After the holidays, thousands of employees will return to work with new tablets, smartphones, and smart watches delivered by Santa. Are you ready? 

Whether your business endorses the policy of using personal devices for workplace tasks or not, employees will use the best tools, or those they are most familiar with, to complete tasks, which frequently means using their own smartphone.
