Can I remove the need to encrypt the device with BYOD / SM App Managed?
This is an option with AirWatch and I have read this hampers device performance as it needs to unencrypt every time you use the device.
Thank you,

I have not seen such an option. Perhaps in a future release it may be an option.
Oh and I have not seen any performance issues or loss on my tablets. Samsung Tab E in Kiosk mode.
I think encyption is a requirement of being tied to Googles 'Android for Work '. I have not noticed any performance issues with it either
@Ponceme @Brickcounter - Thanks for letting me know there is no noticeable performance hit.
Airwatch make it optional: (Last Option)
Thank you,

Check out this note from our AfW Deployment Guide - it would appear to be a mandatory step in AfW enrollment:
"Google requires that Android 5.0+ devices be encrypted when using AfW. This is important for both general device security as well as application specific data security. "
