This recommendation contributes to improvements in User experience
Working from home during COVID-19 led some companies to offer stipends for home-office technology intended for individual use, such as printers and internet access. Some organizations are offering allowances for personal technology as part of the benefits of new hiring packages for remote or hybrid workers. Personal technology such as internet connection, a laptop, and a smartphone and tablet are now considered essential in the digital age of working.
Personal technology provided by the company must not be considered private, however. Employees must assume the work they do on workplace technology is recorded and seen. Optimizing personal technology for the role and job responsibilities will improve employee performance.
