The whole purpose of technology is to help people do their work faster and more efficiently. It SHOULD be the case that, over time, your employees are able to do more work with less people or noticeably improve in their job performance. But too often, employee workflows have not been optimized in years, even though technology has evolved substantially.
Your Largest Business Expenses-
Since payroll is one of a businesses’ largest expenses (often more than $100,000 per month), improving productivity by even a few percentage points is well worth doing.
In most cases when we start with new clients, technology is not having the impact on company performance that it should be.
In almost every case, this is due to 2 primary reasons:
1. Previous technical personnel were stuck in a pattern of fixing things “back to normal” without assessing whether or not “normal” is the best way to do the job
2. Previous technical personnel weren’t aware of the outcome employees were aiming for and so they treated every problem with the same priority in regard to time and resources spent.
TekMate knows that every business has some parts of its operations that are far more critical to its performance than others and that focusing our efforts on optimizing those areas can have much greater impact on company performance than non-critical business areas.
Technicians are tech people and don’t naturally take an interest in understanding business. TekMate goes to great lengths to make sure our whole team from front desk to management is clear on the areas that carry the most weight in your business, which makes us much more successful in impacting business performance over time. We know from experience that impacting payroll cost by optimizing employee workflows can offset the cost of our service, which makes for highly satisfying customer relationships.
