Pacific Life Insurance Expands Recruiting Capabilities and Improves Employee Retention.

According to Dan Danner of the Washington Post, America’s small businesses create two-thirds of new jobs in the United States. And while the economy shows signs of recovery, small business owners are still skeptical when it comes to making capital investments and hiring new staff. But with the promise of mobility, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of virtualization technology, small business owners are now able to do more with less. They are increasingly following in the footsteps of larger enterprises, taking steps toward globalization with virtualization technologies that allow them to work from anywhere, anytime on any Web-enabled device. “Though these technologies aren’t new, their price has fallen sharply over the past decade, putting them within reach of more companies,” said Justin Lahart of the Wall Street Journal.

Findings

Pacific Life Insurance had lost many employees to personal issues that required they move away or not be able to come into the main office anymore. With virtualization technology, the company was able to make distance irrelevant, by providing their staff with access to the same applications and data they use in the main office on any Web-enabled device. Employees can now work anytime, anywhere from any device they want, expanding Pacific Life’s recruiting capabilities to a national level. Plus, because their critical business data isn’t actually stored on employee devices, but instead virtualized and stored in their data center, security is never an issue.
