Today we’re mobile. Our workforce is globally distributed. Deadlines are shorter than ever. We need to make decisions faster. With multiple generations in the workforce, we must accommodate a wide range of behaviors, outlooks, expectations, and work styles. To stay competitive, we need to look beyond commute distance to find the best talent. Embedding collaboration technology into workplace design is critical to the success of any workplace transformation effort. Our activity-based  work spaces must give employees secure, seamless access to the information they need to get their jobs done. But this must also extend beyond the walls of offices so employees can collaborate no matter where they are – at home, at a customer site, inflight at 30,000 feet, or in a hotel room in Japan.

of all CIOs believe mobility will impact business as much as the internet did in the 1990s

Its a win-win

Mobility’s dramatic impact on our personal lives is changing the expectations around how we operate in our work lives. Employers derive at least as much value from remote work as employees do.

Organisations adopting more mobile work styles cite happier, more productive employees and lower costs. Each remote worker has been estimated to produce 240 extra hours of work. That’s 6 additional weeks of work per year.
