With the Pandemic ensuing turbulence on work life for the past 15 months, a return to pre-pandemic office life is becoming a more frequent discussion these days.

However, it’s suggested that buzz words such as ‘hybrid’ and ‘flexible’ working will still be around for a long while…

With the mass becoming remote workers throughout the pandemic, it doesn’t mean the end of the physical office is upon us. Predictions are that offices will become more hub-based locations for remote workers to meet and collaborate, which means technology will become key to success. These tech-centred spaces will require the usual suspects (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc) paired with hardware that makes the workspaces interactive and connectable. This switch in working dynamic will require seamless working between locations to ensure productivity is never compromised.

The GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, which came into effect May 2018, has drastically transformed the digital landscape.

Chances are, it has also affected how your workplace secures paper data, handles cybersecurity, and protects user information. 

But when it comes to remote work, employees are left guessing. In fact, HRZone’s 2020 report on HR trends found that 57% of employers didn’t have a formal remote work policy.*

So how does the GDPR apply to remote workers? Can you even remain compliant while working from home? This is what we’ll answer in this short post. 

The concept of digital transformation has many components but put simply, it is fundamentally deploying the use of technology to change the way people do things to streamline efficiencies.

Digital transformation was a buzzy trend before the COVID-19 pandemic, but it has had a resurgence of interest in light of the changes to the workplace in 2020 with organisations adopting new digital tools and process to better support remote work.

With the last 12 months totally changing the way we work; flexible working has now become a hot topic within the workplace.

When schools around the world went into lock down earlier this year, the individuals responsible for servicing their on-campus technology infrastructure faced a monumental challenge, with absolutely no notice: virtualizing learning environments and classrooms to maintain education and enable students to continue their development from home.

The challenges have likely been the biggest faced by these institutions and IT teams, as they have not only needed to equip and train educators in delivering classes and curriculum virtually, but also enable students around countries to securely access these classes and learning management systems. Thankfully, collaboration hardware and software organizations have also reacted rapidly to enhance virtual learning environments. But, there are still many considerations in the digital transformation of the educational experience.
