How to Hire Your Best Employee
One That Won't Ask for Benefits, Sick Leave or Vacation!
Your phone system can increase the productivity of some of your busiest employees.
Headsets can increase productivity by up to 43% by allowing your employees to keyboard or perform other functions while talking on the phone. Headsets also reduce neck strain and headaches, which account for 5-8 hours of lost productive time per week in 13% of the workforce - costing employers $61.2 billion dollars annually!
Cordless phones are another productivity-booster, allowing your receptionist or assistant to make copies, file documents or stand to greet your visitors without missing phone calls.
Why not go hands-free and cordless? It's less expensive than you think!
If you have shop workers or other groups who need to continue to work with their hands even if a call comes in, consider hands-free answerback intercom, which allows them to answer a call without having to pick up the phone - or push any buttons! Imagine a speakerphone that automatically turns on when a call is transferred!
Having phones in locations where work is being done may seem like common sense, but is an oft-overlooked element when installing a new phone system.
Your vendor should make sure there's always a phone where work is taking place - in the break room, the conference room, the copy room, the file room.
The same goes for fax and credit card machines - locate them at the receptionist's desk, in the copy room, in high-use departments or desktops.
