Is your business’ technology hindering your employees, or is it making their jobs easier and more efficient? The right technology can go a long way toward improving the employee experience, morale, company culture, and most important of all, productivity. Let’s look at three ways technology makes for a better employee experience.
Enhancing Communication and Collaboration
Technology opens up new avenues for communication and collaboration that didn’t previously exist for your business. You no longer have to be in the same room to work on a project together; you can now instead work together remotely through video conferencing or asynchronously through collaboration and project management tools. These solutions promote transparency in tasks and keep everyone on the same page, even if they’re not in the same location.
Facilitating Employee Recognition and Connection
People like to be recognized for the good work they do, and you can implement technology that lets your team give each other shout-outs for work well done. A company-wide communications platform is ideal for this task, as you can share not just work-related kudos, but anniversaries, birthdays, personal achievements, and so much more. With this kind of feedback in place, your employees will feel more seen and valued. Furthermore, you can facilitate virtual social events—particularly valuable for those who work fully remotely—and help employees stay connected beyond their roles within the organization.
Providing a Seamless Work Experience
Perhaps the most important element of all to employee morale and engagement is making sure the technology you implement actually makes their jobs easier and more enjoyable. Frustrating and unreliable technology can leech morale from your team over time, and you need to do your part to ensure you address issues like slow computers, connectivity issues, and software glitches. Not only is employee morale at stake, but so is productivity, with the former bleeding into the latter if left unchecked. When your team uses technology that fuels their productivity rather than steals it, they’ll feel more accomplished, which contributes to a more positive work environment.
