Old Technology and Its Impact to Staff Morale

Written by Metro Admin | 07/28/2017

Technology is undeniably an important feature in every aspect of the workplace. From communication to documentation, everything can be done efficiently with its help. Using dated technology, however, can greatly affect the morale of your employees. Metro Offices, the top provider of office space for rent, explains more:

 

Poor Teamwork

Having a clear line of communication is important for any business. Without it, several tasks would be compromised, especially those where employees are depending on the input of others. It usually takes a proper internet connection to maintain an open communication. For businesses that haven’t adopted the latest setup, both wired and wireless devices won't perform at maximum efficiency. This results in more wasted time since employees are not able to converse effectively with one another. While an alternative would be to use their personal device, this can lead to consuming personal data allowance. It’s quite apparent that they can get discontented.

Disappointing Waiting Times

According to studies, employees spend less time on annual leave than waiting for old technology to show them what they’re searching for. Furthermore, it’s estimated that up to 167 hours are spent waiting on technology. Morale can take a hit and so will productivity. However, when your office space has an internet connection that is three times faster than your current setup, you can save at least 10 minutes a day. This allows your employees to finish their tasks early without compromising quality.
