Three out of five employees believe that there is no need to be present in the office to be productive and say they would choose a job that is paid less, but has flexibility in accessing information outside the office, rather than a better paid, but lacking flexibility, said respondents to the study of 'The Cisco Connected World Report', produced by the company Cisco .
The share of employees who believe they need not be present in the office to get the best results grow in Asia and Latin America, in India 93% of employees share that view. The same result is prevalent in China (81%) and Brazil (76%).
45% of employees that can access networks, applications and corporate information outside the office said they are working two to three extra hours a day and a quarter said they worked four or more hours. It is very important flexibility to work from anywhere, what motivates employees' loyalty to the company (13%), job choice (12%) and morale (9%).
Almost half of respondents in IT (45%) said they were not prepared in terms of policy and technology to support a more mobile workforce without borders, believing that security (57%), budget (34%) and staff expertise (17%) were the main barriers to allow a more distributed workforce. Employees feel that the obstacles consist of IT and the corporate policies.
Security fears appear to be exaggerated, given that 58% of employees admit that they have allowed people outside the company to use corporate devices without supervision. On the other hand, according Agerpres, 25% of IT respondents said that a quarter of the devices to employees in the last 12 months have been lost or stolen.
The study was commissioned by Cisco and conducted by InsightExpress, a market research firm based in the United States, which analyzed responses from a sample of 2600 people in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Britain, France, Spain , Germany, Italy, Russia, India, China, Japan and Australia.
