Tech Transformation – 5 Ways Technology Has Revolutionized the Workplace

It’s no secret that times are changing. The technological revolution has seen some of the fastest changes in industrial history. A big example: by the early 2000s mobile phones were a household item. Now, less than ten years later in 2018, they include the features of a computer, alarm clock, calculator – all readily available without overflowing your pocket! Additionally, with mobile internet, there’s a rabbit-hole of technological features accessible via applications.

Technology has transformed the way we live our lives including the way we work, and for the most part, allows us to take productivity, efficiency and security to a new level. Let’s have a look at some of the ways this is so:

1. You Don’t Need To Work At Work

The internet enables companies to adopt flexible working practices since employees aren’t always required to physically be at their desk to access their work. Telecommuting – the act of working from home (or anywhere with an internet connection) – removes the hassles and time spent on commuting by eliminating a central location for your work to take place. Embracing virtual office solutions is a clever and efficient way to cut costs on renting space and commuting, and allows you to work from locations around the world at your convenience!

2. Marketing Went Digital And Never Looked Back

Digital marketing is an entire industry that has grown and flourished with the rise of the internet and social media. Given that the majority of social media and marketing analytical tools are free, with a bit of time and patience, employees can adopt these skills themselves or receive training for a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional team to handle marketing. This space, as it relies on web marketing tools and techniques, is also one that can operate comfortably via telecommuting rather than a traditional agency at a fixed location.

  1. Productivity Is Rising

With progress-tracking tools, calendars, smart tools and organizational technology, monitoring performance and sourcing information has never been easier. Using shared technology make collaboration possible and straightforward online, even if you’re at a great distance from your collaborators. It allows for reliable storage online that saves the time, cost, space and general hassle of supplying and monitoring storage units and hard drives. 

  1. Smarter Security of Sensitive Information

End-to-end hardware and software-based data encryption aren’t the stuff of science fiction films anymore. Encryption features are commonly used to protect workplace sensitive data so that only authorized parties can retrieve and read it. Implementing fingerprint and facial recognition is now widespread within security systems from your phone to the alarm at home. These now easily-accessible features can provide an extra level of security to workplace systems.

5. Getting Personal

Lastly, we have greater personalization as a result of technological advances. This is present in retail and shopping – your customers can create personal accounts with a retailer and use wish-lists and registers to disclose their preferences and budgets. This is an advantage as businesses use this information to better tailor the customer experience to their clientele. Targeted advertising, user and customer experience are blooming industry sectors as a result of this.

Aspects of work are transforming at a fast rate, with flexible, virtual offices giving us more remote workers and digitalization changing the way we act. With technology, today’s workers can enjoy the benefits of increased security, higher rates of productivity, and workplace flexibility among other things – quite a step up from working on pen and paper!
