Employers don’t want ‘one-size-fits all’ mobile device for employees

One mobile for work, one mobile for home is set to be the norm for UK employees in the years to come with less than half of the 5,000 businesses asked said they expect employees to use their personal devices at work in the future - down from 63 per cent last year.

The 21 per cent swing follows increased anxiety from employers about security. Over a third said security is the main reason for concerns about employees using personal devices for work purposes. Despite this, 42 per cent of staff currently use their own gadgets at work.
