One thing is certain from the last 18 months; the workplace as we know it will never be the same again. The move to hybrid working had uncovered many areas of improvement for the corporate office, the digital workspace, and leadership as a whole. But as we see the continuation of the hybrid workplace, what tools and technologies do leaders need to scale infrastructure and deliver a first-class employee experience? 

Leaders must be able to reconsider technology and leadership style in order to foster a productive and successful hybrid workforce, especially when according to Gartner’s Making Hybrid Work More Permanent? Set Some Ground Rules reports that in 2022, 45% of the global knowledge workforce will be working from home two to three days per week. How can leaders ensure that those working remotely stay as involved and included as those who have returned to the office? What long term solutions have worked, and what hasn’t? How can we improve communication and collaboration across the whole organization? Organizations are evolving to change in the workplace, and leaders have a lot of questions about the future on their minds. 

Join us in this session as we answer these questions and discuss: 
-  The technology needed to improve communication and collaboration 
-  How to align your communication and collaboration to ensure a consistent customer experience
-  Tips on how to have a culture of inclusion that supports every type of employee, from fully remote to hybrid and office-based 
-  Reducing video fatigue amongst employees to improve productivity and efficiency
-  New skills and leadership styles needed from future hires 
-  Digital transformation in the physical and virtual workplace

Improving Employee Experience in the Hybrid Workforce

In 2024, cloud spending is projected to be 14.2% of the total global enterprise IT spending market, compared to the 9.1% it was in 2020 according to Gartner. Supporting a remote workforce means managing large amounts of data across an increasing number of networks.  The benefits of a successful cloud migration program are clear, but it’s vital that organisations understand their move to the cloud and can navigate the adoption process on their own terms and at a comfortable pace. 

Organisations that have migrated to cloud benefit from lower costs, economic efficiency and faster deployment. While these benefits are tempting, it can be daunting to decide which cloud model is right for you. When it comes to efficient cloud migration, it’s important to choose the right solution for your business. Choosing a solution that is flexible, reliable and secure are important priorities on your cloud journey. 

Join this webinar to learn:
-  Which Cloud platform is right for you, and which solution is best for your business
-  How outsourcing communications to a trusted advisor can make your migration to cloud painless and stress-free
-  How data-driven insights can help you determine which cloud model is right for your organization
-  How to navigate the next steps on your cloud journey

Cloud Migration Checklist: What’s Right for You

In 2020, we learned the importance of flexible communications. Post-pandemic, we’re looking at no real defined physical boundaries as companies move to hybrid working and continuing to embrace technology to make it work for both the employer and employee. 

At the heart and centre it should all be about people and making sure that regardless of what happens in your company’s life, your people can continue to do their jobs from anywhere. They can communicate with one another, they can collaborate together, and they can work on processes and workflows without any interruption.

Join us to understand how can technology enable you to adapt, innovate and thrive post-pandemic?

Hybrid Happiness: How technology can ensure you continue to thrive post-pandemic

According to Gartner, IT spending is set to increase by 4.9% in 2021. Last year, businesses rushed to facilitate remote working. Moving forward, they will have to reassess the state of their operations and internal communications strategies to empower the remote workforce and respond to an increasingly demanding online customer base.

As Cloud adoption increases IT modernization, some companies may not yet feel ready to take the jump. Even if you are not prepared for full cloud migration, you can still invest in your infrastructure to better prepare yourself for a move to Cloud whilst remaining On Premise. Regardless of your levels of preparedness for cloud migration, it’s essential to choose the right solution for your business needs.

The global health crisis forced organizations around the world to shift from office to remote work from home rapidly. At the Texas Rangers baseball team, this transformation took place overnight.

Business leaders are experiencing unforeseen struggles in the face of the coronavirus pandemic – it has not, nor will be the only crisis to manage through. The current environment has forced millions of office workers into work-at-home situations, and with countries addressing these needs in various ways, the future is uncertain. As businesses struggle to maintain continuity with a workforce delivering their work in distracting and volatile environments, the move to remote working is one that has uncovered significant gaps in IT Strategy and organizations, especially for SMBs.  These short and long-term communications and collaboration problems must be solved to ensure organizations’ operational survival. ​ 

This webinar covers: 
- Business crisis transition from reaction to recovery 
- Where HR meets technology - people, process, technology and coaching  
- Key practices to support business continuity during workforce shift 
- How the right communications system can support your business needs in crisis and beyond  

HR and IT can leverage technology to support business continuity through crisis, while preparing to thrive in recovery.

Powering Connections Through Crisis - Business Continuity in an Uncertain Time

Inefficient communication comes with a high cost for modern businesses. Every unseen email or unanswered voicemail represents a waste of time and resources - and when the message involves customer satisfaction, the losses directly affects the bottom line.

It’s crucial that businesses modernize and consolidate their communication channels. This is especially true in the post-pandemic environment: Remote and hybrid workforces need to communicate and collaborate more effectively, and customers need an excellent experience across channels.  The goal is continuity in business communication not bound by location — a seamless conversation across chat, phone, voicemail, email, and more.

It takes strategic planning to successfully migrate to a new model of business communication — both in terms of budgeting and in adapting the business to make the most of the technology investment.

This webinar aims to help mid-sized businesses plan and execute a successful communication evolution, considering all we’ve learned during the pandemic, and the latest advances in technology. We’ll feature insight from industry expert Sally Eaves and practical advice from Jamshid Rezaei, EVP of IT & CIO of Mitel, on upgrading your business comms strategy to save time, money and sanity.

Register now to learn:
-How to evaluate your communication needs as a business
-How to strategically plan a migration
-Best practices for successful implementation and adoption in remote and hybrid workforces
-How to build continuity throughout your channels of communication
