A company’s most valuable asset is typically its employees. As an owner and/or manager we are tasked with getting more productivity out of our employees which isn’t always easy. At Layered Systems, we often get asked by our clients how they can use technology to be more efficient and one of our most common answers is by adding multiple monitors to a user’s PC. Multiple Monitors extend your desktop so you can easily drag applications or programs from one screen to another.
Having two monitors allows your employees to have several office applications open on the different screens, while easily pulling information from one application to another. For example, imagine not having to constantly move applications around to see data from an e-mail that needs to be entered into a spreadsheet. You can have those two applications open on two separate monitors, and be able to easily pull data from one and place into the other. This makes day-to-day tasks much easier than before, when struggling on one monitor.
There have been numerous studies looking at the productivity gains by adding two monitors. Studies have shown anywhere between 10%-50% productivity increase for employees. Productivity gain really depends on the position and job responsibilities since productivity will increase more depending on how many applications an employee needs to use concurrently. Not only will you make your employees more productive but they will appreciate the second monitor so much they won’t want to give it back. The majority of the PC’s we place at our clients support two monitors right out of the box so, for $100-$200, a second monitor can be easily added to a PC. If you are interested in setting up dual monitors and would like assistance, please contact us, either by phone 800-557-0663 or email [email protected].
