A newly released survey from Jive Software, Inc. in Palo Alto, California, finds that seven out of ten (72%) employees want to use more technology in the workplace that enables them to work from anywhere. Furthermore, the same percentage state that the freedom to try new tools makes them more effective in their jobs, with 43% finding this a powerful loyalty driver.
Eighty-four percent of employers want to implement modern technology tools that enable workplace flexibility as a way to attract and retain top talent. However, there is room for improvement, as 72% of respondents believe their company could do better to provide technology that enables more flexibility, while 64% believe it is “very important” to have the flexibility to work from anywhere.
The survey was conducted online by Redshift Research on behalf of Jive Software within the United States among 1000 adults ages 18 and older who are employed full-time or part-time.
