Enhancing mobility in the workplace has become a cornerstone of success — and with good reason. Research from Gallup shows that since 2022, the number of employees operating on a hybrid work model has remained at 51%. Even those who work on-site say their teams are spread across different work locations has risen to 27%.
The data sends a clear message, and companies that support their mobile workforce stand to gain much. This has become increasingly easier because businesses can now equip their employees with B2B workplace solutions tailor-made for mobile professionals. Foldables like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 act as pocketable mobile workstations. Wearables such as the Galaxy Watch8, meanwhile, offer employees personal support with an AI-powered assistant on their wrist that can help them navigate tasks and manage everyday business needs.
A successful versatile workforce requires more than just hardware, though. It takes a full ecosystem of products, software and services working together to ensure employees have the tools they need, when they need them. Here are three ways to empower your mobile workers:
1. Think mobile workstation, not mobile phone
The latest mobile devices go far beyond simple phone and text functions. Businesses should instead see them as full workstations with all the abilities of a high-end PC or tablet. Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are cases in point. Galaxy Z Fold7’s Snapdragon 8 Elite and Z Flip7’s Exynos 2500 processors provide reliable, high-speed, PC-level performance.
Galaxy Z Fold7 can unfold into a tablet-like screen that can run three apps side-by-side simultaneously. That means employees can take a video call, edit a document and present data — at the same time. Then there’s Galaxy Z Flip7, which has an edge-to-edge infinity cover screen that lets them stay on top of their agenda and receive notifications even when their device is closed. FlexCam and FlexMode allow for hands-free calls, content capture and note-taking.
Should a team member want to expand the canvas further, they can use Samsung DeX on either device to connect to a larger screen and keyboard for a PC-like experience.
2. Embrace AI capabilities
While business teams always strive to support each other, they can’t be everywhere at once. Today, with AI tools, they don’t need to be. Galaxy AI for business and Google Gemini can help shoulder the load, allowing your Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 to record, transcribe and summarize calls with your clients for easy reference later, craft professional-sounding emails about any topic, filter out background noise from audio and video to make them share-worthy, and live translate foreign languages to smooth communication.
Particularly useful for employees on the go is the Live Translate feature, allowing clear communication of more than 70 languages. If they’re in an unfamiliar place, they can ask the AI directions and plot the response on Google Maps. The same goes for finding a recommended nearby restaurant or hotel to wind down the business travel day. The AI on the Galaxy Watch8 adds to worker productivity through sleep coaching, tracking heart rates and measuring metabolic health. This is the promise of AI that IT leaders increasingly look for in B2B technology solutions.
3. Secure content across devices
Decentralized teams — and those that employ them — need to stay vigilant against cyber threats. Without a unified network, this can prove exceptionally difficult, especially when teams use personal devices. Data breaches, malware, social engineering and other attacks could damage the brand and customers’ trust, not to mention cost, $4.4 million on average in 2025.

Standardizing your mobile workforce on the Galaxy ecosystem means you get the benefit of Knox, Samsung’s defense-grade device protection technology. With Knox, internal data and clients’ data are protected from the chip up, keeping all passwords, biometrics and other sensitive data secure from even the most sophisticated hackers. Knox Manage also makes it easy to deploy, manage and control devices securely.
Knowing data is well-protected no matter the location provides peace of mind to those using mobile workstations. What’s more, they know if any issues do arise, they can get support almost immediately, be it location tracking, remote troubleshooting or event-based policy enforcement.
The business advantage
The hybrid work world is here to stay, and any disruptions it may cause to traditional business models are now miniscule compared to the potential rewards. Technology for flexible work has ensured this, creating products and systems that not only support remote work environments, but actively level it up — taking advantage of the opportunities it brings and empowering workers with the tools to do so. As such, the business that follow suit can benefit the most.
