In an increasingly digital world, it’s important for the HR department to keep up with the changing business and technology landscape. Devices As A Service (DaaS) is a concept which can help HR managers stay ahead of the curve when it comes to leveraging modern technologies for improved recruitment, employee satisfaction and workplace productivity. With DaaS, companies get access to devices such as desktop computers, laptops and tablets without the need of purchasing them outright or servicing them internally. This article will offer insights into how this service can help HR departments benefit from this type of set-up.
Solving common HR challenges with Device As A Service
From recruiting and retaining top talent to managing employee data and payroll, the demands on HR are constantly evolving. One solution that is gaining popularity is DaaS. By providing a comprehensive suite of devices, software, and support, DaaS can help HR departments overcome common challenges related to technology.
Whether it’s streamlining administrative tasks or ensuring employees have access to the latest tools and applications, DaaS is quickly becoming a go-to option for HR professionals seeking to improve efficiency and productivity. With the right provider, this solution can help businesses of all sizes stay ahead of the curve and focus on what really matters – their people.
How HR Managers can benefit from Device As A Serice
Choosing the right devices for every job role
In today's fast-paced business world, ensuring that the right devices are in the hands of the right people is critical for success. Whether it's a smartphone or a powerful workstation, underspecified or unmanageable devices can cause significant delays, lead to substandard work and create a poor first impression for new employees joining the company.
Recruiting new employees can be an expensive venture for any organisation, with the average cost standing at £6,125, and this figure jumps to £19,000 for more senior roles, according to the CIPD. With such a significant investment in place, it is disappointing to learn that 28% of new employees quit within just three months of joining a company. First impressions are crucial, and one-way organisations can make a positive impact is by providing the latest IT equipment that is ready to use. In today's fast-paced market, delivering the right equipment should be considered a fundamental aspect of onboarding new employees.
At RND-IT, we understand that each user has unique requirements, so we offer a wide range of devices. Our team of professionals has the expertise to guide you in selecting the most cost-efficient, productivity-boosting solutions for your business. We partner with the most reputable device brands, so you can trust that we'll deliver success. Let us help you choose the right equipment for your team and take your business to the next level.
Setting up and configuring new devices
As technology advances, manually enrolling and configuring devices has become outdated. IT teams should not waste time manually setting up each device, and employees should not have to wait around for their devices to be configured upon arrival to the company. However, it is still common for businesses to lack visibility of their assets and for employees to struggle with incorrect access or licensing. Streamlining device configuration and deployment can help alleviate these problems and allow IT teams to focus on more pressing tasks.
At RND-IT, we understand the challenges of manual device enrollment and configuration and offer a comprehensive Modern Desktop Solution that streamlines onboarding and offboarding. Our custom setup, branding, and security configurations ensure your employees have the appropriate levels of access and credentials they need to be productive. New Starter packs provide software enrolment and access management, allowing businesses to get up and running quickly. Our solution is designed to enhance employee satisfaction whilst improving the overall procurement process, enabling businesses to focus on core tasks.
Auditing and updating legacy systems
Running legacy applications can have a detrimental effect on your employee's productivity and your bottom line. Outdated hardware and software often work at slower speeds, causing delays and frustration for employees trying to complete tasks efficiently. Additionally, running obsolete technology may cost more in the long run, leading to increased expenses and lower profitability.
Maintenance can also become a challenge, as there may be limited support and resources available for legacy systems. Ultimately, businesses must assess their technology infrastructure regularly and make upgrades as necessary to remain competitive in today's fast-paced market. At RND-IT, we understand the importance of having a reliable and secure device infrastructure. That's why we have a team of experts who conduct comprehensive assessments of your end-user devices.
Our DaaS End User Device Infrastructure Assessment examines your desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices to identify any weaknesses, vulnerabilities, or areas for improvement. Through our hardware, software, security, and user experience assessments, we ensure outstanding device performance, safety, and compliance. Our detailed report with recommendations and a plan to address any issues or concerns provide peace of mind that your end-user devices are optimized for productivity, security, and compliance.
Supporting IT issues on a day-to-day basis
In any business environment, user problems with logins, passwords, access and hardware failures can significantly hinder productivity. Not only can these issues cause frustration for employees, but they can also lead to costly downtime and lost opportunities for the business. Any organisation must have a reliable and efficient technical support and device management system. With the right service level agreements in place and access to spare devices, your staff members can quickly get back online and continue working, minimising any disruption to the business.
At RND-IT, we understand that technical issues can emerge at any hour, and they can threaten to slow down your business operations. That's why we offer a comprehensive technical support service, covering all levels of issues that you may face. Our team of experts is available round-the-clock to help you resolve various problems, from login issues to hardware failures. We understand that every organisation has unique needs, so we offer flexible support options customised to meet your specific requirements. Whether you prefer phone, email, or remote assistance, we've got you covered.
Getting devices from leavers to new starters
In today's competitive business world, having happy employees is imperative for any company. One of the key factors determining an employee's happiness is their start in the company. If the employee receives a negative start or a poor experience, this can reflect poorly on the business and even lead to higher attrition rates. To make matters worse, many employees' main interface with the company is through their IT equipment.
At RND-IT, we understand that employee transitions can be a source of stress for any business. That's why we offer our Starter & Leaver Services to ensure a seamless and secure transition for all employees. Our team works closely with your IT, HR, and People Teams to provide new hires with the necessary device configurations, training, and software installations, eliminating any frustration and delays.
On the other hand, departing employees can rest assured that their data is secure, with our secure data erasure and termination of company device access. Furthermore, we even help conserve your costs by reconditioning, repackaging, and reimagining old devices, making them available for new starters. Trust RND-IT to provide a professional, effective solution to all your employee transition needs.
Safely and securely disposing of old equipment
As technology rapidly evolves, many organisations frequently upgrade their IT assets. However, with this significant change comes the challenge of disposing of the old equipment. As a business, ensuring data security and taking environmental responsibilities seriously is crucial. Choosing the right partner who can assist in dealing with these assets effectively and responsibly is vital.
At RND-IT, we take environmental protection seriously, and that's why we provide a complete recycling solution that ensures your valuable data and the environment are protected. Hazardous materials in electronic devices can harm the environment. Still, when you recycle with us, you can trust that these materials will be disposed of safely, reducing the negative environmental impact.
Furthermore, we understand that your personal and business data is essential and needs to be protected. That's why we offer a device recycling programme that is easy and convenient, which also happens to be streamlined through our partnership with an ADISA Level 8 organisation. We believe that sustainability should not come at a financial loss to your organisation – that's why we deliver back cost-savings to our clients through our End-of-Life remarketing services or donate the money to our chosen charities.
