Many companies still struggle with reimbursement and access policies for employees on the go
It's one of the most frequent questions I get at conferences: How to
manage all those users who would like to -- or simply do -- use mobile
devices and want their work usage reimbursed. This question usually
comes up in the context of BYOD, but of course can be raised in terms of
company-provided devices. In other words: Who gets those in the first
place?
Although every company has its own requirements, employee-enablement
bias, and context, every company can start from core, equitable
principles, then modify them for their own needs and culture. What
follows is my proposed draft policy based on these principles. As you
begin a new year, now is a good time to (re)think your own policies
around mobile and remote-access reimbursements and permissions.
