Today, everyone has a smartphone in their pockets, and a laptop ( 笔记本电脑 ) on their desk, so many business managers think about why they should pay for a phone or laptop when employees have them. Hence, you find appearing the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) company. Then what are the advantages of a BYOD policy? Cost: You will find that the cost of buying phones and laptops for every employee is high. If you ask employees to bring their own, it saves you a big fortune. You may run into an employee who doesn’t own a smartphone, but most people already do. Convenience: Employees can stick one phone in their pockets and don’t have to worry about taking care of two devices. Work email, home email, is all together. You’ll know that you can always reach your employees because they’ll always have the phone with them. Up-to-date technology: Employees are often more willing to pay to replace their phone or laptop with the latest available device. This is a boon ( 益处 ) for your company as the equipment is updated faster than it would if the company had to pay for it.
