Welcome to the dawn of the mobile HRM era.
Over the last several years, there has been an increase in workforce mobility and, by all indications, this trend is expected to continue. Today, employees may be out of the office, but thanks to mobile technologies, they are no longer incommunicado and disconnected from their employer, colleagues, vendors and customers.
According to new research findings by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company, top performing companies are 26% more likely than all other organizations to use mobile tools to facilitate Human capital management processes and workflows. Mollie Lombardi, senior research analyst with Aberdeen’s Human Capital Management practice said the study also revealed these findings:
- “By streamlining workflows and approval processes, organizations using mobility tools in HCM saw a 13% year-over-year increase in manager productivity versus a 6% improvement for organizations not using mobile technology.
- “In addition, 65% of employees at companies using mobility tools for HRM rated themselves as “highly engaged” — versus 57% at organizations without mobile HRM.”
- “Mobile devices are seen as not just an extension of existing tools, but as a new medium through which to attract, retain, develop and manage people within the organization.”

Mobile employees not only lose productivity because they can’t access necessary applications remotely, but they also lose productivity when they are in the office and spend time trying to catch up on administrative tasks such as completing time sheets or expense reports rather than driving the business.
In addition to being an inefficient use of the employee’s time, employees that are required to give up personal time for work activities or take time away from core business requirements may be left dissatisfied with their jobs. Because current work environments foster greater acceptance and understanding of the blending of work and personal time, it’s critical that companies empower their employees to be able to execute their job at any time. If a sale can be made at 8:00 p.m. instead of during the course of a typical workday, it should.
Human Resources management must keep mobile employees synchronized with corporate policies and practices while providing ‘always on’ connectivity that enable employees to take critical business applications with them.
