But it alone won\u2019t secure you the top talent. You need wellbeing-related policies \u2013 and the tech to support them \u2013 if you intend on appealing to a younger audience.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stuck for ideas? We\u2019ve got just the thing\u2026[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_font=”font-329340″ text_size=”fontsize-155944″ text_weight=”400″]1. Data and security[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]There\u2019s no sugar-coating it: BYOD isn\u2019t safe unless you have total control. And that\u2019s something which is nigh-on impossible with personal devices.<\/p>\n
On each computer, there could be an unprotected document containing passwords or other valuable company data. Whether your employees care for their equipment or not, the varying levels of cybersecurity on each device will leave gaps \u2013 gaps that can be exploited with phishing emails and other attacks.<\/p>\n
Of course, this isn\u2019t to say that you couldn\u2019t align their protection yourself. But forcing all users to install company-approved protection can be difficult \u2013 not only because employees may refuse, but also in the event that their devices are dated and aren\u2019t compatible with contemporary cybersecurity.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_font=”font-329340″ text_size=”fontsize-155944″ text_weight=”400″]2. Device incompatibility[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Additionally, your team will rarely have the same brands of device in their homes. Some will use Apple products, others Microsoft, and some will use their mobile or tablet as a primary workstation.<\/p>\n
Android in particular has a diverse range of devices and varying versions of their operating system. Simply pairing these with other devices in your organisation can take time, which is often something that your IT department doesn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n
Should another department (such as HR) look to step in and help, this could cause further complications \u2013 leading both to lose track of potential hazards.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_font=”font-329340″ text_size=”fontsize-155944″ text_weight=”400″]3. Team collaboration[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]HR and IT aren\u2019t the only departments impacted. Having a huge range of devices hampers company-wide collaboration. If each piece of kit is running a different version of certain software, it\u2019s unlikely they\u2019ll be able to access data in real time.<\/p>\n
This presents a challenge if users are working on a project and aren\u2019t in the same location. The delay in communication will cause minor setbacks at best, and in worst-case scenarios, threaten the success of campaigns or product launches.<\/p>\n
Passing data between unsecure channels in this way could also be considered non-compliance with GDPR. It would likely earn you a significant penalty if it resulted in a breach of customer information.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_font=”font-329340″ text_size=”fontsize-155944″ text_weight=”400″]But there is an alternative\u2026[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]At Fonza, we know of one sure way to safely benefit from allowing personal devices in the workplace \u2013 and that is through using hosted desktops.<\/p>\n
Cloud computing is the only secure means of offering both remote-working and BYOD policies. It allows individuals to use their own computer while being protected.<\/p>\n
Once logging into the cloud, the device itself is irrelevant. It simply acts as a virtual version of a physical desktop, addressing all of the above concerns.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, we\u2019ll tailor our hosted solution to your processes. So, what\u2019s stopping you? Arrange a demo today.
