Employees Innovate with Disruptive Technology

Today’s workforce is more agile and mobile than it has ever been. The way we work has also changed rapidly in today’s digital economy. Teleworking has become a fairly accepted practice.  This is due to advances in internet access, technology and collaborative tools such as video conferencing.

However, teleworking has not always been a savoured work environment. In 2013, former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer unleashed a titanic of controversy when she decreed that employees from Yahoo will no longer be able to work from home.  Ever since then, managers to CEOs have debated whether working from home boosts employee productive or not. Hoping to put this to rest, Nicholas Bloom, a professor from Stanford University recently published his research.  Based on data from a two year study it shows a significant productivity boost from working from home.

“Work-from-home employees work a true full-shift (or more) versus being late to the office or leaving early multiple times a week and found it less distracting and easier to concentrate at home…. Oh, and by the way, the company saved almost $2,000 per employee on rent by reducing the amount of HQ office space. “

Innovative Tools Enhance Productivity

Whether working from home, on the road, or in an office, having the right tools are essential for employee effectiveness. Kensington  are leaders in innovative disruptive tools to enhance productivity .  The latest is the SD2000P.

Additionally the SD2000P offers connectivity to a single external monitor/TV or project through a HDMI (4K@30Hz) or Display Port (4K@30Hz).  The dock can be mounted to the back of any 75mm or 100mm VESA compatible external display (K33959WW mounting plate sold separately).
