“Now more than ever, companies must focus on enabling and empowering people to deliver their very best work in the most productive and efficient ways possible. Businesses have a new choice to meet their most critical business needs on-demand. ”
Research shows businesses are increasingly moving to more remote and flexible workforces. According to Gartner, nearly a quarter of CFOs said they will move at least 20% of their on-site employees to permanent remote positions. But as workforces go remote, ensuring the right collaborative technology and security remain top of mind for executives. PwC’s COVID-19 CFO pulse survey reveals close to half of executives anticipate that a lack of remote work capabilities will lead to productivity loss, and 19% expect insufficient staffing to result in an inability to accomplish critical work.
