Many UK companies could see a massive increase in productivity from their staff if they offered mobile working and virtual desktop solutions. A report by an expert at Riverbed Technology believes that offering the right mobile working options to staff would ensure people are less distracted when working out of the office.
Mark Lewis, senior director of marketing and alliances for Riverbed, firmly believes the benefits of good mobile working solutions and applications need to balance out the in-office interaction many workers miss when not in the office.
"There are a number of technologies in place today from a number of organisations, where people can not only access remote applications and files but get access to these with ease and speed," he said.
Research performed recently by Lumison showed that around 50% of office workers expect their bosses to be sceptical of mobile working solutions. They worry that their boss would think they were not completing certain tasks or other staff may not work as hard.
This is not the case however, and many mobile workers reap the benefits of flexible working and networking on the go, without having to miss out on important tasks that used to have to be done in the confines of the office.
Using virtual desktops and mobile working solutions is the key to flexible working, which is a necessity for many workers juggling meetings with external clients, family life and other tasks that don't take place in the office itself.
