Typing tests

A typing test is a great way to assess an individual's typing speed, accuracy and word per minute (WPM) count. Typing tests can confirm an employee's skills and result in less time wasted in the workplace as well as reduced employee fatigue, improved focus and increased productivity.

There are many benefits that come from a typing test, one being that when one can type quickly and accurately there is an increase of productivity. Typing is an important skill for anyone who works with a computer; the more comfortable an employee is with a keyboard, the more efficiently they will be able to carry out the functions of their role.
