For as long as I can remember my mother has had a television in her office. It doesn’t seem to affect her productivity one bit and her clients seem to love catching up on world events and even their latest soap operas while they wait for her to attend to them. The older I get the more I seem to gravitate toward places of employment that have television sets in the work place. I think they make both workers and clients a tad more relaxed and they always provide excellent ice breakers. Imagine being stuck in an office lobby waiting for the receptionist to show you into an office for a private meeting, instead of awkwardly staring at each other while you wait, you can turn your attention to the television quietly playing in the background and bond over whatever issue is being discussed on the telly. Now that would make you really grateful for the genius behind the direct TV for lobby idea, wouldn’t it?
In my opinion, every business should consider setting up a television in the office and with the satellite options available today, it’s not as hard as it sounds. Hospitals get two big thumbs up for leading the way in using television as a means of distracting patients from their pain. Direct TV for hospitals provides a wide range of programs that hospitals can choose from that are family friendly. You know how annoyingly long the lines in the waiting rooms are but you won’t believe how fast the time passes when you are too engrossed in a TV show.
