The Reasons

Tracking

There are actually quite a few reasons that support why companies are handing out brand new smart phones to their employees. One of the major reasons is that they can keep track of their employees wherever they are going which of course is something that the average boss would love to do. You can then see exactly what your employees are up too. Are they really ill or have they gone into town to buy something cool for themselves?

Kindness

Another great reason for giving out smart phones is that the employee will actually feel like they are worth something to the company. if you give your employees all of the latest gadgets then you are showing that you really care about them and it could help them to work a bit harder as their morale’s are going to be higher.

More Work?

With the addition of things like e-mail and Facebook on the mobile it is possible for your employees to do their work wherever they are in the country. You could get them to start the day by looking and answering emails on the train which saves the first 30 minutes of the day being wasted on this.

Negatives

There are a couple of negatives to this and the main one seems to be the initial cost of doing something like this. A lot of the phones may be on pay as you go but to see the real benefits you are going to have to pay for contracts for the employees. It is certainly going to cost you a lot of money if you have a lot of people within the office itself.

You are still going to need systems like the fax to email in place as the smart phone is not quite clever enough to redirect faxes into an email format just yet.
