Mobility and Workforce Productivity: A Trend You Simply Can’t Afford to Overlook!

Employees in today’s corporate world are constantly on the go, equipped with mobile devices that aid them in accomplishing their daily work-related objectives, anytime and anywhere!

Having eliminated location barriers and the limitations of the classical office workstation, through the widespread use of mobile devices, employees across most organization are now able to experience 100% mobility and complete their work with a high degree of flexibility.

With emerging, state of the art mobile technologies being developed, the trend towards a completely mobile world is growing exponentially on a daily basis.

A recent report by Quocirca suggests that by 2025, more than sixty percent of the workforce, largely millennial, will be mobile, and one of their top priorities will be increasing workforce productivity!

In the context of employees in today’s workforce, user productivity has already begun to drastically increase, as workers are now able to access resources and work on their tasks from a variety of locations, and at any time, so long as they are able to link to a network connection.

Enabling enterprise mobility leads to a 30 percent increase in process efficiency, a nearly 25 rise in workforce productivity, along with an astounding 100 percent employee satisfaction score.

Now let’s take a practical look at how enterprise mobility can impact your business and employees!

Enterprise Mobility: How does It really benefit your Business and Workforce?

In addition to promoting work completion from anytime and anywhere, enhanced mobility has enabled many organizations to automate and transform business processes that previously were causes for bottlenecks and reduced process efficiency.

Take the example of a process common to almost every enterprise, employee performance evaluation.  Mobile software vendors have developed transformational applications that enable streamlined, efficient performance appraisals, using innovative software functionalities!

Busy supervisors and managers who are on the go can easily use such technologies to review performance indicators, objectives, and overall progression, all from the comfort of their mobile devices!

This allows for the opening up of bottlenecks, and limits the holdups in appraisal workflows, common to most organizations!

Mobility allows employees to work where they want, when they want, and on whatever they want!

Undoubtedly, this offers employees the ability to maximize their productivity like never before!

With such a significant degree of flexibility, employees are not tied to their physical office workstations when needing to complete work.

Consider the example of a sales person who happens to be a few hours late to work due to significant delays along the train tracks.

With enterprise mobility enabled, the employee can simply log-on to his workstation remotely through his smart phone or laptop, begin making calls, obtaining approvals from senior managers, and closing business deals, all from the comfort of his window seat on the train!

Printing in the Mobile-driven world

As the number of organizations approving and implementing enterprise mobility increases exponentially, certain challenges will definitely come into play!

With printing being a pivotal part of day to day business across most firms, and enhanced mobility offering workers the flexibility to work at all hours of the day and night, from remote locations as well as onsite offices, companies should definitely look for enterprise mobile printing solutions that enable seamless printing from any of the devices that users are working on.

Enterprises should ensure that the mobile printing solution they adopt promotes transformation of the enterprise workflow, enhanced productivity, and protection against possible security risks.
