David RichardsNokia believes true mobile working should be extended down the organisational chart. A new study, Myths of Mobility, says employees in the office may spend more than a third of their time away from their desks.
“While corner office executives may have access to mobile e-mail, more than half your workforce uses mobile technology to some extent or other for work,” the report says. “There is a need for mobile technology in business.
Organisations can support this level of mobility in a cost-effective, secure and easily deployed manner.
“Misconceptions abound about what can and can’t be achieved. The report aims to educate businesses about these misperceptions and inspire them to investigate the issues around enabling workforce mobility.”
“Many decision makers believe that mobility is not cost-effective, not secure, and is a nightmare to manage. These notions are based on assumptions from fragmented sources and second-hand comments, and we hope to help clarify today’s mobile landscape with this report,” says Mathia Nalappan, Nokia’s VP, Asia Pacific.
“Customers are reaping the benefits of mobility, seeing return on their investments, an increase in productivity, and improved employee morale.”
