Must-Have Office Gadgets
Office managers seem to be on an eternal quest to
boost productivity in the workplace. From meetings to specialized teams to a
host of policies, every office seems to have its own way of getting the most
out of an eight-hour workday. Although we might imagine that an overhaul on
tech devices to boost performance would pack a healthy financial punch, there
are a surprising number of small office gadgets that can really make a
difference in the average office. From fun choices to cool, streamlined
machines, these gadgets top our list of must-haves for any office.
Tablets
Led by the ever-popular iPad, tablet computers
have become fixtures of our personal tech belongings. When introduced to an
office environment, the tablet’s portability and multi-functionality comes in
handy for many a task. These devices can be used to record meeting notes, jot
down important information during conference calls, and they can easily be
moved in between locations around the office. The many available business apps
for iPads mean that you can customize your tablet’s performance to your particular
office needs.
iGo Portable Projector
This nifty gadget can project images and
videos that are larger than a big-screen television, all while fitting in the
palm of your hand. Like the tablet, its manageable size makes it infinitely
portable. This small projector is compatible with tablets, Smartphones, and
laptops, meaning that you can pull a few charts from your email and project
them at a board meeting or hold a larger audience captive with photos from your
family ski vacation. Perhaps the best perk of the iGo Portable Projector is
that any space in the office can be transformed into a presentation area; your
team will no longer need to use a conference room for projector access, making
this a perfect choice for small businesses and businesses with small budgets.
Doxie Go
This scanner is small enough to almost qualify
as pocket-sized. A thin strip of a machine, the portable device can clean up on
clutter in your workplace and assist inner-office sharing. Simply feed
documents into this tiny scanner and use your USB connector to sync it to all
of your electronic devices. It works with iPhones and iPads, too, via a handy
wireless card. The Doxie Go is also cordless and wireless, making its
portability even more attractive. It is great for business cards, receipts, and
meeting notes, and for transferring old paper files to digital storage. This
powerful little machine also preps documents for easy transfer to cloud
programs, making it an even smarter choice for the contemporary office.
Monitor Rear-View Mirror
This rather humorous office gadget might come
in handy for those with nosy coworkers. The small mirror can be affixed to the
top of your monitor or laptop screen to give you a view of those behind you. If
you have a boss that likes to sneak up on you or you cannot resist checking
your Facebook and Twitter accounts while on the clock, this device could be a
life-saver.
