Today’s technology market offers numerous options for businesses to connect with employees wherever they are. With an average person using their mobile phone for more than 2-3 hours per day, organizations have an opportunity to reach employees in one of the most highly trafficked channels. With smart solutions managers who curate mobile technology to communicate will see the highest levels of employee engagement. With a minute to spare people in the field typically turn to their mobile device to fill in even the shortest gaps between tasks.
Mobile application development companies usually tend to build apps that aim to do everything at once. Generally, mobile apps are nothing but an abbreviated form of prevailing websites or desktop apps that are intended to perform all the same tasks as their larger counterparts. This leads to troublesome, annoying and slow apps that cease to be efficient due to unnecessary and irrelevant functionality.
The concept of micro app revolves around two essential fundamentals:
- Quick, targeted, narrow, get in – interact – get out function, incorporated into a single mobile app.
- Performing tasks in real time, irrespective of whether it is personal or professional.
In comparison to the usual enterprise mobile apps, micro apps offer an experience that is more specific and is easy-to-use.
Organizations are constantly looking for new ways to increase employee efficiency, but often only further perpetuate the problem by introducing yet another new app or program. Reaching employees through the most actively used channel throughout the day is the key. Choosing the right mobile technologies to support higher levels of employee engagement will build stronger ties regardless of location.
Micro apps have emerged as a way to take some of the pressure off and help businesses push past the barriers of enterprise mobility. Just as mobile apps are transforming the way enterprises go mobile, micro apps are transforming the way people work.
Micro apps are simpler and more targeted, allowing employees to quickly perform specific tasks from any device, email, browser, or communications client. They provide highly focused, task-based functionality that let users get in, interact, and get out with maximum efficiency.
Instead of spending months developing a huge all-in-one mobile app, organizations can quickly create micro apps that address a specific employee need or streamline a single business process, such as approving an expense report or checking on the status of a lead in a CRM.
Engagement, productivity, and retention are directly related to the measurement of an employee’s satisfaction in the workplace. When employees are engaged they are more likely to be motivated to perform and stay where they are. Select the best mobile technologies your organization needs to reach the performance levels. The better the selection of tools with the right content, the more autonomous employees will be at making the decisions they need to perform and the better will be the clarity in communication among the employees.
