Engaged employees are not only concerned with their future salary, they care about their organization and want it to succeed. Employee engagement helps companies reach their full potential by opening communication channels and increasing productivity, as highly engaged employees are 38% more likely to achieve above average productivity (Workplace Resources Foundation).
A Gallup study found that companies with high employee engagement are 21% more productive and 22% more productive than companies with low employee engagement, not to mention higher retention rates. It helps employees fulfill their professional and personal needs that lead to self-actualization, as well as their desire to make a social impact.

Technology plays a key role in engaging HR across the workforce. It helps to increase the emotional commitment of employees towards the organization and its goals, thereby exercising discretionary effort by employees. According to Adobe, there is a direct correlation between technology, employee engagement, and employee retention. 85% of employees who believe their company’s technology is superior to others say they like their job. 70% of employees surveyed believe that technology helps them improve their work-life balance.
Mobile technology provides many benefits for employee engagement. Internets and corporate social networks offer endless possibilities, but a limited set of tools and information. They cannot facilitate feedback, are easily overwhelmed, cannot measure engagement, and cannot be used outside of the office. Mobile devices, on the other hand, can access the entire global workforce, collect data and provide feedback, and generate interactive issue insights and reports. Mobile apps are a key element in enabling employees to stay connected to tools and resources, both onsite and offsite.
According to Dale Carnegie, companies with engaged employees are 202% more productive than their peers. Employees use mobile phones 99% of the time. This means distributed teams can receive real-time messages, send feedback, receive real-time updates, news and announcements, and collaborate through mobile apps.

The results of the PGi Telework Week survey above highlight the necessity of telework. Companies can use ubiquitous mobile technology to encourage employees to work remotely, among other available technologies. Not only does this allow HR to reap the benefits of a more motivated, happier and more productive workforce, it also reduces overhead and retains employees by keeping them at home.
Employees can work anytime, anywhere. In the case of minor illnesses, the work can be conveniently done from home, and if the customer has an urgent need, the employees can work from a mobile phone on the go.
Performance development
By enabling all aspects of a mobile-enabled workplace, HR can streamline workflows, reduce information clutter, and increase on-target reporting.
For example, Alaska Airlines, which employs more than 9,800 people, flies 117 aircraft to 91 destinations in the United States. Pilots must carry 25 paper manuals a day. These must be reprinted each time the information changes. The airline provides all pilots with iPad tablets with up-to-date manuals updated immediately before and after each flight. Alaska Airlines estimates it saves more than 2.4 million sheets of paper and more than 25 pounds of flight weight in areas where weight is a major concern. This decision improved decision-making and reduced operating costs, which increased efficiency.

You can save time by automating repetitive tasks and move easily between different devices and locations without delaying the achievement of organizational goals.

HR must use training technology to provide comprehensive HR support to its employees. Applications with menu-driven information systems make it easier for employees to search for information. A just-in-time (JIT) learning approach helps employees get the information they need to solve a problem or complete a task in small steps. This makes the learning process exciting, easy and fast, so employees can immediately reinforce what they’ve learned.
When employees learn what they need right away, they want to show off their newly acquired skills and knowledge. They can understand the value of learning new skills and how they contribute to the overall success of the organization. This helps increase employee engagement.

Mobile is the primary channel for employers to conduct surveys. Beyond capturing and reporting data, however, mobile apps can add value through measurement capabilities in the realm of employee interaction. can do:
- Effectively measure employee engagement with content and help gather feedback on company messages and initiatives.
