As work evolves to accommodate in-office, hybrid, and completely remote employees, HR leaders are increasingly relying on technology to bridge the gaps of communication, efficiency, and productivity. With just a few simple technology tools, employers can maximize workplace productivity, no matter where employees are located.
Laptop Docking Stations or Hubs
The benefits of a laptop docking station are significant, offering multi-monitor support and a way to keep a clean, organized workspace, two things that studies show increase productivity.
Multiple monitors are estimated to increase productivity by 42%, and products such as the CA Essential Universal Docking Station DS-6000 and CA Essential Laptop Docking Station DS-1000 are cost-effective solutions. Other brands offer models that can handle up to four monitors simultaneously. A multi-monitor setup can reduce task switching, a known productivity sink, because employees can see more of their work at a time, allowing for easy management of email inboxes, chats like Slack or Teams, online meetings from Zoom or Google Meet, and so much more. For an even greater productivity boost, configure one monitor in portrait mode to reduce scrolling.
