The rise of remote work is not surprising given its many benefits, but in spite of the fact that this is the case it has caused a number of serious problems as well. The lack of official equipment and devices that these workers can use is risky because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up exposing their employers to cyber attacks. While 78% of decision makers in the IT space claim that they have done all they were supposed to, workers beg to differ, as per Canon.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that 20% of remote workers are still using their own devices to get work done. A similar proportion also stated that they have a hard time getting remote support for their IT related issues. 43% said that they have trouble accessing important documents remotely, and 36% said that they were not able to share files with their coworkers which makes collaboration more difficult than might have been the case otherwise.
81% of IT decision makers want to be able to work with a single vendor. 71% are forced to work with multiple vendors which causes countless complications. ITDMs are expecting an increase in their budgets to meet the rising demand of remote work, and that might help to bridge the gap between what hybrid workers need and what they end up receiving.
With around half of all workers saying that their offices are moving towards a hybrid work format, it is essential that decision makers start to address their needs. A third are still working entirely from the office, but that might change in the coming years.
The difficulties surrounding basic tasks are hampering the growth of hybrid and remote work, and that will make it challenging for companies to keep up with the times. Productivity can be maintained through hybrid work, but that’s only possible if the IT departments hold up their end. Remote support will be a core component of this trend moving forward.
