What is a working day like for an employee?

Nowadays, most workers spend eight hours working at their desks every day. Many companies make rules. They ask workers not to come late or leave early. But in the future, there may be no offices any more. People will have meetings through the Internet instead of sitting in the same room. Workplace and time will be far more flexible. To meet their needs, workers can have flexible start and finish time or work at home.

Citrix, a leader company in mobile technology, released a report last month. According to it, office place will be 17 percent smaller in 2020. The workplace will provide just seven desks for every ten workers. By that time,    29 percent of people will no longer work in a traditional office. They will do their work at home, in hotels or in coffee shops. The trend that fewer employees will work in the office is called the mobile work style. “Mobile” means to move. A quarter of companies around the world have taken up this work style.

For employee, a mobile work style allows people to make use of their time and workplace free. It helps cut their travelling fees and makes for a better balance between work and play. For companies, the new work style saves them money. However, as workers may connect their companies in different ways at different places, employers need to pay more attention to protecting their data and information.

Mick Hollison, vice president of Citrix, is a supporter of the mobile work style idea. “The result of a mobile work style is a stronger organization with high ability people doing their best,” he said to the Investor’s Business Daily.
