Many people find TVs essential in the home, but what about in the office? Some people might think that having a TV present in an office environment will create a distraction for employees, preventing them from doing any work. Still, there are numerous work-related advantages to having a TV in the office.
When you look around, you see that TVs are present in so many work environments, like waiting rooms, break rooms, lobbies and service halls, so why not the office? Whether you use it for free channels, streaming services or just as a tool for displaying relevant work information, a TV can help boost morale and get employees engaged in their work.
Here are just some of the reasons why having a TV in the office can be beneficial, and how you can decide on the right one.
Keep Employees Informed
People love to stay informed about the latest news stories and goings-on in the world. The TV could sit in the corner of your office and play the news channel. When kept at a minimal volume or on mute (with subtitles), you can keep your employees informed about current affairs without distraction.
This does two things. First, it keeps your employees informed and connected, allowing them to stay up to date with things that might affect your business and the industry you work in. Second, when big news stories and talking points are happening, employees will to want to know what’s going on, especially if it’s something important to them. They will likely be keeping up with the story regardless on their phones or sneakily on their computer screens. So, you might as well embrace their curiosity by having the news on in the background.
By letting the news play in your office throughout the day, there will be fewer distractions and disturbances when a breaking news story hits. Because they will already be informed with what’s happening while they get on with work.
Use as an Informational Tool
TVs aren’t just for playing broadcasts or streaming; they can be used just like a whiteboard or a billboard. Rather than waste time printing out advertisements or internal communications, use a TV screen to get the word out. Teams and departments within the office can use the TV screen to display their progress, celebrate hitting milestones or announce any upcoming events like birthdays or anniversaries. This all contributes to your workplace morale.
Provide Background Noise
For most people, complete silence can be detrimental to a working environment, as it creates a tense atmosphere that can disrupt concentration. A TV can provide the perfect background noise to a quiet office. Whether it’s music, the news or some daytime TV show, when kept at a low, non-intrusive volume, the gentle background noise of a TV can boost worker productivity.
A Great Tool for Meetings
A TV screen can liven up any office meeting by providing a visual tool for PowerPoints, documents or demonstrating ideas. You can connect virtually any laptop or computer to a TV screen (with wires or remotely) and display your ideas and notes to the whole team so everyone can see. Much better than having to send things out to everyone’s individual computer screen.
TVs can also be an excellent tool for virtual meetings, able to cast the likes of Zoom to their screens so you can see your whole team working from home in stunning high definition.
How To Pick the Right TV for the Office
If you’ve decided that you like the idea of installing a TV in your office, the next question to answer is what kind of TV to pick. There are several things to take into consideration:
Display
You need to decide whether you’re happy with an HD TV or if you think you’d like to splash out on an amazing 4K TV that will provide truly incredible resolution. Don’t skimp on low-quality TVs that will leave a bad impression. Take a look at our range of Samsung 4K TVs or Cheap 4K TVs to find TVs with great display resolutions.
Sound
If you want a TV to play the news or other programmes during the day, you need a model with excellent sound quality so it can be heard throughout the office, and not just by those sat right beside it. But if you wish to use it for silently displaying information, the sound quality might not be something you need to think about too much.
Screen size
TVs come in so many sizes, from small 15” inch screens to giant 75” inch screens. You should check how big your screen needs to be so it can display information or programmes, without being so obstructive by taking up too much space in the office. Check out our guide on how to pick the right kind of TV size.
Connectivity
Your TV will likely need to be able to connect to computers or laptops and will need the right kind of connection ports or remote casting capabilities. Fortunately, virtually every TV will have the likes of HDMI ports, but you will also need to ensure that the placement of your TV won’t prevent you from being able to connect devices to the TV.
