How much is outdated technology costing you?

Several years ago I worked for a company that did not value technology. Employees worked on very old computers that processed everything slowly. I was shocked when I witnessed a coworker’s computer spend 15 seconds loading a web page. Her job was managing digital campaigns so she needed to be online all day. A slow computer was causing her to lose 15 minutes an hour. This comes to around 2 hours a day/8 hours a week/40 hours a month, which is the loss of a full week. Skimping on technological resources for employees was actually costing our company up to 25% of their employee payroll costs.

Slow computers are not the only thing that wastes employee time. Outdated workflows and tools waste employee time in quantifiable ways. Not only does a clunky tool take longer to use, it also creates lots of halting breaks for employees, interrupting their flow and leaving room for distractions. Outdated, labyrinthine processes not only cost time, they cause errors. Fortunately, the right tools and technology can solve these issues.
