Tell us about your mobile worker life – new survey

Monday, June 27th, 2011

Are you a mobile worker? Tell us about your mobile life. Take our Mobile Workforce survey and let us know how your company supports your work away from the office – or not! Besides the satisfaction of telling us what you really think, you have a chance to win an iPad 2.

In our Q3 survey you have the opportunity to tell us things like:

  • How flexible IS your work schedule and what does your boss really think about this?
  • Does your manager love the fact that you are a mobile worker and expect you to be available night and day?
  • Or does he/she wish that the ability to work remotely would vanish from the face of the earth?
  • Where do you work and have you had to work in any very unusual locations?
  • How does being a mobile worker intrude into your personal life? Or does it mean that work intrudes less?
  • Do you work more or less hours because you can connect remotely?

If you work remotely, from a mobile device, telecommute or travel, we want to hear from you! We will share the report in August. You can also sign up to request the report to be one of the first to get it every quarter.

Personally, I was a mobile worker before it was the popular thing to do, by virtue of the fact that my jobs required a lot of time traveling and at customer sites. I’ve had to figure out how to get online despite the obstacles, wherever I was. So to me, it just makes sense to be able to work online anywhere, anytime.

The fact that I can connect remotely does mean that I work more – but it also means that I don’t have to be in the office when duty calls at 9 pm or 6 am. This means that my family has to understand that I am working sometimes, even when I am home – but it also means that I am home, and not away at the office.  And yes, my stress level is less due to the fact that I can ensure critical work is completed, even when I am away.

What about you? Tell us what you think by taking the survey, and enter for a chance to win an iPad 2.

    If you will be publishing the survey results, I would be very interested in seeing them. Please view my Mail address for follow up!

    In light of the survey topic, more and more mobile workers are turning their backs on the BlackBerry devices that were once catered around business-use, in turn choosing to use comparably better Android and iPhone devices.
