Mobile workers work longer hours and claim greater productivity because of their connectivity, the challenge for organizations is how to harness this productivity without added costs and security concerns

› To ensure secure global connections for heavy travelers, invest in a Wi-Fi

connectivity solution that also reduces international data roaming costs for the company.

› Working remotely is considered productive work, and is viewed as both a right and a necessity by mobile workers. Encourage your company’s policy makers to expand this practice.

› Provide your mobile workers with services and guides on working efficiently while at remote locations (e.g., “How to find the best Wi-Fi connection” or “How to find work-life balance.”)

› Give employees more control over their work schedule. A flexible work arrangement can increase your employees’ sense of control over when, where, and how they work, which is likely to enhance their well-being and productivity.

Be well connected

Mobile workers show a willingness to mix and match work and personal access from work and personal devices- this impacts organizations in how they set up and manage remote access policies:

› Encourage a BYOD policy. Mobile employees work more hours and are inclined to use their own devices. IT can take steps to offer a formalized BYOD policy, which may put more workers into the category of mobile employees with various IT-sponsored choices.

› The primary responsibility of IT is to maximize the secure and productive use of computing and telecommunications assets within the company. Make sure the term “productive use” is to a large part defined by the user.

› IT should review which applications users want for work operations on their devices that don’t perform adequately. Optimizing the use of these critical apps on mobile devices will increase worker productivity.
