Overcoming the Challenges of the Connected Worker

Connected workers are also confronted with the challenges of integrating heterogeneous technologies, from collaboration platforms to mobile devices and IoT applications, which may give rise to various sources from different vendors. They may work on other systems, making it challenging to assure interoperability. Organizations require much time and effort to establish a seamless digital ecosystem because separate platforms can hurt productivity and frustration.

Connected workers face data security and privacy challenges due to increased cyber threats and potential breaches of employee and organizational data. Employees may also be concerned about privacy, as they feel their activities are monitored through connected technologies. Balancing the demand for connectivity with the importance of protecting data and respecting privacy rights is a complex challenge in this endeavor.
