When Internet email was introduced into the workplace, many employers were concerned about how it would change the dynamics of a company. It took the business world by storm. Today, many companies are seeing a similar reaction with the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy where employees use their own personal mobile devices to conduct business in the office and at a remote location. It’s a growing trend, and it’s taking over the business world.
What Is BYOD?
BYOD is a practice that allows employees to use own personal devices, such as smartphones, notebooks or tablets, to do their job at work, at home or anywhere that’s convenient or necessary. These mobile devices are either purchased by the employee or by the company, depending on the strategy put in place. Workers are typically given access to company data and files just as they would if they were using a regular computer inside the office.
