Creating a more productive workplace and profiting through technology

As small business owners, much of the time we are looking for ways to streamline and reduce costs. Traditionally the first places that businesses cut back on are human resources/benefits and technology/IT. Why? Normally these areas of business offer the least profits to the business.

According to Spector CNE, “The Wall Street Journal recently reported that according to The Society for Human Resource Management, 59% of employees lie about the number of hours worked. Increasingly, employees use office technology to make it look like they are working when they are not. Email timers allow them to send a message even when they’re not there and instant messaging can be reconfigured to appear as if the employee is online.”

Spector CNE also reported that, “According to a recent Gallup poll, the average employee spends over 75 minutes per day using office computers for non-business related activity. That translates into an annual loss of $6250 per year, per employee”
