Android for Work is Android's built-in dual-persona system for enterprises and small businesses. For Google Apps subscribers, the feature allows users to access separate apps and data for work and personal usage. This allows users to have a "Work Gmail" app and "Personal Gmail" app, for instance.
The biggest negative we found in our review of Android for Work was the ridiculously complicated setup process. It involved ticking checkboxes all over the Google Apps Dashboard and even copying and pasting security tokens from one part of the dashboard to another. Google seems to agree that the process was a bit much—setup for Android for Work has been overhauled and now happens with one click.
Google's blog post comes out pretty strongly against the old system, saying, "No longer must admins complete fifteen steps spread across different pages in the admin console, cutting and pasting security tokens, to set up Android for Work." The prerequisite Mobile Management Setup is an easy one-step setup process now, too. Just press the "Manage now" button and it will automatically enforce sensible policies like a lock screen and remote wipe.
