Today’s fast-paced hectic scheduled life is entirely dependent upon technology. We have come to that era, where we cannot think without the use of technology as it is either directly or indirectly intertwined in our daily lives. Enhancements of technology give access to human to get information about the world and teach how to improve in every field of life. Technology has made our work easy, accessible and productive. The face of business is rapidly and constantly changing with the extensive use of technology. Now, businesses are relying on technologically enhanced tools and gadgets to maximize the productivity of employees. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are constantly looking for new technology to create a workforce that is more productive, more efficient, and more innovative. Media, internet, Google, mobile and many other technologies are some most precious gems in human lives. Technology has gifted social media as an amazing platform for business promotion. Few ways how technology has helped us become more productive are as follows:

• Connect dispersed workforce:

More and more companies are giving opportunities to employees to work from home. Meetings can be possible, even if you are not physically present. An example can be meetings held over Skype and other similar apps. Hiring managers can find well-qualified candidate on internet. Productive employees need instant access to business information, data, and their team. Mobile-friendly technologies are fulfilling this need.

• Enhanced Communication:

Many a times, regular business meetings turn out to be a waste of time. Conferences with potential partners or clients can also be conducted online with video software, which reduces the need to brave through the huge traffic. At present, many companies are replacing their face-to-face sessions with virtual platforms where they can communicate and collaborate with employees. G-Suite and Slack are among the many useful programs that connect team members even when they aren’t in the same room.

• Getting Organized:

A lot of time can be wasted searching through spreadsheets for information stored in large data sets, some of which are only accessible via desktop. Investing in a database system allows your staff to easily add and access data. For example, a cloud-based time tracking software such as ClickTime allows employers to track employees working outside office regarding their working hours, mileage, and expenses, all in one place. Tracking such stuffs records critical information, thereby enhancing productivity.

• Better Business Promotion:

There are a number of technological tools that are used to track the improvement of a business. For example, managers can monitor employees and can easily keep on checking and comparing the sale made by a business within the specified time period. With the help of technologies, it is easier to find out the reasons of any reduction in sales or locate any problems. On the other hand, through various social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. business reaches out to many employees and clients at the same time. This increase the revenue generated and advertising costs reduced. Technology, thus, has helped us become more efficient and productive than ever before in history.
