Internet and technology in your business directly influence how you communicate with your consumers. Small business development is growing due to technology. We’ve seen tons of technological trends taking over the small business, and we can tell some of these trends are here to stay. If you haven’t explored some of these opportunities for your business, read through this blog to learn how technology for the business can help your workflow.
Voice-Activated Technology
Voice-activated technology is more popular than ever, and can be extremely beneficial in the workplace. We’re seeing voice activation through iPhones, Siri, Alexa, and tons of other devices. Voice-activated devices are a huge technological trend in the small business. When you’re busy working at your desk with multiple tasks at hand, voice-activated tools can make all the difference. Make it easier for yourself to stay organized and toggle back and forth between responsibilities.
Communication Technology
Slack or HipChat are both great employee communication platforms for the workplace. Make it easier for co-workers to communicate and ask each other questions. These platforms make work easier, allowing for quick messaging, sharing documents, reminders, and notifications. Create a space for people to talk about anything and everything work related. Many businesses benefit greatly from an employee group chat.
Wearable Technology
The right wearable technology for your employees will depend on your business. If you’re in sales, or you constantly have employees on the phone with clients, consider headsets for easy, hands-free working. If your employees are up and about the office constantly, consider Bluetooth headphones to eliminate wires and fuss. If incentivizing your employees with health benefits is important to you, consider a FitBit to track steps and movement.
Whatever technology you choose to increase the efficiency of your workdays, be sure it’s appropriate for your industry. Do your research and see what technology can best help your field of work.
