1 in 3 employees say their home has better technology than their office

Ever feel like your mind works faster than your work computer's processing speed? You're not alone - 35% of 3,801 employees across the world admit the technology at their home is more cutting-edge than what they have at work.

An evident contrast supports this view - at work, employees use desktops (74%) more than laptops 48%), and landlines (71%) more than smartphones (46%). However, at home, they use laptops (72%) more than desktops (50%) - and smartphones (83%) more than landlines (52%).

As a result, nearly of the employees surveyed in Dell and Intel's new study said tech issues waste their most time at work - administrative tasks (19%), glitchy software (17%), and slow devices (17%).

Employees across ages have shown interest to work in a smart workplace, with more than half (57%) expecting to be working in a smart office within the next five years. Millennials, in particular, are more likely to quit a job that comes with substandard technology.
