With so much work today taking place on a computer, it is more important than ever to know how to work well with computers and other tech. Take a look at your workplace and consider whether there are areas where some adjustments could boost productivity.
Effective IT support
No matter how industriously your team works, it will be hard to maintain productivity if you have problems with your IT. A good IT team will be able to act quickly to fix any bugs or glitches with your system, as well as be ready to update and upgrade systems and software.
If you do not have an in-house team, consider outsourcing IT to gain access to IT expertise. You can find managed IT services with an internet search for your area. For example, ‘managed IT support in Worcester’ will give you results like www.majestecltd.co.uk/managed-it-support/worcester/.
Some fast tips
Often, IT issues that slow down productivity aren’t major problems, but lots of minor ones that a shortcut can solve. Accidentally closing a tab you need takes time to resolve, as you have to scroll through bookmarks or searches to find it again. But, did you know that simply by pressing CTRL, SHIFT, and T, you can instantly reopen the last tab?
If you need emojis quickly, pressing WIN and . or ; will bring up your emoji keyboard, while CTRL and Z will undo your last action.
If you need to protect your screen quickly, WIN and D will minimise all your windows at once, while WIN and L will lock your computer.
