While there are clear benefits to introducing wearables into enterprise functions, organizations must address issues concerning employee privacy and data security.
Realistic Use Cases
Tip 1: Be realistic about the use case of wearables within the enterprise.
When considering implementing wearables into workplace functions and activities, companies should first take a realistic look at who will need these devices to contribute more to the organization, and how they will be used. For example, wearables can be used in human resources as part of employee on-boarding, helping provide real-time feedback, and in procedural updates. And items like smartwatches or FitBits can be utilized to create health care benefit programs. When these use cases are identified and vetted, companies can then start looking into what departments will have access and those that may not require wearables to be successful.
