Office life is changing, and technology is facilitating it. What were once traditional models of working have quickly become outdated or inconvenient – both for businesses and employees. Change in this space is now occurring regularly due to the greater uptake of flexible working and borderless offices, proliferating the rise of smarter working set ups.

Today’s workplace comprises of three elements: space, technology, and people. There needs to be some level of synergy between these areas, especially when it comes to technology and people.
Currently every business is being tasked to do more with a lot less. Universally, employees are constantly trying to optimize their output with less of their previous budget. To make this task achievable processes must be as efficient as possible, which means having the best people enabled with the right tools. It’s a combination that can only be matched by aligning IT and HR processes – but it’s still comm ..read more

Our world has changed beyond recognition since the turn of the decade – and these changes are here to stay.
In keeping with this trend, Gartner predicts that by the start of 2022, 51% of all knowledge workers worldwide will be working remotely, up from 27% in 2019; and almost all employees (98%) believe future meetings will include remote participants.
With these different working patterns and people working together from different access points, businesses must ensure their cybersecurity measures are enhanced to keep their business safe and secure as employees work from various locations.

Since the turn of the decade, our lives have been defined by disruption.
But the impact on our livelihoods has been equally as profound, which is perhaps best summed up by the 47.4 million American workers who left their jobs voluntarily in 2021. Or, across the pond, the one in four of UK employees who are planning to leave their roles this year.
Such is the extent of this vocational switcheroo, it’s even got its own name: The Great Resignation. But whatever you want to call it, one thing is clear: we’re currently living in an era of talent, where organizations are either scrambling to retain ..read more

Automation is playing an increasingly pivotal role in the modern workplace.
Currently, many businesses have implemented automation on a mostly ad-hoc basis and are yet to scale across the enterprise. It means there’s still a need to ensure automation is part of the overall process of digital transformation, with people front and centre, to maximise its true potential.

Did you know frontline workers make up 80% of the world’s workforce?
For many, it’ll come as a surprise to learn that so many employees – some 2.7 billion of the global working population – don’t sit at a desk all day. But despite the sheer breadth of deskless workers, spanning essential industries such as healthcare and manufacturing, their wellbeing and the overall employee experience has been overlooked for years, compared to their desk-based counterparts.

Every good business requires skilled talent to fuel its operations. However, this is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve as while digital operations continue to gain popularity, the digital skills level of the general workforce fails to grow at the same speed.
The disparity in digital skills poses a big problem that’s only going to hinder businesses’ access if nothing is done to bolster the digital capabilities of existing workforces. Currently, security engineering, AI, machine learning, data analysis ..read more
