Wearables At Work: 7 Productivity Apps

I have seen some companies use wearables on white collar workers in the name of increasing productivity and learning the habits of highly effective workers Its hard for it to feel non-intrusive but tis here in many offices there are some companies that imbedding tracking devices in employee id cards and they can be tracked anywhere on the corporate campus.

It's a great question in Europe wearables have been used for years to assist with productivity in warehouse jobs, they report greater safety and productivity after introducing wearable's. They have also used them for work force management by measuring efficiency of one worker vs., another at the same job. Most likely they will be gaining greater penetration in the US.

The convenience is terrific but I also have difficulty reading very small print. Audio capabilities on these wearables would help in that regard, both for receiving information and taking information into the app. I also would guess some employees might be concerned about wearable apps and their privacy in the workplace.
