Although 68 percent of employees say they use their personal devices in the workplace, 42 percent of employees aren't even aware whether their companies' IT departments have full access to those devices, according to a recent survey by GLOBO.

Meanwhile, only 29 percent of respondents report that their companies have build-you-own-device policies in place. Fourteen percent of respondents say they are not even aware if their companies have implemented BYOD policies, and 91 percent of respondents do not know if their companies plan to add BYOD policies.

If their companies had policies allowing IT access to employees' personal information, such as emails and contacts, 93 percent of respondents say they would decline to participate in a BYOD program. Sixty-two percent of respondents say they mostly use personal devices at work to check emails. Another 69 percent of respondents say they would not violate company BYOD policies even if they could get away with it.
