Jamf, the popular Apple MDM platform, has announced the results of an independent global survey, conducted by Vanson Bourne, of 2,000 employees and 500 IT decision-makers on how important device selection is at their jobs. The key findings reveal that 89% of respondents said they’d be willing to sacrifice part of their salary for the ability to choose their own device.
Employee experience is impacted by the technology they use more than ever before,” said Dean Hager, CEO, Jamf. “Giving employees the choice of what technology they work on has incredible value, not only to workers, but to their organizations as well. Establishing a choice program with the right technology partners can help employers attract and retain talent, while boosting employee creativity and productivity.
70% of the respondents said that they would be more likely to join a company that lets them choose a device, and 75% say that they would be more likely to stay at a company if they could choose their own device. More than 91% report benefits from an employee choice program, including increased productivity, positivity, and feeling more valued. Two-thirds of respondents said that being forced to use a device that they did not choose would negatively impact their perception of an employer.
