The remote revolution.

Balancing a hybrid workforce to alleviate pressures in an office-focussed world. There seems to be a trend emerging for companies to impose a return to the office, but as we enter 2023, the challenge for business leaders is to not return to the old familiar ways of working. Instead, it’s time to make the necessary changes to adopt and adapt to realise the benefits of remote working. Employees certainly are, and a Gallup survey in June 2022 revealed that 71% of workers saw an improved work-life balance when hybrid work was an option. The reduced time spent commuting can be put to use elsewhere with one cloud company claiming that 33% of the time spent by engineers is dedicated to training.
