Most businesses are currently operating remotely. This is due, in part to the realisation that working remotely hasn’t had a negative impact on productivity. In fact, many companies have reported an increase in productivity among their employees.
A recently published BBC article outlines how “50 of the biggest UK employers” have no plans to return to full office-based working, while a further 20 of the largest businesses have no current plan to bring any workers at all back into the office.
Some smaller firms are intending to do away with business premises altogether.
A survey carried out by Cardiff University and the University of Southampton reports 9 out of 10 employees that have worked from home since March want to continue and organisations recognise the importance of being able to offer this flexibility.
In order to continue to work from home, companies need to ensure their workforce have the technology to work efficiently, safely and securely.
