Mobile Workforce
In accordance with the stellar rise in corporate globalization, an organization needs to equip itself in order to cater to a worldwide market and to be able to provide services and solutions across the globe without any hassles. In the new age of fast-paced business, a mobile workforce plays a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth workflow across all the locations.
A recent study conducted at CISCO has a definitive perception of how today’s mobile workforce looks like. Here is their classification:
1. Road Warriors – Resources who spend most of their time away, either at partner or customer locations
2. Campus Mobile – Resources who spend a significant amount of their time away from their desks, mobile within the campus
3. Corridor Cruisers – Resources who spend a fraction of their time away from their personal desks, inside the office
4. Field Force – Resources who spend most of their time outside the campus, usually moving to multiple sites
5. Tele Workers – Resources who mainly work from home, and need continuous heavy application access
These attributes are applicable to any organization. Apart from a few functions relegated to the desktop workspace with a chair and a PC, it is people on the move who execute core business functions.
As the importance of a mobile workforce increases in a constantly growing competition, it becomes imperative for organizations to cater to this constantly working for the population. Apart from offering the ease of business in diverse locations, a mobile workforce brings certain more advantages to a company, such as cost savings, reduced commute time, easier access to clients, and a better work-life balance.
While the deployment of a mobile workforce eases up the workflow, there appears the crucial challenge of managing such a workforce without any over-burdening costs and usual inconveniences that come due to its globally dispersed nature.
Imagine a system that allows the true mobility of a workforce by ensuring minimum cost expense and the maximum ease of executing business objectives.
