The way we work has been evolving for several years, no longer is a job 9 to 5 and conducted out of an office revolving around the desk you occupy. In the modern world, the expectation is that everything is available 24/7 and as workers we have an expectation that we can do this from anywhere, at any time, securely and performantly.

A vital component of any successful business is enabling employees to collaborate from anywhere. In the new digital workspace with employees split across office and home environments, effective collaboration needs to be seamless across every working space. Employees need to feel that they can communicate with each other at any time, from anywhere. It is not, however, an easy task, and to succeed, businesses must address the tears in the already stretched fabric of collaboration.

The move to remote working during the pandemic tested security teams to the limit as they rushed to support a borderless workforce with makeshift infrastructures. The effects of this rapid change in working environments are still being felt today, with 94% of CIOs concerned about serious security threats over the next 12 months with data breaches (47%), malware and ransomware (39%) and lack of staff awareness (30%) noted as key areas of concern.

While 94% of CIOs acknowledge some form of serious threat over the next 12 months, only 27% list business continuity and resilience as a top-three priority during the next 12 months and barely a third cite risk mitigation as a measure of performance. These findings come from the fourth and concluding section of the 2021 Global CIO Survey from Logicalis, a global provider of IT solutions.

Logicalis, Cisco and Microsoft discuss the impact of diversity and inclusion on business success.

Organisations need to transform their vision and leadership strategies to address the talent crisis while enabling an inclusive future for all.

The workplace prior to the pandemic is unrecognisable to what it has become today. The rise of remote working and a younger digitally native workforce, is shaking up traditional business structures. Many organisations are still adapting their workspaces to cope and in some instances need to overhaul their approach to work entirely.

The modern workplace is an increasingly complex environment, and for many is now split between the office and remote work. For businesses to succeed in this new world, they must address some of the common challenges associated with a hybrid workforce and adapt to provide a digital workplace fit for the future.
