IT industry's labor shortage

Device choice powers productivity

Between the IT industry's labor shortage and prospective hires newly empowered by remote work, it’s no secret that it’s harder than ever to hire and retain skilled talent. But did you know you can combat high turnover with the right technology?

The tech you supply your workers has a lasting impact – not only on their productivity, but also their workplace satisfaction. Giving your employees the devices they prefer allows them to use the operating systems, software, and hardware they know best, enabling them to work efficiently.

Expanding employee choice liberates your organization from the uncertainties of today’s supply chains. In a “choose your own device” (CYOD) program, your users can choose from a range of manufacturers and device types, broadening your ability to procure devices that can actually ship.

CYOD programs give employees choice while maintaining the granular control your organization needs. Now, your IT teams can implement better security policies before deployment, such as blocking certain applications and websites.

When shifting to an employee-driven device model, your organization doesn’t have to spend valuable time and resources reinventing the wheel. By and large, the IT industry has at least a decade’s worth of best practices in place to make employee choice an achievable initiative, regardless of your organization’s size or requirements.

If you have questions about employee choice or don’t know where to start, work with your trusted IT provider to compare your goals against your needs and build a device program that works for you.

Benefits of CYOD include:

Greater control for your security team.
Easier data retrieval when employees leave or change devices.
Fewer distractions from unwanted applications and websites.
Simplified IT management via repeatable, scalable processes.
