Here is our weekly tech tips video about – Two-thirds of remote workers are using faulty tech
When was the last time you checked with your remote staff about the state of their home tech? A new report says two-thirds of remote workers have faulty devices they haven’t reported to their boss.
Laptops are the most likely to break followed by keyboards, monitors and PCs. Most damage is done by food and drink spillages. It’s playing havoc with their productivity. So why don’t they report it?
Because they’re scared of getting into trouble. Four out of five people continue to use their device if only a few features are affected. A third will swap to their personal device instead.
This is a problem, as it opens up your business data to new security risks. Personal tech might not have all the security measures a work device would.
We suggest you make it a golden rule that all work must be done on company-issued devices. And create a culture where it’s OK if a device gets damaged, so long as it’s reported quickly.

“Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Systems to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.
Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.
He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.
Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
