Your Staff and the New Technology
If your office has just upgraded to Broadband internet or a digital security system you and your staff may be due for a little technology tutoring. Before you haul everyone off to a ropes course or teambuilding lodge, consider these resources:
Local Professors: Most medium sized town have universities or community colleges where professors specifically teach technology tactics to adults. Sign your staff up for a class or hire a professor to come in and work with you one on one – it’s worth it.
Geek Squad: Geek Squad and other similar services are unique in that they’ll come to your office and teach you and your staff for a set price. Before they arrive be sure you set aside a list of questions and things you want to learn to streamline the process.
Software and the Web: There are tons of online resources for learning certain applications (like Excel) so ask your staff to complete a few courses if you really think it’s necessary. That will ensure everyone’s on the same page about how to use the office technology.
