Creating the Best In-Home Work Experience for Your Employees

Recent events have forced companies to instruct individuals to work remotely. Remote working is not a new concept and technologies like video conferencing, texting and file-sharing have thankfully made working from home easier.  

Here are some other ways that organizations can help employees create the best in-home work experience:

Let them be hands-free

A good pair of earbuds will allow you to talk hands-free while on the phone or on a video conference call. Noise-canceling earbuds like Apple AirPods Pro are particularly great for those who live on a noisy street or anticipate lots of background noise while working.

Equip them with the power they need to stay connected

With laptops, phones, tablets and other devices in use all day, something is always in need of charging. Rather than having several chargers, which may end up in a mash of wiring, help your employees stay powered and connected all day with a wireless charging system like OtterBox OtterSpot. The stackable charger is capable of charging multiple devices at once and it’s wire-free, which also means clutter-free.

Remind them they are valued

Working from home comes with many distractions. Remind your employees that they are a part of something important. Many of the technology they use on a daily basis can be customized with your company logo. A branded product also serves as a great gift to show your appreciation and your employee’s value during this difficult time.

How We Support the Pet Partners Community

As the second-largest private owner of freestanding veterinary hospitals in the U.S., Pet Partners specializes in purchasing neighborhood veterinary practices and hospitals, and providing the behind-the-scenes support so veterinarians can focus on providing patient care. 

The company’s Operations Support Center (OSC) team works with practices for behind-the-scenes support to help with financial, technology, human resources, purchasing or other business management needs. Pet Partners’ community ranges in size from private clinics to large group animal hospitals.

When a practice is acquired, Pet Partners equips the veterinarian with an iPad that is custom branded with the Pet Partners logo. The device contains preloaded content so it is ready for use with all the necessary tools for the doctor to run the hospital. Finally, a custom device sleeve printed with a Pet Partner image and a welcome note encloses the device, delivering an unprecedented unboxing experience.

Pet Partners bridges the gap between veterinary medicine practice and business operations. By providing the resources needed all on a mobile device, veterinarians are able to run their practice autonomously.

How to Increase Workplace Productivity Without Increasing Headcount

Staying competitive in the age of digital transformation means doing more with less. Your organization may not have the available budget for new hires to cover business growth, or you may be dealing with a talent shortage in the areas that you need help with. The good news is that you can increase workplace productivity without increasing your headcount. 

Identify and Address Your Processes

One of the major culprits that slow down productivity may be your workplace processes.

While processes are supposed to help organizations scale up, they are often complex with layers, workplace politics, and interface structures.

When employers can address that pain point by developing streamlined processes, not only can the business dramatically improve the customer experience, it can also increase job satisfaction for its employees. Additionally, you free up time for your employees by creating efficiencies, giving them more room to innovate. A little automation goes a long way. 

Utilize technology

The truth is, staying abreast of technology is no longer a ‘nice to have’ but is vital to compete with the early adopters in your niche.

Go through a complete audit process on your current technology and look for the areas that are most productive as well as the least productive. Get feedback from the users on exactly what would make their jobs easier to do and start looking for platforms that match these requirements. 

Once you have a good sense of your technology needs, have a strategy in place before making software or hardware purchases. Every off-the-shelf software solution does something specific to solve a specific task or process. And it can get complicated quickly when you have multiple software solutions that need to integrate together.

Consider working with an IT consultant to see if developing a custom software solution from the ground up makes better business sense.

Prepare and position for success

You’re making that technology investment to help your employees work smarter. And you’ll be giving them the tools. The third step in the process is making sure they have the know-how to use them.

Make sure you offer the proper training across the company to ensure your employees understand the new processes. Some companies have found that peer-to-peer training keeps employees more engaged and ambitious. Every company will train differently based on its workplace culture. Find that method resonates best with your employees.
