FEATURE : REMOTE WORKING put into place a system which businesses can reap many benefits . Firstly , the acceptance and adoption of new technology ,” he said . “ The speed at which this was put into place ensured that the normal employee resistance which one would have otherwise experience was not possible due to the circumstances in which the new business requirements were put into place . Productivity has been rising and this helps businesses and encourages them to strengthen their future growth plans .”
Vaidy Panchabikesan , Regional Sales Director , Kissflow , said the talent landscape has shifted quite a bit in the last 24 months . Panchabikesan said the opportunity to work remotely has given employees not just more time with family , but also time to do deep work over blocks of undisturbed time . “ Over 70 % of workers want flexible remote work options to continue , but over 65 % are craving more in-person time with their teams because they have become more siloed and digital exhaustion is a real and unsustainable threat . So , a thoughtful approach to hybrid work will be critical for attracting and retaining diverse talent pool ,” he remarked .
