For decades, the possibility of widespread hybrid working – working in a flexible way, between office spaces and remotely – was discussed but never fully took hold. The pandemic changed everything. The new, hybrid working world is one that promises a better balance for employees. According to a recent Citrix survey, 69% of hybrid employees would recommend their employer as a place to work, compared to only 56% of office employees.

 Employees expect radical flexibility and an enhanced work-life balance. They rely on always-on tech that empowers them to work and collaborate with colleagues wherever and whenever they choose. 

But while tech is enabling effective remote-working and hybrid collaboration, there are several challenges still to solve. Flexibility and trust are arguably the key to making long-term hybrid work successful and fulfilling, but this study shows that these are the areas where there is the most work to do. Leaders need to focus on demonstrating empathy, building trust, and providing employees with the flexibility they expect without worrying that this could jeopardize company performance. 


Join us in this session as we discuss: 
-  The four pillars of an effective hybrid workforce, and how to achieve them all
-  What leaders can do to solve people-focused challenges
-  Empathy within the workforce 
-  Understanding employee expectations in a hybrid setting 
-  And much more!

Speakers: 
Safi Obeidullah, Global Head of Value Advisory at Citrix
Leanne Taylor, Chief Operating Officer at Citrix
Christian Gaxiola, General Manager at Bang & Olufsen

The Four Pillars of the New World of Work

Manufacturing is at a crossroads. Traditional manufacturing companies are now being challenged by tech companies and digital-born start-ups in the innovation race. The need to produce more, and faster has never been greater. Operational budgets are decreasing, despite increased investment in innovation; meanwhile productivity and quality targets continue to rise. And with disruption now an ever-present risk, manufacturers are being asked to do all of this while increasing resilience in their supply chains.

In this webinar, Saša Petrović, Digital Strategy Director at Citrix, Patrick Pernegger, Global Director, Digital Workplace at Siemens and Dave Turbide, Specialized Writer, Educator, Consultant at Production Solutions, will discuss how business and IT leaders can navigate the path forward, focusing on three of the hottest topics for manufacturers today:

-  Building smarter supply chains for flexibility, agility and resilience
-  Cybersecurity in a world of distributed ecosystems and connected technologies
-  The role of hybrid and flexible working in talent retention and productivity

Digital First: Transforming Manufacturing for the Age of Agility

According to recent Citrix research, business leaders said COVID 19 was a wake-up call for how unprepared they were when it came to security.

With remote working, it meant the perimeter was gone, corporate data and assets scattered across the cloud and endpoints.  With the boundaries between work and personal life dissolved, the human element of a security threat became even greater.  

So how have organisation recalibrated security priorities?  72% of businesses now feel more secure today than before the pandemic. In a world where organizations globally have reimagined the way they work, from their offices to where they keep their data and assets, it’s no surprise that 79% of security decision makers say the pandemic was an opportunity to rethink long term security strategy. 

But how does this impact employee and user experience? Can we ensure that users and employees remain at the centre of transformation in the security landscape? 

Join us today as we share insights from recent Citrix research on the state of security in a hybrid world. We will discuss: 
-  How prepared are organisations to secure a hybrid workforce
-  Why we can’t separate security and employees
-  How to preserve seamless employee and user experience when rethinking security
-  The future of the digital workspace

IT Security in a Hybrid World: How Secure are You?

Over the last decade, and more recently, we have seen a sizeable evolution in how we work. From office-based roles to legislation driving a flexible workforce. From work-life balance trends to complete remote workers, and now we are grappling with hybrid. We’ve heard them all, and what does hybrid even mean?  
 
On the 13th October Gerard Lavin our Group Technologist is joined by Heather Andrews, Director of Employee Experience and Future of Work at Legal and General who will share her views on the future of work and how L&G have managed the transition to remote and hybrid working in the most engaging way.
 
During this webinar we will:
- Explore the challenges and barriers experienced when making a case for change
- Discuss the shift in organisational and leadership culture needed to make hybrid work
- Debate how to balance security, employee individuality, technology and organisational structure so you can #HaveItAll
 
Join us to gain insight into the enablers that are powering the future of hybrid work and how to manage the constant evolution of cultural change this presents.

How to make hybrid work, work for you

It’s no surprise that hybrid-working is now the norm for so many businesses around the world. In fact, according to a recent Citrix survey, 53% of EMEA and US workers went remote in 2022. The numbers don’t lie; while remote-working was adopted as a short term solution to the disruption caused by the pandemic, hybrid-working is the future. 

Two things can be true at once. The move to hybrid-working is revolutionising the way businesses function, providing greater flexibility for employees and driving productivity. However, since 2020, there has been a 150% increase in the number of ransomware attacks. Leaders must find a balance between enabling employees to work from anywhere, while also reducing the attack surface and mitigating risk. 

Security isn’t the only business priority. Sustainability is a universal priority. Finding a way to reduce energy bills and consumption, extend the lifespan of your devices, reduce waste, and create a positive impact on the environment must be front and centre of key decision making. Finding a way to prioritise security and sustainability with a single solution will create real environmental impact. 

Enter ChromeOS x Citrix. 

In this session we will explore how to combine the need for IT security and sustainability for the modern enterprise, and how to achieve both in equal measure. Join us as we discuss: 

-  Enabling hybrid working and navigating security risk 
-  Why security and sustainability go hand in hand, and how to achieve them both 
-  The benefits of ChromeOS Flex 
-  Where employee wellbeing comes into the equation, and why it should be a top priority
-  And much more!

How To Enable a Modern Digital Workspace

By the end of 2021, 67% of all enterprise infrastructure will be cloud-based (Findstack). Evidently, cloud adoption continues to be a major part of most businesses' roadmap - especially in the last year as employees have become more distributed. As cloud becomes more relevant for today’s organizations, and more businesses are embarking on their cloud journey, what are some of the key security considerations IT teams need to be aware of in the coming months? 

The cloud has a lot to offer, especially for today’s hybrid workforce, but the move can cause some security challenges for your IT teams. Join cloud experts in this session to learn how to navigate these challenges and how to embrace the cloud with privacy, safety and security as essential disciplines.  . We will also discuss: 

-  The value of consistency and resilency when moving to the cloud 
-  Automation in the cloudscape 
-  Why visibility across your entire infrastructure is crucial when moving to the cloud 
-  Finding the perfect cloud vendors for your business
-  The top 3 security considerations when embarking on your cloud journey

Sustaining a Secure Transition to the Cloud

In a post-pandemic world, when many employees have moved out of office spaces and into their own homes for work, workplace trust has never been so crucial. But how can leaders foster a culture of trust while also juggling monitoring employee productivity? How do we draw the line between companies involved in the wellbeing of their employees, and those who impose on their employees private lives? Since the move to hybrid working is there a negative sentiment towards productivity monitoring, and if so, how can leaders shift the narrative away from monitoring and onto measurement? 

Organisations must equip their leaders with the tools and training to be able to measure the productivity of their teams while also prioritizing employee wellbeing. This is where flexibility is critical, and the understanding that people work and achieve in different ways is key. 

Join us as we discuss: 
-  The technology available today to foster workplace trust
-  Productivity monitoring vs productivity measuring
-  Shifting from a culture of control to a culture of trust
-  And more!

Technology Vs Culture: How To Build Workplace Trust

We live in an application and API economy. Applications and APIs are more important than ever before. But are they well protected? 

Cyber-attacks on applications and APIs have been rising. In fact, the software supply chain has been used by APT actors to launch lethal attacks on many organizations simultaneously and remain undetected for months. According to Container Journal, in 2020, 91% of organizations experienced an API security incident, while 66% of organizations admit to API security concerns slowing a product’s deployment. Evidently, poor API security has negative ramifications for your business. But how can this be avoided, and what is needed to ensure that your API security is as strong as possible?

In this session we will explore:
-  Security flaws in legacy applications
-  Blueprint for application and API security powered by ML
-  Best practices based on real-world implementations at Citrix

The speakers for this session will include:
Fermin Serna, CISO, Citrix
Pankaj Gupta, Sr. Director, Product Marketing, Citrix
