Managing Technology To Keep Mobile Workers Happy

Welcome to the new normal - the 24/7, 365-workday, in which many of today's employees default to their mobile devices for most essential business tasks.

Given these changes, it's no surprise that the statistics support even more growth in this area.

In fact, the number of mobile workers in the U.S. will rise from 96.2 million to 105.4 million over the next five years. By 2020, mobile workers will account for nearly three-quarters (72.3 percent) of the U.S. workforce, according to new research from the IDC. By 2025, more than 70 percent of the workforce will be millennials, who grew up with cell phones and can't live without smartphones.

Among the driving factors of these tech trends, the foremost is that millennials are more at home in the digital world of mobile devices, social media and cloud-based everything.

To keep these workers engaged, businesses of all sizes are investing in the latest technology to help them be more productive, generate revenues and keep costs low - both now and into the foreseeable future.

Spoke Phone represents the next generation of millennial-friendly phone systems, taking mobile technology to the next level.

Small businesses can download the Spoke Phone app to transform employee mobile phones into a central business phone system in three minutes or less.
