Today’s young employees are the engines of the knowledge economy and tomorrow’s business leaders. And according to The Born Digital Effect, the latest research from Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS), they’re primed to deliver an extra $1.9 trillion in corporate profits. However, they’ll need some help to pull it off.

Millennial and Gen Z employees will be in C-Level positions by 2035 (or sooner), so it is crucial that leaders consider what engages and motivates this segment of the workforce, in order to unlock their fullest potential. 

But this research suggests leaders are out of touch and operating on old assumptions, potentially wasting time and resources to deliver an experience that isn’t meeting the needs or wants of this group. 
These gaps must be proactively managed for organizations to thrive.  But how can leaders build an employee experience to suit the needs of their diverse workforce, and what does the future of the workforce look like?

Join us in this session as we discuss: 
-  The expectations of the Born Digital workforce 
- The generational divide and what to do about it
- Creating an organizational culture for a generation that has never worked in the office

Born Digital: How Gen Y & Z are Redefining Today’s Workforce

The New Workspace Episode 10

Wellness, and more specifically digital wellness, has become very topical in the last year. As employees become more distributed, and working from home becomes the new ‘normal’, efforts to improve mental health and employee wellness have become ever more important. A recent Citrix survey revealed that 97% of respondents agree that digital wellness solutions are necessary for strengthening and preserving company culture. In fact, bolstering company culture, reducing burnout, and remaining competitive in retaining and recruiting talent, are some of the main driving factors behind the development of digital wellness initiatives. 
 
In the wellness space, it’s vital that leaders ask themselves some important questions. What is the human cost of increased productivity? How do you measure employee wellness? How to remain competitive and push employees to be their best, while also avoiding burnout and promoting wellness? 
 
In this series, we have looked at employee experience, and how to operationalize EX strategies. In this episode however, we’ll be going a little deeper, and picking apart the foundations of your people strategy to demonstrate the innate value of digital wellness in the digital age. 
 
Join this session as we discuss:
-  Strategies to build digital wellness 
-  How to maintain engagement and social connection 
-  How technology can be a great asset in the wellness space 
-  And more

A Guide To Digital Wellness: Avoiding Burn Out in the Digital Age

The New Workspace Episode 3

Operationalizing employee experience has always been important. A good employee experience (EX) pushes employees to do their best work, and has a direct impact on your business. In a recent survey by Citrix, 43% of employees surveyed had seen better employee experience lead to improved productivity, and more than 30% said EX led to improved profitability and better customer satisfaction. 

Leaders must prioritise EX, particularly when there has been such a strain on the workforce as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. As the workforce grapples with the new world of work, there has never been a more important time to operationalize EX. Leaders must secure the digital workspace, encourage collaboration across departments, and simplify workflows. However, EX is more than just deploying a new piece of technology or implementing a new process. To build the right EX you need to start with a clear understanding of the needs of employees and that’s where leveraging methodologies like design thinking are gaining popularity.

While the reasons to focus on EX are clear, many organizations struggle with how to operationalize EX strategies. The two key challenges are cultural and technological. Both culture and technology are key to improving employee experience, but leaders must leverage them in the correct way. 

So, how can leadership teams overcome challenges, and execute and define an EX strategy? Join us as we discuss:
-  How to execute and operationalize EX
-  The main challenges facing EX efforts, and how to overcome them
-  The future of EX

The New Workspace Episode 8

In the last year, the corporate world has seen a huge shift. Entire workforces were forced to adapt to remote working overnight, and we are still coming to terms with the extent of this shift now. But what does the world of work look like 12 months on, and what are the business implications of these changes?
 
The move to remote work has catapulted many organisations into digital transformation, and as businesses do become more digital, business agility improves. An estimated $44.4 billion has been saved in commuting costs, and leaders are prioritising employee wellness in a way we’ve never seen before. With immense change impacting the fabric of the working world, it is vital to consider the fundamental shifts and the business benefits they can bring to your organisation. For example, digital transformation and the move to the cloud.
 
Looking forward, the likelihood is that many organisations will embrace a hybrid model, with employees balancing their time between remote and office based work. So, how does this change the nature of the physical office; how do you facilitate collaboration and maintain engagement with employees that are both in the office and remote.
 
There are many layers to the impact of Covid on the world of work, and in this episode we’ll explore what the office looks like in a post-Covid world. 
 
Join this session as we discuss: 
-  The business and economic benefits of remote working
-  What does the physical office of the future look like?
-  The long term impact of flexible and remote work
-  The business benefits of these changes

The Remote Workforce 12 Months On: Is The Office Dead?

Recent Citrix research shows that understanding what motivates and keeps the Born Digitals of today’s workforce engaged is not only important from a talent acquisition and retention perspective but it also gives organisations a competitive edge that presents significant revenue advantages. 

The pandemic humanised the workforce through technology and has demonstrated that tech can keep teams connected, but how do we ensure we retain the human element going forwards with a mix of remote, office-based and hybrid workers?

During this webinar, we are joined by leading generational expert Eliza Filby to discuss the findings of our research and what it means to business leaders today, particularly in the post-pandemic, new hybrid work environment. Join us to hear:
• What drives Born digital and Gen Z generations
• How technology can we bridge generational gaps, bring people together and create a sense of belonging
•	How do we ensure we retain the human element to onboarding, training and managing our young workforce
•	How do we avoid technology overload
•	How should we be measuring productivity

Listen to our panel as they offer advice, best practice and examples of how successful business leaders are implementing technology that allows humans to do what they do best and are using AI to do the rest.

Sustainability – and the technology that makes it possible – is becoming increasingly important to universities. There is an expectation that sustainability ranks highly on the list of priorities for every university as students believe they should take more responsibility. In fact, our survey showed 45% of students factor a university’s sustainability ranking when making their decision to apply. 

Gerard Lavin (Field CTO at Citrix) is joined by a panel of educational experts and thought leaders for an interactive discussion around sustainability and what it means to university leaders today.

Hear their views on how sustainability is shaping:
• Technology decisions and the delivery of boundaryless education
• Greater responsibility in supply chains and procurement
• A cultural shift in remote learning and the strategies they’re adopting
• The syllabus and student expectations at many universities

Education driving a new era of sustainability

As sustainability becomes a bigger priority - both at Government level and in the business world - organisations are coming under greater pressure to reduce their carbon emissions. Those organisations who are taking the steps to be more sustainable often do it in a corporate way, to meet quotas and look better from the outside. But there is much to be gained from being more sustainable, and it goes way beyond outside pressures.  For planet or profit? We’re at the stage now where the distinction almost doesn’t matter any more. Sustainability is a critical consideration for organisations of all sizes. So, what’s your next move?   Today, organisations have a role to play not only in actions like decent work and economic growth, but in sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, and industry, innovation and infrastructure.  Only 6% of all data ever created is in use today. The other 94% is sitting in a vast “cyber landfill,” creating a massive carbon footprint. But what can your organisation do to reap the business rewards, be greener and meet outside pressures? From cloud migration, to extending the life cycle of devices and bringing your own device to work, there is a lot you can do to implement sustainability in your business.  Join us in this session as we discuss: - Where the greatest pressure to be sustainable is coming from - The business benefits of moving to more sustainable IT solutions - How to create sustainable change within your organisation

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

The New Workspace Episode 1

2020 was an intense year for security professionals. The shift to remote working uncovered unforeseen vulnerabilities and called for more stringent security solutions. Distributed workers meant distributed data, and security professionals had to find a balance between enabling wide-scale access to private data, and protecting their organisations from new threats. 

However, as we move into 2021, it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any easier for the security world. According to a recent Citrix survey. 93% of US and European business leaders believe cybercrime and big data breaches will present a significant risk to organisations over the next 15 years. But what are these risks, and how can you best prepare your organisation to tackle them?

In this episode, we’ll take a look at what we have learned from security in 2020, and how we are using these lessons to inform security strategies over the next few years. 
Join us as we discuss: 
-  The top security predictions for 2021
-  Security lessons from 2020, and how 2020 changed security forever
-  The future of security, and what to expect going forward

Top Security Predictions for 2021

With the haste to roll out additional technology to support remote work and an expectation for employees to rapidly adopt that technology, there can be complaints and consequences as it relates to tech adoption.

Quartz research points to three key consequences:

•	Productivity distractions – constant pings from colleagues and context switching between apps
•	Perpetual connectivity – the need to be “always on”
•	Decision fatigue – an overwhelming array of tools and systems

Each of these consequences of tech adoption can weigh on the emotional well-being of teams. So much so that 67% of Quartz research respondents believe being “always-on” has a significant negative impact on their health and wellbeing. Over time, this leads to burnout. 

The good news is, with the right leadership and the right technology, these consequences can be avoided or overcome.

So what is the role of IT in digital wellness?  At the height of the pandemic, IT teams were the true heroes, keeping the workforce productive in a time of uncertainty.  But where should IT teams be focusing now?
With hybrid working set to continue, how can IT best support workers to remain not just productive, but balanced in an ‘always on’ world.  

During this webinar hear from Brian Solis, Global Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce and author, including his latest book focused on digital wellness - LifeSCALE: How to Live a More Creative, Productive, and Happy Life.  Solis will share his thoughts on the consequences of constantly being interrupted with the plethora of platforms we rely on, and the role of IT to help find a balance in a digital world.  

Gerald Lavin,  Product Strategist at Citrix will share how a digital workspace can support digital wellness by limiting distractions and automating work, as well as showcasing some of the microapps you can leverage to help your workforce work smarter, not longer.

Digital Wellness for a Remote Workforce and the Role of IT.

The importance of hybrid working without compromising security has increased significantly over the last 12 months. Providing users with a consistent workplace experience when moving between home and the office and delivering a solid security solution across these working scenarios, is challenging. 
Seventy-two percent of organisations plan to roll out zero trust models to mitigate the security risks associated with hybrid working. But zero trust takes more than flipping a switch—if employees don’t buy in to your security strategy, it will not succeed. 
Join us on June 10 when we’ll cover all things SASE, deciphering where ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) is applicable and take a closer look at the human side of a Zero Trust framework—and how to empower employees to make smarter security decisions.
