BYOD
Workplace tech policy
BYOD stands for "bring your own device," a policy allowing employees or students to use personal smartphones, laptops, or tablets for work or school purposes.
The practice reduces equipment costs for organizations but raises security and compatibility concerns: Our company switched to BYOD last year.
Sometimes extended to other contexts: The party is BYOD—bring your own drinks.
