There has been a rapid and drastic shift in many industries to a hybrid workforce - a mixture of onsite and remote personnel.  According to many projections this trend will continue to grow throughout the next couple years.  By 2024, many believe that 56% of the work done will be offsite (AT&T via prnewswire).  They also suggest that 72% of businesses are underprepared and don’t have a solid hybrid work strategy.

Add to this the mounting pressure to provide a remote option in order to attract talent during a hiring shortage, and it becomes a real headache.  Microsoft recently referred to this as “The Next Great Disruption” (microsoft.com)  One of the many aspects that can present a challenge is the technology infrastructure.  The pandemic forced many businesses into quick action with less than optimal “band-aid” solutions.  But now that this is looking less like a temporary situation, it may be time to re-evaluate and reimagine your workplace going forward.
