We’ve been spending the past few weeks examining productivity and how to optimize it. It's now necessary to address the problems that could throw the proverbial wrench into the works.
Don’t worry, though, we’re also going to touch on how you can avoid and/or mitigate the issues that might threaten your productivity.
This blog recently discussed productivity, and how it can be defined. We wanted to continue our deep dive into the concept of productivity with an examination of the different ways that you can measure your own.
How can you keep track of your productivity? Continue reading.
Productivity has been, is now, and likely will forever be heralded as one of the preeminent goals for any business. As such, it makes sense to understand as much as we can about it. To do so, we’ll be examining a different aspect of productivity for the next few weeks.
First up: what is productivity, exactly?
Meetings are a common hold-up for getting things done in the office, an idea that is certainly not unfounded. Research supports the premise that meetings impact productivity. Consider what the numbers say and how you can work to ensure meetings don’t influence your organization’s productivity in a negative way.
No one can tell when a disaster is going to hit your organization or what form that disaster is going to take. The cause could be a storm, human error, or some freak occurrence that nobody could have seen coming. In order to get back up and running after one of these incidents a company needs to have a strong business continuity strategy. An essential part of this strategy is knowing how to recover data depending on the way it’s lost. Getting data back and working for your business is the only way to stave off ruin. Listed below is a look at data recovery strategies that can literally save your business.
How does your organization manage its IT? Do you have an in-house team, and how busy are they with all of the hustle and bustle of their everyday duties? Do they have time to address the many challenges and requests made of them? If not, then perhaps you should consider a different model for your IT management. Fortunately, we have just the opportunity for you, and you won’t want to miss out on it.
All jobs have aspects that are simply dull or unengaging; nothing can be exciting all the time. This week we wanted to focus on these rote tasks and what you can do to make them have less of an impact on your time and job fulfillment. Turns out, the key to solving this issue stems from technology, specifically the ability to automate said tasks.
The idea of a four-day workweek has been popular for a while now, to the point where it is actively being tested in practical settings. Below is a discussion on how successful this approach has been (spoiler alert: it’s been quite successful indeed).
Have you ever gotten a message that just makes your heart sink in your chest? Chances are good that your team members feel that way whenever you send them a particular message, especially during certain times. Below we consider why this may be the case, and how you can better manage your communications to more effectively communicate with your team.
How many of your employees do you think have a second job? This isn’t a particularly outlandish concept, but one thing that has come about as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its surge of remote work is that some employees hold two jobs at the same time, and not in the way that you might expect.
Remote work has become a bit of a topic of contention lately. While employees have been relishing the advantages that remote work provides them, many employers have been doing everything they can to bring their workforce back into the workplace.
Now, it wouldn’t be unfair for you to assume that we would push remote work as a managed service provider because we just so happen to assist businesses in managing it as a part of our services. This is true enough…but we aren’t the only ones with an opinion on the topic.
Quiet quitting…it’s a buzzword that many may misunderstand that has seen increasing virality on social media. Listed below is an honest evaluation on what quiet quitting really means, and what it means for your organization.
There are countless moving parts to any successful company, and smaller businesses often have the problem of their employees juggling multiple different tasks and wearing all kinds of different hats in addition to their outlined job duties and responsibilities. You might encounter situations where you don’t know what to do, and it can be overwhelming when so much needs to get done in so little time.
Many businesses, seeking to balance the positives brought by remote work to the value that in-person, face-to-face operations provide, have leaned into hybrid work practices. This has led to many reconsidering how their office space is set up. How are these considerations shaping the modern workplace?
Every business depends on productivity, but there are many different forms that productivity can take. The types that every company prefers are the actions that result in improved revenue generation. That’s not to say that all work that is done for your organization isn’t imperative, but the more that can be done to make money, the better off your business will be. Listed below are a look at three ways your business can shift the way they do things with the use of technology.
The past few years have made many people understandably nervous about their health and spending extended amounts of time around other people—which can make coming into the office a very, very stressful experience for some. How can you make your office a healthier place so your team can feel a little more protected as they work?
How has your company managed its technology in recent years? Depending on the way you have done so, you could be unnecessarily throwing money down the drain when you could instead be reinvesting it into your business. If you are ready to take your operations to the next level, consider changing your approach to your office’s technology management with managed services.
Every expense that your organization takes on requires consideration. When you are looking to keep your company productive, you need to focus on keeping downtime to a minimum. In order to do that you need to have tools that don’t take a lot of work-time maintenance and have professional perspectives available that can help keep operations running when problems with your business’ technology do happen.
You may or may not have already made the transition back to the office, and this especially applies more to those who haven’t yet. That being said, even those who have may find some utility here, specifically in determining if a push to a full return to office was the right move.
Let’s explore how modern employees may react to the news that remote work will no longer be an option.
If you want to limit costs, being proactive can go a long way toward this goal. Your organization's technology is one such area where proactive maintenance can allow your business to save countless dollars and hours of downtime. If you haven’t implemented a proactive maintenance platform yet, then you might be putting your business at risk.
