68% of companies believe hybrid work will be the default model by 2024 

- 2022 Future of Work Study, Incisiv

If the shift towards hybrid work wasn’t apparent before Covid struck, there is no denying that now it is embedded in the collective way of working. Enterprises are trying to shift workers back to the office - due to a lack of business readiness for hybrid work. On the other hand, workers themselves have become accustomed to zero commutes, the luxury of not always being on high alert about their physical behaviours, and the comforts of home. It’s creating friction that can only be eased by digital transformation.

For service providers, this means an opportunity to bring enterprise hybrid infrastructure up to speed, and fast.

In Owl Labs State of Remote Work 2021 survey, “76% (of employees) said working from home after the pandemic would make them happier.” Not only this, 83% say they have been at the same productivity level or higher during work from home. 

Companies don’t have a long term hybrid work strategy

64% of companies don’t want a hybrid work model - Future of Work Study, Incisiv

So, why are companies so keen to get people back in the office when employees are clearly thriving - rather than simply just surviving - under a hybrid model?

It’s because they’re simply not ready.

Despite working from home becoming the norm over the past two years of our lives, the supporting company strategies, infrastructure security, working policies, and internal communication policies have been cobbled together simply to ‘get by.’ As a result, technology infrastructure is generally sub-par and less secure at best, and at worst, a barrier to work and a considerable risk to IP.

This technology infrastructure gap means that service providers need to zone in quickly to be the first to provide modernised tech that sticks.

Companies are now finding themselves facing an urgent need to get up to speed and modernise with technology and best practices - and fast. This is particularly true for those companies who weren’t headed towards a distributed working model pre-covid, which now presents an even more significant challenge.
