Moving Forward: 6 ways technology can shake up your workplace culture

1. Increased Productivity

Perhaps the most wide ranging benefit technology can implement is the increased productivity becoming digitally orientated can bring to your business and workplace culture. From answering emails on the commute, to using devices they’re most familiar with, trusting your team with their smartphones, tablets and laptops will encourage your team to work in the ways they feel most comfortable. In this way, introducing technology into your workplace culture will mean your business can move effortlessly with the times.

2. Retaining your Team

No matter what industry you’re working within, maintaining staff retention is crucial for your business growth, your profits and your overall happiness within your workplace culture. 87% of millennials say professional growth is a top priority when they’re searching for a new role, or considering whether to move on to a different opportunity. As more and more of us grow up immersed in the digital world, introducing technology into your workplace culture is a great way of offering your team new opportunities in the digital space.

3. Interactive Communications

As well as making external communications to your customers a lot more manageable, implementing digital transformation within your workplace culture can help your internal communications flow much more easily too. Cultivating quality friendships and relationships in the workplace is key to making sure your team enjoy coming to work; encouraging the use of digital devices that allow your team to stay in touch will not only send your productivity levels sky high, it’ll have a very positive impact on your workplace culture too.

4. Streamlined Efficiency

We all know how much time it can take getting to grips with technology or programs you’re not familiar with. Taking the time to train up your team on the digital developments they could be working with will not only encourage a more helpful atmosphere within your workplace culture, it’ll allow them to become much more efficient in their day to day working lives too. Streamlining the digital devices your business makes use of will make sure you can stay ahead of your competitors in the digital world, supporting your team by implementing a workplace culture that focuses on upcoming developments they can take hold of.

5. Increasing Your Profits, Reducing Your Expenditure

Alongside helping your team to navigate efficiently within the digital world, integrating technology within your workplace culture can have a tangible impact on your business’s profits. Trusting your team with their own digital devices opens up the possibility of remote working. As well as having a positive impact on your workplace culture, this can help you cut down on office overheads like physical software and building maintenance costs.

6. Encouraging Innovation

Last but not least, keeping your team on board with developments in the digital world can create the most ultimate innovative results in the work they produce every day.
