Xerox debuts app to track distributed workforce

Xerox is now offering the Team Availability App for keeping track of the availability and location of employees.

According to the Norwalk-headquartered company, the new app was created in response to the changing nature of workforce deployment. Xerox recently commissioned a global survey that found 56% of the respondents were investing in new resources to accommodate a hybrid workforce split between office and remote employees, while 58% planned to change their work-from-home policy within the next year.

“Managing a distributed workforce during a continued pandemic presents unique challenges no organization has experienced before,” said Joanne Collins Smee, executive vice president and chief commercial, SMB and channels officer at Xerox. “Organizations need to know who is available and where so they can make better decisions when allocating resources and work. This tool provides real-time knowledge to managers with distributed employee populations.”

The Xerox Team Availability App is available on the App Store and Google Play Store.
