Presidio Blog - Give Employees a Choice. They'll Deliver Their Best Work.

Over the past three years, we have seen unprecedented changes and a global shift from working from the office to working at home, which has triggered a significant portion of the workforce to re-evaluate their work-life balance and priorities.

Every company is now facing the War on Talent in the market, across all verticals and sectors. So how do companies draw people back to work for them and make sure they retain their talent in these uncertain times? According to a recent study by Jamf & Vanson Bourne, 89% of employees would be willing to take a pay cut to use the devices they prefer at work. Giving employees the choice of what technology they can use at work has a significant positive impact, on both the company and its employees, as it enables your staff to be more productive, creative and collaborative.

By offering your employees the device choice programme, you will see immediate benefits, such as end-user job satisfaction, as well as strengthening a company’s offering in the war on talent and employee retention. A recent study showed that 3 out of 4 employees stated that they would choose Apple devices when given the choice.

Beyond the basic company setup, IT can personalise Apple devices and choose the perfect set of apps that will work for each type of user. Through Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Apple Business Manager (ABM) each Apple device is deployed correctly and managed securely, making sure your staff are getting the most out of their Apple devices. Thanks to Apple Business Manager, our customers can also avail of zero-touch deployment, which means the devices are ready to be used straight out of the box, configured automatically without IT's help.

Deploying Apple has some other key benefits:

• Apple Total Cost of Ownership over 3 years is proven to be less than other comparable devices
• Apple machines are hardy and have way lower failure levels than other devices
• Apple machines have a far smaller attack surface, their embedded technology makes them far less vulnerable and easier to control.
• Mac is green – new machines use 100% recycled aluminium, can run on one charge for 18 hours and are capable of being re-cycled at the end of their useful life.
