When was the last time you checked with your remote staff about the state of their home tech?
A new report says two-thirds of remote workers have faulty devices they haven’t reported to their boss.
Laptops are the most likely to break, followed by keyboards, monitors, and PCs.
Most damage is done by food and drink spillages.
This is playing havoc with their productivity, so why don’t they report it?
It’s because they’re scared of getting into trouble.
Four out of five people continue to use their device if only a few features are affected.
A third will swap to their personal device instead.
This is a problem as it opens up your business data to new security risks.
Personal tech might not have all the security measures a work device would.
We suggest you make it a golden rule that all work must be done on company-issued devices.
And create a culture where it’s okay if a device gets damaged so long as it’s reported quickly.
