The love of mobile workforce
This explosion in the size of the mobile workforce results mainly from the proliferation of wireless technology with its high speed Internet networks and Internet driven handheld devices. Another influential factor in the development of a mobile workforce is the increasing importance placed on work and life balance. The growing trend toward a mobile workforce presents some management issues for employers. One area of concern involves the nurturing of social relationships with workers who are scattered among different locations. Communications must be structured so as to fit the limits imposed by the electronic network of handheld devices that the mobile workforce uses to stay connected with the world.
