Workplace technology key to staff 'appiness'

Employees who use mobile apps at work are 21% more likely to be happier in their jobs compared to those who don’t new research suggests.

The findings from software company webexpenses has revealed that the advantages of time-saving apps could have huge benefits for the working world, with 22% of those surveyed saying that it is difficult to keep on top of their work and 49% of all employees saying there is not enough time in the day to get everything done.

Michael Richards, Chairman of webexpenses, comments: "The findings from our research reveal an interesting disparity when it comes to how individuals utilise mobile apps across both their personal and professional lives. 38% of the mobile app users who responded to our survey said that using apps enhances their personal life and almost half (49%) say apps save them time; yet millions of people still aren’t reaping the benefits of using apps in the workplace.
