A new infographic from Business & Legal Resources (BLR) examines an issue that is gaining momentum in workplaces throughout the United States—Bring Your Own Device, or BYOD. More and more employees own personal devices such as smartphones and tablets and employers are finding themselves faced with what to do when employees bring these devices to work and use them for work-related purposes.
The infographic examines the pros and cons for employers of having a BYOD policy and program and provides expert advice for employers on first steps to take to address BYOD in the workplace. View the infographic on HR.BLR.com.
BYOD seem inevitable eventually, but until then, what about employees who don’t have the requisite smartphone? One can imagine some type of discrimination allegations developing if you don’t also provide devices to these people in a totally fair way. And morale is another consideration.
