London, UK – 20 September 2010 – K2 Advisory’s research study, “Digital Workplace Choices: Preparing for the 2020 Workplace,” reveals that UK employers are handicapping corporate productivity by failing to measure employee satisfaction of technology devices or whether they are even fit for business purpose. Most ‘millenials’ or ‘echo boomers’ in their 20s are more IT savvy than their Baby Boomer bosses, creating a generational divide of frustration around corporate devices issued to employees. Senior company management, boards of directors, as well as CIOs, are distancing themselves from workplace technology and tools. The majority of employers view ‘strategic IT’ as the large servers and enterprise IT infrastructure residing in their offices, rather than the small technology devices in employees’ hands. In doing so, they are not only hindering employee productivity, but also missing opportunities to make their own organisations more competitive.
