Puppy and functional calculator Technology that works, lowers the stress level

The technology fails, employees are frustrated and stressed out. How important it is for your well-being and productivity is that computers work smoothly, shows an Experiment of Dell Technologies.

Hardly anything annoys employees like outdated Computer that slow down the flow of work through a lame Performance, and a lot of mistakes. Nevertheless, do without company for cost reasons, often on a regular renewal of equipment and take frustrated employees, and lost productivity in the time of purchase. The conclusion that a better technology with a view to motivating more employees and better work results should be actually obvious.

An Experiment of Dell Technologies from the past year, as evidenced by the work and welfare of employees of obsolete and error-prone technique of suffering and the positive effects that can smoothly trigger the functioning of devices. In cooperation with Emotiva bioinformatics specialist, the mobile EEG Headsets (electroencephalography) and applications for the analysis of brain activities with the help of Machine Learning developed, examined the Dell Technologies, the reactions of some 30 participants on good and bad work experiences on computers.

This showed that the completion of a task was not twice as stressful, if the technology was in. The transition to a modern working device, however, the stress level dropped significantly and employees were significantly more productive. You were able to do the tasks much faster and per hour of work nearly 23 minutes to save – in the case of a 40-hour week, the 15 hours would be.

Login problems and loss of data, ensure a high level of Frustration

For the Experiment, the participants were between 19 and 58 years old and different levels of computer knowledge brought with them, some challenging tasks to a “bad”, then a “good” computer to do had to. The bad prevent you with a low Performance, a complicated Login, as well as, typical workplace problems, such as the failure of the Internet connection and data loss when you Save a file on the liquid to Work and in order to Achieve the financial reward for Doing as many tasks.

Across all age groups, the productivity was at the old and error-prone computers is significantly below the current, error-free running systems. The difference is particularly apparent in the case of participants under the age of 26 was delivered with modern appliances and better results than the older participants were using outdated technology, but not even half as productive as this.

In addition, the investigation revealed that employees with great Computer experience with poor IT equipment to operate at a similar performance level as employees with little computer experience. Only with modern technology you can use your Expertise and offer more than inexperienced colleagues.
