Business Use Of Touch Typist

Learning to touch type is a skill which can improve the productivity of an individual and as a result, of any company. There are many good reasons for learning to type properly, the main benefits of teaching employees to type are:

    • An employee who can type will work more efficiently, making the work day more productive. The cost of training an employee is miniscule compared with the cost and efficiency benefits which can be gained over the weeks, months or years.

    • Employers have a duty to provide training for equipment they provide, this includes computer keyboards. Failure to provide this training can result in employees developing Repetitive Strain Injuries as a result of two finger or other incorrect typing techniques.

    • Any company which provides computer keyboards for use by employees has a duty to provide training to ensure that they are used correctly. Misuse of keyboards with incorrect typing techniques can lead to employees suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury. If an employee has not been given training on equipment provided for their use then they may use this as a basis for a compensation claim for an industrial injury. Providing keyboard training to employees can be used as a defence against these types of claims.

Learning to type is a skill which can be learnt in bite sized time slots between normal work. By keeping the Touch Typist software minimised on the desktop, the lessons, which can be completed in under 30 seconds, can be completed between other work tasks. This approach to learning to type makes productive use of small amounts of time which would ordinarily be wasted.
