Why Small Businesses Matter
It happened so fast. In the blink of an eye, National Small Business week has come and gone. But the challenges of small business owners — managing employee time and budgets, battling ever-changing competition, and riding the waves of the economy — those have not changed.
According to our friends at Entrepreneur:
-
Companies with fewer than 500 employees comprise nearly 50% of all U.S. jobs
-
Over half of all U.S. sales take place in small businesses
-
Small businesses create 16 times more patents per employee than larger firms
Small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy, which is why it is so important they have the tools they need to be successful. And there’s a lot of tools out there. Whether it’s DocuSign to save time on contracts, Trello (a ClickTime office favorite) to manage ideas, or UserTesting to get feedback on how people experience your website, there’s no shortage of technology to help small businesses work efficiently and increase team productivity.
That’s our focus too: planning, managing, and reporting on employee time. Improving project visibility and understanding employee utilization. And of course, helping small businesses make smarter management decisions.
