With constant connectivity blurring the lines between professional and personal lives and devices, it is essential that employees have seamless access to data when at the office, at home and on the road so they can stay productive while IT secures and manages the data and user wherever they go.

This was one of key messages from the Global Evolving Workforce Study from Dell and Intel, which was conducted between July 11 and September 5 and which surveyed 4,764 employees of small, medium and large organizations in 12 countries.

Respondents were from financial services, manufacturing, retail, media & entertainment, healthcare, and education as well as the government, healthcare and education. They are based in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Brazil, China, India, Russia, Turkey, UAE, and South Africa.

Results revealed six key trends that provide insights on how to better attract, retain, support and motivate the global workforce.

First, one size doesn’t fit all. Wherever and whenever they are working, employees are using multiple devices, rather than just one to get their jobs done. These include a desktop, a tablet or 2-in-1 laptop. Performance is the top priority for what employees want in their work device with 81% stating it as either the first or second most important attribute.

Second, the office is king, but it’s a jungle, too. As employees conduct work in different locations, the office still is the primary place of work with 97% spending at least some time in their employer’s office — an average of 32 hours weekly in developed markets and 26 hours in emerging markets. Other places to work in are public places, a client’s office, and at home.
