Technology In The Workplace

Technology In The Workplace

Author: Canadian Government Executive February 12, 2020 Duration: 17:16

Technology has made our personal lives a lot easier but what's the effect in the office environment? In our personal lives, we rely on a few apps but that's not the case in the office environment. Technology in the workplace is often company-sanctioned and generally cumbersome to use. A typical employee uses over a dozen apps to get work done. Also, it takes on average about four different apps to get one process done. In addition to this, employees are interrupted throughout the day with text messages, chats, alerts and other notifications.

This creates a lot of noise in the system.

In this episode of CGE Radio, we take a look at one solution that can help quiet this noise down and help increase productivity in the work environment. Ed Rodriguez, Vice President of Sales & General Manager of Citrix Canada joins J. Richard Jones to talk about Citrix Workspace.


For decades, Canadian Government Executive has been the essential print and digital publication for those navigating the complex machinery of the public service. Canadian Government Executive Radio extends that legacy into audio, creating a direct channel for conversation about the policies, technologies, and leadership shaping governance from town halls to Parliament Hill. This podcast moves beyond press releases and official statements to explore the real-world implementation of ideas. Each episode features candid discussions with deputy ministers, city managers, IT directors, and frontline innovators who are tasked with turning legislation into action. You’ll hear about the challenges of digital transformation, the intersection of cybersecurity and citizen services, and the evolving nature of public sector leadership in a time of rapid change. It’s a forum for the people who build, manage, and protect the programs that define Canadian society. By focusing on the practical expertise of senior officials and the technologists enabling modern government, this series provides context and clarity that you won’t find in daily news coverage. Tune in for a nuanced perspective on how decisions are made, how technology is adopted, and how public service executives are steering their organizations toward the future. This is where policy meets practice, offering listeners an insider’s understanding of the forces that govern.
