Truth, tools, and realities IT managers, HR professionals and decision makers need, in our digital-driven world.

Productivity, performance, security, mobility and the end-to-end competitiveness are henceforth, the top priorities for IT managers, Human Resource professionals and decision makers need, to generate new revenues, and deal with our disruptive world.

This also means that, to better attract, retain, support and motivate the global workforce now and in the future, companies should be conscious of that:  

Constant connectivity is blurring the lines between professional and personal lives and devices. Employees have more and more seamless access to data when at the office, at home and on the road. 

Employees are using multiple devices; employees conduct work in different locations, the office still is the primary place of work; they are frequently interrupted; employees wear headphones in the office; employees still frequently IM or email colleagues who are located physically near them, rather than talking with them directly. 

People have increasing flexibility to choose when and where they meet their professional obligations; they check work email after hours; employees use personal technology for work more frequently; take work technology home for personal purposes.

Employees need better technology that helps them be more productive; voice recognition will be used instead of the keyboard; tablets will replace laptops; keyboards and mice will be obsolete; desktop virtualization is now a priority.

Business leaders, IT managers and human resource professionals should focus on their employees’ diverse needs and provide the right environments and technology to enable them to do their best work.
