Right now, we are living in a novel time rife with the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the world is under a shelter-in-place directive with mandates about social distancing. Many can’t predict how long this will last or whether we can ever return to the way we used to live. But, the reality is this health crisis will change the way we work forever.
As companies rushed to transition most of their team members to work from home, people are relying even more on video conferencing, online chatting, emails, and social media platforms to stay in touch. Even when COVID-19 is under control, many people won’t return to the office and will instead choose to work from home indefinitely. As such, it helps to have a solution that provides the reliability, agility, and security employees need in times like these.
What is one of the biggest transformations facing organizations today? Mobility and working from home. Business needs to accommodate users who want to move from one place to another without losing access to necessary resources. It’s time to fully empower your employees to get work done from anywhere, at any time.
The modern workforce also expects the employee experience to match the experiences they are used to in their personal lives, it has to offer always-on mobility. Workforce mobility isn’t just a passing trend, it is a permanent reality. Businesses should embrace it while providing the right infrastructure.
With other fundamentals coming into play such as increasingly connected devices and the growth of contract workers, organizations who enable workforce mobility will be the ones who thrive not just today but also in the future.
