Today, Xerox announced the launch of its Team Availability App,
a quick-to-deploy, real-time solution for organizations that need
to understand employee availability and location. Knowing where and
whether employees are working is critical to managing flexible work
environments, where the percentage of employees sharing time
between home and work locations grows.

Organizations are actively supporting and investing in
technology solutions for a hybrid workforce. A recent global
business survey commissioned by Xerox shows 58% of respondents plan
to change their work from home policy within the next year. This
new acceptance of a hybrid workforce has also revealed technology
gaps, with companies increasing investment in remote technology
resources (55%) or a hybrid of remote and in-office resources
(40%).
"Managing a distributed workforce during a continued pandemic
presents unique challenges no organization has experienced before,"
said Joanne Collins Smee, executive vice president and chief
commercial, SMB and channels officer, Xerox. "Organizations need to
know who is available and where so they can make better decisions
when allocating resources and work. This tool provides real-time
knowledge to managers with distributed employee populations."
Unlike other attendance management tools, which need to plug
into IT infrastructure and take weeks to implement, the Team
Availability App is ready in just hours. Once populated, the app
provides authorized users with customizable and privacy-protected
data for strategic decision making. Xerox is rolling out the app
across the company to support its Path Forward plans to manage a
phased approach to returning to the workplace safely. Xerox is
leveraging the app with its own employee population to conduct
daily health checks for exposure related to COVID-19. Tracking of
this activity allows for a safe and phased return to the
workplace.
The U.K.'s prestigious Imperial NHS Trust was the first
organization to pilot the Xerox Team Availability App to access the
status of essential workers across the Trust and its newly assigned
locations at the height of the pandemic.
"It's important for a healthcare provider to know which
caregivers are available when to support patients, and that's even
more critical in a pandemic," said Linda Watts, joint clinical
systems program manager, Imperial NHS Trust & Chelsea &
Westminster NHS Foundation Trust, head of health records, Imperial
College Healthcare NHS Trust. "The Xerox Team Availability App was
deployed at lightning speed, and we got updates from staff on their
availability in real-time. As a result, we could always make sure
our patients were covered."
The Xerox Team Availability App is a GDPR-compliant SaaS
offering with a subscription-based model that allows customers to
sign up for as long as required. It's available now on the App
Store and Google Play Store.
