How well are you connected with your employees?

There are now 6.4 billion connected devices in use worldwide, according to the analyst house Gartner. As technology becomes a growing part of our everyday lives at work and on the move, workers will  increasingly want to use their devices to access HR services at the office, from home, and while travelling. This presents a great opportunity for the HR function to connect and engage with employees on many more platforms, embedding technology across  all initiatives and programmes within HR.

However, our 2015 Global Employee Benefits Watch Report has uncovered that few organisations are currently maximising on technology; and only 13% of companies are currently using mobile apps to communicate employee benefits. Considering that the average person checks their phone 27 times a day, a huge number of organisations are missing the opportunity to differentiate themselves with an engaging and user-friendly mobile benefits platform.
