HEADSETS have traditionally been used by telemarketers and online gamers. But more companies here, like home-grown technology start-up Light10 Industries, are starting to use headsets in the office instead of just relying on desk phones.
The reason? The headsets increase productivity by helping employees be more efficient because the devices free their hands from holding on to the phones. Global headset companies told my paper that they expect more corporations in Singapore to use headsets in the future.
Danish firm GN Netcom, which markets the Jabra brand of headsets, said its base of corporate customers here has more than doubled in the first quarter of this year, compared to the same period last year. It expects the number to continue rising.
