Collaboration=Happy Employees

"A new study among 400 US/UK business leaders by Cambridge Judge Business School found that there is a clear link between company morale and how technology is used to collaborate at a work team and company level. Employees want to communicate - to be more productive, and have better relations with their peers."

"Three quarters of those interviewed reported that their companies deploy collaborative technology to enable people to share information quickly and easily. Used effectively, mobile technology leads to highly collaborative workplaces and employees who feel empowered and productive."
