’s productivity.
3. Collaboration Suite
A collaboration software or suite like Microsoft Teams, G-Suite or Slack, is designed to offer an all-in-one environment for team members to plan, discuss and implement workflows. This tool increases productivity by helping employees communicate about projects, make them at ease while sharing their thoughts, minimize meetings that are the biggest drains of time in businesses, and thus save a lot of time, and thus motivate employees to communicate more, even though the communication is online.
So, involve technology in your business and increase productivity to see your business flourishing!
