Durable Laptops for a Mobile Office

By Allyson Westcot


A mobile workforce with rugged technology is freed from the office and the desk, and it could also help company productivity, client satisfaction and the overall bottom line.

The price of training new employees can be lessened because a mobile workforce not tied to the office may have better morale, and feel more valued than if they must be there during a specific time with managers all around them. A workforce that feels valued and appreciated more will typically stay more content with the job and look for other jobs less often. There's also less worry about staff calling in sick and missing work days.

A mobile workforce that works more time out of the office than in it will probably need rugged computers to work with. While this is more expensive, generally, than standard desktops and notebooks, that cost can easily be offset by trying things like smaller office spaces and electricity usage, and even options like government benefits from encouraging less travel and commuting.

So much good springs from a work force that feels valued, it can be hard to figure up all of the various ways a company will benefit. But workers who feel happier about their jobs generally work hard to do an even better job, so productiveness can go up when workers get notebooks and are able to telecommute or remotely in some way.

Using notebooks to allow workers to stay at home or work remotely might appear to some companies like letting workers run amok. There could be worry that the absence of supervision will cause employees to slack off and do a poorer job. But the truth of the matter is that if you hire the best workers you'll be able to find and treat them with respect, giving them the ability to do their tasks in a less rigid way, their higher morale will translate into a better working environment, lower costs and better client satisfaction.
