Defining the debate
I read a post recently from Brian Tankersly on Multiple Monitors. He was interested to see that the “multi-monitor thing is going much more mainstream.”
Just to note, there’s plenty of research that proves dual displays equate to more productivity. One Fortune 500 account’s call center experienced 45% gain in productivity with dual monitors. Think on that a moment. Folks out there, from gamers to CPAs, acknowledge they get more done, or have more fun, with multiple monitors. And we can even help prove the ROI with our Payback Calculator. So why isn’t the business community talking about it?
I think I know.
I’ve heard department heads tell me, after they’ve seen our products, that they’ll get in trouble, because all of their employees will want one.
Get in trouble for investing less than $500/employee for a product that will pay for itself in as few as two weeks?
Get in trouble for increasing employee productivity?
Get in trouble for improving employee morale and providing workplace wellness?
Yup, I think that’s it. Am I right? Or is there more to the story. Is it safer to stay with the status quo or to actually empower a workforce to get more things done, and actually feel good when they are done?
