Providing a slow computer or troubling computer to staff member could lead to an unproductive working environment.
As a business owner and decision maker, we look for cheaper deals on computers from many different sources. It could be from a local retail store, whole discounted warehouse, or online shopping site. It might be cheaper purchasing from your IT vendor or MSP’s recommended computers. But is it really worth purchasing low end computers to have few hundred dollars to save the day? In a long run you will be loosing productivity.
“National wide research shows that 40% of staff member stress is caused from “Computer” issue: computer being slow, it is not working, or in maintenance. “
Let’s look at this way: Tom’s hourly pay is $18, and he works 40 hours a week all year along. But every week his computer has issue and looses 1 hour of work due to computer running slow. This means he is loosing 52 hours in one year of his working hour due to computer issue. If we calculate this in to his pay: (52 hours) x $18 = $936 of unproductive pay. what if you have 10 staff having same issue… That is $9,360 of unproductive pay, and possible overtime pay to recover lost time.
The 3 main causes of the stress, “computer being slow”, “it is not working”, and “in maintenance”. This could have been avoided, if the decision was made when purchasing a better computer.
