Technology has changed the world we live in. Nowadays, we browse our smartphones for the latest news, rather than reading newspapers, and our children are more likely to be found playing video games than hide and seek. But how has technology impacted on the workplace, and how has it helped?
Increased communication
Technology in the workplace is vital as it allows work colleagues to connect with each other, whether they are in the office, at home or in a meeting on the other side of the world. Email and cloud-based technology enable a business to send information to anyone anywhere in the world, and they can be in touch regardless of time constraints.
Improved business growth
Workplace technology almost eliminates the concept of space and time, with applications such as Skype conferencing reducing the need for travel and any costs associated with this. Business technology also allows a company to establish a global presence and connect with a greater customer base than it could previously.
Removal of boundaries restricting business expansion
While many businesses may have set out with a global reach in mind, the cost of doing this was previously far too high, especially for smaller businesses. Now, however, a company can set up a website, advertise and sell their products online, and even recruit employees using online technology. These concepts and many more allow a business to expand at far greater rates than would previously have been thought.
Greater business productivity
Fast and efficient technology in the office reduces the time spent on tasks, and increases workflow. Digital filing eliminates the need for paper storage and printing, saving space in the office. These files are also at the fingertips of anyone who needs them and can be found almost instantly with computer search capabilities.
