How do you work?

HOW DO YOU WORK? TODAY'S WORKERS ARE DEMANDING MORE INDEPENDENCE THROUGH NON-TRADITIONAL WORKING PRACTICES AND THIS, TOGETHER WITH AN EXPLOSION OF NEW GADGETS AND NOW MAINSTREAM FASCINATION WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES, IS DRIVING HUGE CHANGE IN HOW, WHERE AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE WORKING. WE WANTED TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN (AND OUT OF) OFFICES TODAY SO WE ASKED OVER 1000 WORKERS' AND THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND: MOST WORKERS AREN'T USING WHAT THE OFFICE GIVES THEM: 2.3 WORKERS ARE USING THEIR OWN PERSONAL DEVICES AT WORK AND THE MAJORITY OF EMPLOYEES AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION TO THEIR COMPANY'S IT POLICIES. 23% DON'T ALWAYS ADHERE TO IT 21% HAVE NEVER READ IT 29% NOT SURE IF MY COMPANY HAS ONE 27% ALWAYS FOLLOW IT PEOPLE EQUALLY VALUE WORKING WHERE AND WHEN THEY WANT TO: IN AN IDEAL WORLD, HOW WOULD YOU PREFER TO WORK?
