Lots of people think that the best wages attract the best workforce and this is certainly a factor, but not the sole one.
Employees like to feel that they are valued contributers to the company and that they have the best devices to do the work for which they were hired. For office staff, this involves having access to the best office apparatus available on the market. Computers figure at the top of the list of office apparatus followed very closely by the office telephony system.
The office telephone system with its inter-office intercom, its switchboard and desk telephones has been around for a very long time - sixty or seventy years, but anyone who retired from office life more than five or six years ago would probably find it hard to recognize today’s modern office telephonic set-ups.
The switchboard operator has gone for all but the largest middle-sized firms. Large businesses use the much-hated ‘Push button…’ system to filter calls to the correct office and the telephones of smaller firms can be managed from a small unit by the secretary. Calls can become routed via landlines, mobiles or the Net.
However, colossal changes have also taken place at the dialing and receiving ends of the call, the office desk. Office workers have not been tied to their desk by the cord of a telephone for quite a while now, but it still meant holding the phone, leaving you with just one hand free. These days, the whole telephone system has been built into a wireless headset for complete freedom to roam.
Nowadays, there is no necessity to miss a call because you were in a different office at the filing cabinet and did not hear the phone buzzing or could not get back in time, because you can pick up your phone remotely from up to 200 metres away. This is great for reps who often spend at least six hours a day on the phone.
In a survey, reps said that the distraction of a call close by and the cramps caused by being attached to the desk phone were major hindrances to doing there work in the correct manner. The wireless headset will solve these problems, because the rep can stand up and move to a quieter area to take or make a call and can stand up for a walk without fear of missing an vital call.
If you would like to introduce this technology into your home office to give you the independence to wander around the house without missing a call, try the Plantronics USB wireless headset, which will transform any traditional desk, telephone set-up into a wireless, entirely hands-free set up, just by plugging it into your existing system. These headsets will bring your office into the 21 Century and release you from your desk.
