Your employees probably know a lot about technology: leverage that. New technology in the office might seem like a huge investment, but it will pay off tenfold. Your employees will not only be excited to receive a new piece of equipment, but they will also maximize efficiency. New technology means that your workers can accomplish more in a shorter amount of time. In the end, your workers will be happy to be learning more about technology, be utilizing more advanced systems, and producing more for you.

Of course, you want to target your tech purchases. That is, you need to choose technologies that will actually contribute to office productivity, not get in the way. This could mean research: maybe that built-in graphics card won’t work when you add a second monitor. It could mean employee feedback: maybe you survey each team member and find out what tech hangups they’re having. Whatever you do, focus your purchases around needs, NOT bling.
