Putting your employees first
Boost individual employee access to the business apps they need, when they need them, and you’ll increase your organisation’s overall performance.
3 Types of Companies are Emerging
(based on the opinions of their end users)
The Traditional Workspace
Companies that do not provide employees with the technology they need to do their jobs effectively.
The Transitioning Workspace
Companies that provide the apps workers want and need, but don’t yet make them easily accessible.
The Digital Workspace
Companies that provide the apps workers want and need, and make them readily accessible anywhere, anytime and on any device.
Five Key Findings
1. Digital transformation is driving a shift to a new management environment and culture.
It's nearly 3x more likely that a company is rated as a Digital Transformation Leader* when fully empowering employees.
*Pioneers plus leaders
2. As employees become more empowered, they become more productive.
Empowered employees in firms who make apps available and highly accessible report:
- 17% less time spent on manual processes
- 16% increase in team collaboration
- 16% faster decision making
3. Making business apps highly accessible from any device powers a real difference.
Empowered employees, compared to traditional employees, are more likely by nearly:
- 5 x to report gain in personal productivity
- 4 x to report their company us a more desirable place to work
- 2 x to report that apps are very important in accelerating decision-making in the company
4. Empowered employees expect greater success at enterprise level.
Empowered employees, compared to traditional employees, project for their firms:
- 34% greater increase in effciency
- Almost 2x the increase in service quality
- HR efficiencies for recruiting (69%) and onboarding of new employees (59%)
Plus, 87% of all CIOs surveyed believe that digitally empowering their employees can drive at least 5% additional revenue growth over 3 years.
5. There is misalignment between employees and CIOs.
CIOs and employees share very different views, both in where their companies are versus peers in providing technology to employees, and about the availability, utility, and freedom to use employee technologies at work.
This indicates a degree of disappointment by employees, and a complacency in CIOs which can lead to a dangerous disconnect that may impact a firm’s performance.

Key Considerations to Supporting Work-at-Home Directives for Business Continuity
Extraordinary events have the potential to change company culture faster than any other action. A natural disaster or pandemic, for example, prompts organizations to quickly review or put in place new, out-of-office work processes and technologies to reduce employee productivity losses when self-, executive-, or governmentmandated employee isolation is necessary.
