Because of a hectic schedule, stress in decreasing efficiency of employees. Let technology reduce stress in the workplace and grow well.
In today’s fast-paced world where everything happens so quickly, the workplace can get pretty toxic, pretty fast.
All in the name of productivity that can sometimes be crunched into numbers, companies sometimes forget that they have actual people as their employees that need ways to make work easier and lessen stress.
Even if they manage to assemble a great team that performs regularly, the team eventually gets burned out and the company is left with a long lull in exchange for bursts of productive periods.
One way to stop this from happening is giving your staff a hand in ways that do not involve hiring more people that can generate stress. What you should do is take advantage of the lightning-fast technological advances that can make daily operations much easier and more cohesive in a seamless digital process.
Cut down on Costs
When you’re a startup or an SME, knowing that you’re saving a lot on certain things that doesn’t hamper efficiency can help take the edge off bills every month. You can switch phone systems to something easier on the budget. VoIP phone services give you the same telephony solutions at much lower cost each month, with a full suite of phone features at your fingertips.
Install a Call Management System.
You can actually install a cheap cloud-based PBX once you’ve switched over to VoIP phone services. Your company phone gets a switch that filters calls to the right devices, so people don’t have to be stressed out when every phone ring at once. They can be assured that the calls they get are the important ones pertaining to them specifically.
Share Files Instead of Emailing them.
Emailing documents can get tedious especially when the attachments need to be updated by different people. When you use a file-sharing application, your staff can download and upload the document again and again, with detailed updates on the editing done to each version. There are a lot of available apps that can work across a large number of devices from laptops to PCs and to smartphones.
Use Voice Mail
Unanswered calls and busy tones can bog down work processes especially on collaborative efforts. When your staff can leave messages after missed calls, the communication process isn’t slowed down. Just make sure to ask your employees to check their inboxes regularly for messages.
Ask your Service Provider to Manage your Calls
When you install a virtual PBX, you can actually ask your service provider to handle all the call management functions to your specification for an additional minimal fee. This way, all you need to do is sit back and wait for important calls to come through and let service providers like RingCentral do the rest.
