Outdated Tech Makes Workers Feel Less Productive, More Likely To Quit
The key to keeping today’s digital worker productive, positive about their job, and around at all? Arm them with the most updated technology possible, according to a new study by Unisys Corporation that explores the importance of deploying current and future digital capabilities in the workplace in the U.S. and 11 other countries around the world.
“The data show a clear new paradigm in today’s U.S. digital workplace: nearly half of those people who work for technology laggards feel like outdated devices are limiting their productivity, with more than half frustrated and many with one eye on the door as a result,” said Mickey Davis, global vice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. “Their frustration is very real and has a tangible emotional impact – and when you boil it down, it’s about access. Workers want to be able to do their job anywhere, and do it easily, without having to jump through hoops. Equipping devices with the right applications and productivity tools is critically important to access and engagement.”
