Employees are the first to understand the benefits of adopting mobile work processes. They know how beneficial flexibility in the workplace is for work-life balance and health. However, it is the managers who need to be convinced to take this step forward.

Teleworking and business mobility are still not convincing managers.

According to a study by Oracle, managers are the least enthusiastic about implementing teleworking in companies, and they are even less enthusiastic about the use of mobile devices in all aspects of work. Employees, on the other hand, say they are more comfortable working flexibly and even consider themselves more productive. Within the group of employees, they even say that companies do not encourage mobile working at all, and those that do are reluctant to adopt certain practices.

How can the company promote mobility?

Mobile restrictions or restrictions on tools that can be used to work from different locations are not really useful because they often lack the support they deserve. However, as we have already commented on occasion, encouraging mobile work in an appropriate way and with a prior strategic plan works perfectly well in companies. Employers are also the ones who must offer workers adequate support and tools for this purpose, in addition to encouraging their use and preventing any security risks that may arise. It is the companies who must be in charge of all the deployment that involves the use of mobile devices or material for mobility. The unrestricted use of work tools by workers is very unsafe and can lead to problems in the long term. Encourage mobility, yes, but think about the risks and analyze the pros.
