“
35% OF WORKERS
AT LAGGARD
ORGANISATIONS
COMPLAINED
THAT THEIR
DEVICES HOLD
THEM BACK FROM
PERFORMING
PRODUCTIVELY IN
THEIR ROLES.
Devices are considered one of the most
tangible measures of how innovative a
workplace is considered by employees.
For example, 35% of workers at laggard
organisations complained that their
devices hold them back from performing
productively in their roles.
“The data shows a clear new paradigm in
today’s UK digital workplace: more than
one-third of those who work for technology
laggards feel like outdated devices are
limiting their productivity, with more than half
frustrated and many with one eye on the door
as a result,” said Mickey Davis, Global Vice
President of Managed Workplace Services,
Unisys. “Equipping devices with the right
applications and productivity tools is critically
important to access and engagement.”
Ultimately, the report makes clear that
investing in devices could be an easy win
for businesses. Workers across a range of
sectors – including travel and transport,
financial services, health, social services
and justice – felt improved devices offered
the best opportunity to improve current
working conditions.
