Not quite.  Work profiles are for BYOD (bring your own device), where a 
worker wants to have access to their employer's network and apps on 
their personal phone, rather than carrying two separate devices -- one 
for work and one for personal use.

In general, IT staff can set limitations on what apps are available in 
the work profile, can prevent files from being shared from the work 
profile, can prevent copy-and-paste from the work profile, and can 
remotely wipe the work profile completely if the employee leaves or the 
phone is lost.
