Employee Choice
Through our employee choice programme, your business can empower your staff, allowing them to choose a device that best fits their role.
Employers will typically assign each member of staff with a pre-defined budget and a selected range of devices suited for their position. This allows employees to choose a device within their budget or take the value and put it towards another device, providing they pay the difference on any equipment worth more than the original value.
The Power of Choice
The technology that is provided to employees is fundamental to their work experience, as such the ability to choose a device can provide a positive effect on wellbeing, productivity, morale, recruitment, and retention.

Empowering Employees
An employee choice programme allows employees to choose the best technology to suit them and their role. Putting the needs of your workforce first and empowering them to put a personalised touch to their work devices. Bringing Apple technology to your business can help you to meet inclusivity needs by enabling staff to utilise the built-in accessibility features that can be customised to each user.
Recent studies have found that implementing an employee choice programme increases workplace and job satisfaction. 75% of respondents say that they are more likely to stay at a company that allows them to choose their own device.1 The benefits of an employee choice programme have the potential to create a happier and more valued workforce, empowering employees to deliver their best work.
Enhance Productivity and Creativity
Integrating an employee choice programme can bring a number of benefits to the day to day workflows of your business, which work in parallel to the improvements made to the employee work experience. When asked, 70% of IT professionals explained that they are more likely to join a company with an employee choice programme.1
In addition, 85% of employees feel they are more productive, and 80% said they feel valued by their employer when working at an organisation utilising an employee choice model.4 As such, when businesses implement an employee choice programme they foster a more creative and happier environment, strengthening their ability to attract and retain top talent.
Unlock Cost Savings
Compared to other options, Apple devices hold a higher residual value and retain this throughout their lifecycle. When selecting devices for your employees to choose from, it is important to consider which devices will hold the most value throughout their lifecycle so that when it is time to refresh you can invest this value back into your tech. In addition, research has found 74% of employees experience issues less frequently when using Mac, resulting in the potential for savings on maintenance and repair costs.4

Simplify Deployment and Management
Managing Apple devices through an employee choice programme is easy. Mac can be deployed via a zero-touch workflow which allows you to create device configurations without even taking it out of the box. Furthermore, over-the-air management allows you to push apps and settings wirelessly.
When employees are able to work with devices they are already familiar with, they will save time on learning and implementing these devices within their role.
