A leading hybrid IT service provider, Microland, has announced the launch of MicrolandOne™, a first of its kind comprehensive and secure employee mobile app.
The app stitches together a contextual, immersive and unified experience, creating a digitally enhanced workspace for Microlanders spread across 150+ global locations today.
The rollout of this mobile app coincides with the company’s 28th anniversary, and its mission of being positioned as a ‘next-gen digital company’.
The app was conceptualized keeping in mind the changing demands of the multigenerational workforce, and eliminates the need for accessing desktops or laptops for critical work applications.
Employees can stay informed with news about Microland, find opportunities to learn and grow, wish colleagues on special occasions, register and remain up to date with company events, contribute to causes, participate in contests and surveys that help shape Microland’s workplace and become part of common interest groups.
The app also features regular HR tools such as leave management, salary details, expense reimbursements and transport tracking.
A recent research on global human capital trends for 2017 identifies ‘Digital HR’ as a key differentiator in people engagement initiatives.
“In this age of smartphone toting, app dependent millennials, our digital native workforce, demand a mobile-first approach for a new level of rich engagement.

I can now instantly get things done and be less dependent on my laptop,” says Yogesh Rathod, a next-gen Microlander.
