Work is now digital and mobile, posing new challenges for employees that collaborate digitally across boundaries and locations. How can businesses develop a supportive digital workplace that encourages teamwork and drives productivity?

Productive Workplace from Anywhere, for Everyone

When you hear the word "workplace," what comes to mind? A physical space, most likely an office, or someone sitting at their kitchen table or on the couch, laptop, and smartphone in hand. COVID19 has shown that employees don't have to be physically present to work collaboratively, nor does working from home pose an insuperable barrier to productivity.

Nevertheless, physical facilities and their technology enablers should not be considered as ancient history. Given sufficient safety precautions, employees will be back in offices. So, this is an excellent time for organizations to re-think about using technology more effectively and supporting the new working models in the post-COVID-19 world. This shift has also compelled businesses to shift to technology-enabled remote working that includes the components of virtual workspaces, reliable connectivity, remote-friendly support, secure data access, security, and compliance. While working from home increases productivity and brings lots of benefits, it does create new challenges, it can lead to increase in isolation and lesser engagement.

To ensure smooth functioning in the “new normal” and the “next to normal”, organizations need to ask themselves these key questions:

• How to move towards building a resilient workplace, while considering people’s experiences and wellbeing?
• As they develop improved digital workplace strategies, how can they measure success?
• Are my employees upskilled ?
• Are they dexterous enough to make the best use of technology?
• Are they getting better experience vis-à-vis working from the office?
• Do my employees feel engaged enough to be at their productive best?
• What are those key measurable components of a digital workplace strategy?
• What does the workplace look like going forward from a future of work perspective?
