In research conducted annually by the Regional Center for Studies for the Development of the Information Society ( Cetic.br ), linked to NIC.br , it was found that in 2015 cell phones exceeded computers as the most used device for internet access in Brazil.
Among internet users in Brazil, which are 58% of the population 10 years or older, 89% access the internet for mobile, while 65% access through “desktops”, notebook or tablets computers. In 2014 there were 80% of computers access and 67% for smartphones.
In 2014, 19% of Internet users accessed the network only by mobile phone, this number jumped to 35% in 2015. This shows the relevance that smartphones currently have in people's daily lives, as the device centralizes the use of various technology-related services, such as access to email, social networks, communication with friends, colleagues and family, access to bank systems and so many other services available through mobile devices.
The data are from the ICT Home survey 2015 , conducted by Cetic.br . The survey also showed that the proportion of households with internet access (51%) remained stable compared to 2014 and that among households with internet access, 79% had Wi-Fi in 2015, a growth of 13% compared to 2014.
Regarding the type of connection used by internet users on mobile, 87% connect via Wi-Fi, surpassing access via 3G and 4G networks, which is 72%.
Bringing this data to the corporate environment, we have a situation that requires monitoring by managers, as mobile phone use in the workplace for personal activities can cause employee time waste and affect team productivity. As we mentioned here on the blog, the use of smartphones can consume up to 2 hours a day of professionals in the workplace .
Thus, it is necessary for companies to follow the performance of their employees . Because in teams where income is not satisfactory, this may be occurring due to the waste of time and lack of concentration generated by the exaggerated use of mobile phones or other services on the Internet.
If this problem of low productivity and lack of focus of employees is occurring in your business, it is important to use solutions that allow you to monitor and even control what is accessed on the Internet in smartphones and computers connected to the company's network. Another practice that has been growing in companies is to require employees to keep their cell phones stored and out of reach, and the use of apparatus is allowed only in urgent situations. There is a document model for mobile phone use policy in the company .
In conjunction with ICT Home 2015 ICT Enterprises research is also conducted , which seeks to measure the presence of information and communication technologies in companies with 10 or more professionals.
