•White Paper: Designing Mobile Computing Devices That Improve Worker Productivity
By Psion
Providing mobile workers with computing devices that assist them in the field creates great opportunities to improve productivity. To be most effective, mobile computing devices must not only perform the tasks they are required to do, but also be designed to meet the needs, abilities, and limitations of workers and their work environments. It means ergonomics, a scientific discipline that concerns itself with finding the perfect fit between people and their work to improve employee job satisfaction, is a crucial element when designing effective mobile computing devices.
Research findings indicate there is a strong correlation between employee job satisfaction and productivity. Workers who are happier on the job are more likely to demonstrate high productivity. It is therefore important for organizations to maintain high levels of job satisfaction amongst its workforce in order to recognize the maximum productivity potential.
To mobile workers, the tools they are equipped with can make an enormous difference in how they perform their job. If mobile devices are awkward, heavy or hard to use, then morale and productivity will suffer. Businesses must recognize the relationship between workers' job satisfaction and the tools they are equipped with, and hence, make ergonomics a required feature for handheld devices. The following paper outlines the characteristics of an ergonomically designed handheld device that contributes to making mobile workers happier and more productive in their jobs.
