Worklife integration – hybrid work place
Businesses aren’t run out of a single headquarters anymore. Remote workers and frontline employees who interact with customers don’t always have access to a laptop or computer.
A mobile-first strategy is one whereby the mobile version of a website is given priority over its desktop version.
This practice was relatively rare in the past, but has become increasingly common.
Going forward, mobile-first strategies will likely become the norm, due in part to the decision of major search engines to prioritize the mobile versions of websites.
Improved customer experience: Remote and frontline employees can provide customers with immediate answers via their mobile device.
Less employee stress: Remove commuting pressure, support a better balance between work and personal lives, fewer sick days.
Real estate savings: Fewer in-office employees allow you to reconsider the need for expensive office space.
Reduced travel costs: Connecting teams and customers through your employee mobile app or web browser saves on complicated, expensive logistics.
Greater diversity: Draw talent from across geography and socioeconomic status to build a team that represents a wider range of cultures and backgrounds.
Borderless productivity: Employees across time zones can share continuous workflows to support customers 24/7.
Business continuity: If problems arise at the physical office, mobile employees can continue your business anywhere they are.
The plan and technology you put in place for mobile first workforce will enhance the entire workplace experience — even in office. Keep your entire organization aligned with in-office facilities and company culture with:
Interactive directories: Make it easy to locate colleagues based on location;
Wayfinding: Guide remote employees and visitors when they come into the office; and
Conference room booking: Ensure the right equipment and space to support both on-premise and on-screen teams.
