16. What is driving Employees to be Overwhelmed?
Growth in Workforce Distribution
▪ Shifting workforce: About 1/3 of US workers are currently freelance staff
▪ Work from home: 63 million will telecommute in the US by 2016
Lack of Technology Integration
▪ Overwhelmed: Businesses average more than six communications devices and almost five
communications applications per employee
▪ Frustrated: Collaboration inefficiencies waste up to 25% of staff time
▪ Home – Employees have more access to advanced technology at home than at work.
Demand for New Modalities
▪ Mobile phone = New PC: 600 million smart-phones will be used for business in 2011
▪ Virtual meetings on the rise: Videoconferencing technology could replace 20% of business travel WW
