All Jabra headsets are designed to make the most of the many documented benefits of hand-free headset design. This ensures that your investment is recouped as quickly as possible.
Here are some the key areas where we make a measurable economic difference:
- increased productivity
- fewer sick days
- reduced employee turnover
- reduced downtime due to broken equipment
Let’s look at some recent statistics.
Increased productivity
Mobility through the use of a wireless headset lets people walk-and-talk. No more missed calls, less wasted effort. A study commissioned by GN Netcom from E-Media in April 2008 revealed that only 16% of all office workers actually spend all of their working hours in the office. 75% work away from their desks and more than 60% of those interviewed felt that a wireless headset would positively impact their productivity.
Fewer sick days
Fewer sick days is a critical factor, too. Most neck and back pain comes from cradling a phone handset between the head and shoulder. This leaves both hands free to type, write, leaf through papers, etc.
Studies show that 8 out of 10 employees are on the phone for at least 2 hours every day – some for as many as 4-8 hours. So, it’s not surprising that a hands-free headset from Jabra can help significantly reduce a major health problem in modern contact centers and offices. A Swedish study shows that a full 26% of respondents claimed that their neck and back pains “totally disappeared” after switching to a headset.
Reduced employee turnover
What does it cost to recruit and train a new employee? You do the math. Jabra increases employee satisfaction by providing better communications tools. Younger staff have stated in interviews that they prefer the added comfort and mobility of a wireless headset.
Reduced downtime
Reduced downtime depends on robust construction and it takes more than an inexpensive hobby headset to meet the needs of demanding customers like three-shift contact centers. That is why our professional Jabra headset Jabra BIZ™ 2400 Series features ultra-strong Kevlar-reinforced cords, boom arms that allow full 360º rotation, and key metal parts made of surgical steel.
