Let’s see how technology is reshaping the

modern workplace:
1. Changing the Way Businesses Communicate

Technology has changed the way people used to communicate in the modern
workplace. The arrival of smartphones, social networking sites, chat apps has
brought communication to a new level. Communication among the employees, or
management to subordinates, or management to management has become fast,
instantaneous, more deliberate, collaborative, and unified.

You can send emails, text or video chat or even video conference with subordinates
or superiors through social networking apps like WhatsApp, Skype, etc. With the
help of technology, you no longer need to be present at your workplace every time.
You can engage in other important works outside the office, and keep in touch even
face-to-face with your colleagues at the office through video chats and conference.

Management Software helps in building, delegating, reviewing, and assessing a task.

keeping everything on track. It fixes the responsibility, accountability, efficiency, and
timed delivery of tasks assigned to people.

The modern workplace has now many innovative products and software to increase
the workflow and boost efficiency. Project Management Software helps to improve

red flag every time a task gets off track that might lead to a project failure. Space

Businesses nowadays rely on business productivity software that provides many


tools to overcome challenges of executing on strategy every day. It enables

performance of the organizations. Access to new technology has enabled the
employees to do things faster with precision and has helped in discouraging
workplace distractions, thus raising productivity.

4. Helping in Cost Management

Improving profitability is the ultimate goal of every company. Due to innovative


technological software, companies are now becoming fiscally healthy as these
innovations are proving to be more cost-effective. Every workplace has some chore
tasks that need dedicated people to handle it. It needlessly keeps the costs high.
This cost can also be reduced by installing SaaS tools in the workplace.

Through SaaS tools, we can eliminate the manual handling of a task by automating
wherever possible and focusing on the integration of different tasks. Not only that,
automated processes give more accurate results, and help keep every record with
its date and time mentioned. This way they are easy to be recalled for any business
purpose. This overall management of costs at different levels provides better
profitability by reducing the cost.

5. Keeping the Business Secure

Business workplace at its every level demands a great level of security for its safe
running. Technology plays a vital part in doing so. It provides an end-to-end
hardware and software-based data encryption so that only authorized parties are
able to retrieve and read it. Fingerprint and facial recognition features give an added
level of security to the systems at the workplace.

The companies are using innovative technology and implementing security software
and algorithms to make sure that sensitive information is accessible to the right
people and is protected from malicious hacking attempts.

6. Giving Customizing Options

Technology has made it possible to customize any software according to the


variable business needs. Businesses are now using such software to manage their
day-to-day operations. One such software that is becoming popular in the modern
workplace is facility management software.
Whether large or small, every business workplace has its own way of doing things
for achieving their goals. For that, they need a kind of technological support that
suits their style of working and the customizable software is able to provide those
services.

7. Increasing Collaboration

has helped us connect with people anywhere and at any time. This increased
collaboration has brought a high level of flexibility in communication that allows
employees, co-workers, and managers to connect with each other easily.

As employees can now connect and communicate no matter where they are, this
has helped in encouraging teamwork, mutual understanding, and bonding between
the employees. Improved level of collaboration also helps leaders and managers to
stay in touch with their employees and manage them better. Increased collaboration
on projects has enabled the companies to keep their clients updated on their project
performance and progress.

8. Reducing the Risk of Security Breaches

Stealing critical and important information was easy in the past, but now with the
use of technology, the threat of data thefts and leaks have been reduced. Proper
security measures are being implemented in the workplace that helps in keeping
important information safe.

It has also become easier to keep a check on the employee’s’ online communication
and activities to ensure that they don’t get involved in any practice which is against
the interest of the company. As employees know that they are being watched all the
time, the likelihood of getting involved in any wrong practice is reduced.

9. Improving Efficiency of Employees

Time management is important in the modern workplace as poor time management


can cause deadlines to be missed leading to an unhappy client. Time management
has now become easier with the help of modern technological tools. These tools
have helped in optimizing the daily working routine and enabling the employees to
focus on the most important task.
This helps in increasing the efficiency of the employees, allowing them to meet the
deadlines and eventually results in client satisfaction. As technological
advancements have reduced the amount of time and effort spent on daily activities,
employees can now spend more time on creativity and developing new ideas.

10. Enabling Remote Working

New technology has enabled remote working, teleconferencing and co-working


space which has completely reshaped the modern workplace. Mobile and cloud
technology has allowed instant and remote access which enables internet-based
service models. This has resulted in interconnected workplaces not tied to one
location, but many. They are hinged together by virtual conferencing, complete
connection and portability.

Cloud technologies and improved IM systems have helped the employees to work
from anywhere with the click of a mouse. Video conferencing has made it possible to
coordinate with the best employees no matter where they are.
