SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - October 18, 2010) - Cisco (
Among the questions that will be addressed by the findings:
- Is the office unnecessary? Do employees globally think it is necessary to be in the office to be productive?
- Do workers expect IT to support any device -- personal or corporate -- in the workplace?
- Would employees select a job with less pay and more work flexibility in device usage, or is salary more important than flexibility?
- What are the differences in attitudes across cultures? For example, how do employee expectations and behavior differ in the United States, Brazil, and China, or between France and Australia?
- What are IT's major challenges as employee behavior and technology trends alter the way "work" is done and the way businesses operate?
Guests for the show include:
- Marie Hattar, vice president, Borderless Networks marketing, Cisco
- Rob Soderbery, general manager and senior vice president, Ethernet Switching Technology Group, Cisco
- Dave Evans, chief futurist, Cisco
- Joel Conover, senior manager, Borderless Networks, Cisco
"A technology avalanche is upon us," said Dave Evans, chief futurist, Cisco. "There are an estimated 14 billion devices connected to the Internet today, and that number is skyrocketing. The Cisco Connected World Report will help companies understand the expectations of today's employee who is mobile, collaborative, global and multidisciplined. To remain agile and to foster innovation in a network-based world, companies must arm employees with the technologies of today and tomorrow, and together ride the technology avalanche to success."
