It’s hard to believe but we’re saying hello to yet another December. While a lot of companies will be working right down to the wire to finish things off before the Christmas and New Year period, others will be reflecting on 2016 and looking towards 2017.

Our line of work has seen us working across numerous industries and with many businesses of all sizes over the years. In our experience, there is no doubt that the right web development solutions, have the power to improve employee performance, satisfaction and retention. After all, we’ve all had those roles we’re we’ve battled to stay on top of our workload simply because a company is hesitant to invest in the solutions we need to kick goals on a day-to-day basis.

When used effectively, technology can maximise a business’ productivity and pave the way for a company to realise its overall goals. Web development solutions ensure your team members have the tools they need to overcome the challenges they face each day when executing various elements of the business’ strategy. In turn, this creates a far more positive working environment where employees are performing better and are more satisfied with the work they’re doing, which leads to higher retention levels.

Any experienced business owner can tell you just how taxing a high staff turnover rate can be for any company. The issue sees companies continually re-training new staff members, particularly during peak periods, and can become a real setback in the longer term. If your business does find itself in this boat, the good news is that the right business productivity software can make all the difference.

The team here at Pronto Woven have put our heads together and listed our top 3 staff-related benefits that come from using effective web development solutions.

#1: People are freed from repetitive and manual tasks

Nothing crushes motivation quicker than having to do the same old boring tasks, day-in, day-out. The right web development solutions for the tasks at hand will help to relieve your team members of such tasks that have the potential to eventually lead to burnout and ultimately, their resignation. Consider this: how long do you think an accountant would last if their job required them to spend 12 hours a day manually entering data into a spreadsheet? Thanks to web-based budget software, the daily manual grind factor is completely eliminated. This is just one example of how technology can be used to boost not only productivity, but staff satisfaction and morale.

#2: Teams become more connected than ever

Isn’t technology a wonderful thing? Thanks to the ability to connect teams virtually within a company, people can work more productively across the organisation thanks to employee portals and team sites. Location isn’t a factor and your team can utilise technology to reach out to other staff members working on similar projects to communicate and seek help when required. As they say, connection is energy and there’s nothing worse in terms of staff morale than team members struggling away on their own.

#3: Increased motivation levels

Technology allows managers to locate performance appraisal information formally online. Not only does this allow managers to communicate Business Strategy more effectively, it enables your team to see the bigger picture and understand how they fit into it all. When managers use what they have on-hand effectively, they’ll be able to compare an employee’s current skills with those required for the team member to improve their own skill-set and to progress. Alternatively, they may learn that a particular staff member’s talents are better suited in another department. At the end of the day, all of this knowledge helps staff to perform better and feel more motivated as they continue to achieve their goals and hit their necessary KPIs.

We’ve only scratched the surface here as to how web development solutions have the potential to improve employee performance, satisfaction and retention. As you can see, they really do have the power to make all the difference not only in terms of business productivity, but also to team morale.
