TechnologyAdvice: How important are mobile phones to the workplace?

Sujee: If you take the New York Subway or if you go to London, the Tube, or you are in Singapore, the Metro, then you will see 80 to 90 percent of people working on mobile devices in transit. They want to use the time they’re spending commuting or going from one client to the other to go ahead and do their day-to-day work. That’s why mobile devices are very important. People are not just going to be sitting at their desks and doing things. If you can take that data and then compare that data with your current and past employees, you’ll be able to see a pattern. With that pattern, you’ll be able to say, “Hey, you know what? This person that we have hired, who had IQ test of maybe about 80 or 90 and did well on the writing test, now where are those candidates in our organization?” Sometimes we can say, “Oh, you know what? These guys have done so well, now they are managers or they have climbed the corporate ladder. It’s this kind of data that’s in your systems that should be summarized and sent to the hiring managers. Provided by Josh Bland at Technology Advice.
