According to a new research from Timlico, 93% of the directors of small and medium businesses (SMBs) believe that remote and mobile working is becoming more important in the workplace.
The research also discovered that over 66% of small businesses employees have the possibility of working remotely while at medium size companies this number grows to 75%.
But how are mobile workers affected by their mobility?
Another research recently stated that mobile workers are working longer hours. According to the iPass workforce survey on mobile working, workers are using remote connection solutions to work during non-work hours. 38.3% stated they are using the solutions to work during the morning, before office hours, while 36.6% said they use them to work during the lunch hour. 24.7% stated they use mobile work solutions to work when traveling to and from work, 26.6% that they work after dinner and 18.8% that they work late at night. Only 43.1% of the respondents said they never work during the night.
Still, mobile workers seem to be happy workers. The survey shows that mobile workers feel empowered by their mobility and that they are willing to trade off their free time if that means that they have more flexibility about being or not at the office.
When asked what would make mobile workers disconnect from technology, 48% answered they would do it to spend time with their family and their children, 46% answered “while on a public performance”, 39% said “air travel” and 35% said “while having dinner at home”.
Problems with the adoption of mobile working
Still, the adoption of remote work has problems that SMBs need to deal with, like the losing and stealing of devices (76%) and lack of security of stored data (61%).
Solutions like RHUB’s 6-in-1 appliance can help SMBs dealing with the problems associated with remote connection and remote access. RHUB’s appliance is very easy to implement, requires no IT maintenance and offers complete security against illicit accesses.
