Office efficiency

Research from BACS Payment Schemes states that more than two and a half hours a day are in fact lost through technological or individual efficiencies, which would total 80 days per year for each employee.

Among these on the technological side include IT problems and printer dramas being some of the most common issues that take up the missing time, as well as even pedantic colleague conflicts within the office.

Technology

In the modern era, technology not only offers greater access than ever before and an even wider ability to create opportunities, but it also offers a larger failure rate with such a high demand, particularly in a small business.

These problems should be dealt with in a calmer manner which – as hard as it can be to keep cool when technology lets you down – is easily solved when colleagues communicate well and add their individual knowledge to remedy the situation.

Ask employees to communicate with you about problems with other staff or, better still, before moving onto a new IT product, partake in a training course to achieve the right level of knowledge when introducing it to your business.

Failure to do so can be problematic for the dates that follow, as vital time is again lost.

Colleague efficiency

Communication is a key skill to office efficiency, as is planning which should be constructed on either an annual or, better still, a monthly basis.

Prioritise key tasks to ensure that you can flow on to the next stage in a monthly plan, avoiding the problem of panic or, worse still, procrastination.
