People do their best work when they have access to the best tools. In fact, 78% of millennial employees believe access to technology they like makes them more effective.

Furthermore, studies reveal that employee choice increases levels of innovation, in addition to workplace and job satisfaction - and when given the choice, around 75% of people choose Apple².

Why Universities adopt employee choice:
