Hybrid and remote work models are not going away. While there’s been a push to return to the office this year, and the average city office occupancy rates are over 50% for the first time since the pandemic, the Wall Street Journal reports those numbers have now stalled.
With good patient experience linked to higher profitability for healthcare providers, you don’t want to walk by a hospital staffer dealing with a patient and hear them say, “Sorry to make you wait, the system is slow” or “Bear with me; my laptop is having issues today.”
For companies across industries, worker expectations have grown exponentially. Many who enjoy the flexibility of remote and hybrid work expect seamless technology and tools. Meanwhile, their peers in-office also expect efficient technology, processes, and support.
In the battle for talent in the hybrid workplace there is one thing that can set your company apart – the digital employee experience. Attracting and retaining employees isn’t just an HR thing — IT plays a significant role, too.
We’ve moved past the idea of remote work as a temporary solution to work during the pandemic.
Now most of us recognize “work from anywhere” for what it is: a great way for employees to get the work/life balance they crave, a boon for the overall employee experience and the cost of doing business today.
To compensate for frustrating tech problems, our recent survey revealed the average enterprise worker is personally spending hundreds on technology needed for the job — that is, if they’re not quitting first.
Happy and engaged employees make for happy customers. Anecdotally we know this, but the research makes it clear too: improving the employee experience drives growth.
The workplace is changing, but the need for productivity is constant. Device flexibility, workplace adaptability, and durable tech solutions are crucial.
Among the most significant by-products of the pandemic has been an increased reliance on technology to not only keep business operations afloat but as a solution for longstanding workflow inefficiencies.
The quick pivot to remote work forced by the pandemic meant many organizations allowed employees to use their own devices when they never had before. Bring Your Own Device (or BYOD) has long been popular with many workers. BYOD lets employees work with the technology they use in their everyday lives, and many are more comfortable and productive that way.
