Is Your Business Losing Money Because Employees Can't Use Tech?
Shiny new tech can be exciting! It promises increased efficiency, happier employees, and a competitive edge. It’s also necessary to stay competitive in today’s technology-driven business world.
But that promise can turn into a financial nightmare if you neglect two important things: employee training and change management. You can end up losing money simply because employees can’t use their technology.
When employees have trouble using their business tools, productivity drops. Mistakes are made, and customer service suffers. Read on for common staff technology issues and solutions.
Lack of Technology Training
Imagine investing in a top-of-the-line CRM system. Then you see your sales team floundering instead of excelling. You expected the CRM to make their jobs easier. But they can't find key features, struggle with data entry, and miss deadlines.
Why? Because they haven't been properly trained on the new software. This scenario plays out in countless businesses, leading to significant costs.
Lost Productivity
Employees fumbling with unfamiliar tech lose valuable work time. Imagine the lost sales opportunities if your team can't process orders or generate reports due to inadequate training on the new CRM (TechRepublic).
Costly Errors
Confusion and frustration lead to mistakes. Inaccurate data entered into the new system requires time and money to fix. This impacts budgets and potentially damages client relationships (Gartner).
Demotivation and Resistance
Struggling with a new system is demoralizing. Untrained employees might resist using it altogether, clinging to outdated (but familiar) methods. This hinders adoption and negates the benefits of the new tech (Forbes).
Failing to Manage the Change
New technology disrupts workflows. Without proper change management, employees feel overwhelmed and insecure. Change management addresses the “human” side of change. It’s about helping employees understand why things are changing, providing training, support, and engagement to help them transition successfully.
Organizations using change management are 67% more likely to achieve desired project outcomes (Prosci).
When companies neglect change management, the following can happen.
Low Morale
Change can be stressful. Employees can feel lost and undervalued, especially due to a lack of clear communication and support during the transition. This can lead to low morale and a negative work environment (SHRM).
Shadow IT
Employees may feel the new system isn't meeting their needs, causing them to resort to using unauthorized tools (shadow IT). This creates security risks and undermines the investment in the new technology (CIO).
Resistance to Future Improvements
A negative experience with a tech rollout can make employees wary of future changes. This can hinder innovation and make it difficult for the company to adapt to evolving market trends. Without change management, employees tend to get “change fatigue,” making them less productive (Harvard Business Review).
Building a Bridge to Success
The key to unlocking the true value of new technology lies in effective training and change management. Here's how to avoid the negative costs and get the full benefits from your tech.
Invest in Comprehensive Training
Don't treat training as an afterthought. Yes, some tools say they’re easy to use, but people have different tech literacy levels. Some may pick up things quickly, but many don’t. There’s no replacement for targeted training on a business application.
Develop a tailored training program that goes beyond basic features. Include video tutorials, hands-on workshops, and ongoing support resources. This helps everyone feel comfortable using the new tools (TechTarget).
Focus on User Adoption, Not Just Features
Training shouldn't just explain how the software works. It should focus on how the new system will benefit employees in their daily tasks and improve workflow efficiency. If employees don’t adopt the tech well, you don’t see its full benefits (Microsoft).
Embrace Change Management
Communicate the "why" behind the change. Explain how the new technology will make everyone's jobs easier and ultimately benefit the company as a whole. Encourage open communication and address concerns throughout the transition (Change Management Institute).
The Takeaway
New technology is a powerful tool, but it's only as valuable as its users. Prioritize employee training and change management. This will help you bridge the gap between a shiny new system and a real return on investment.
Happy, well-trained employees using the right tools are your secret weapon. They can help you maximize efficiency, boost morale, and stay ahead of the curve. Don't let a lack of training turn your tech upgrade into a financial drain.

"CMIT has given me peace of mind in my business by providing me with ongoing protection, monitoring and an invaluable resource of providing technical help 24/7 if needed.

Swiss Learning Center
"CMIT sent Leslie out to deal with my computer issue - which she handled so fast I can't remember now what it was! Leslie was patient, informative, and engaged me with confidence and relief. She did not talk down to me as if I didn't have a modicum of sense - electronically - but instead was in a teaching mode. I'm so glad to know I can call CMIT whenever I have a problem and allay my fear!"

"Every business NEEDS Carmen and Jaime with CMIT Solutions. They have taken my business to the next level and I am so grateful to have them on our team. It's like having our own personal IT department. We are more productive, more professional, and ready to worry about things other than IT. As a construction company - it is not in our wheelhouse to manage this side of the business and as a small business it's not super easy to know who to contact. They are affordable and knowledgeable and can easily take any business to where they envision. They come with my highest recommendation."
