The global workplace is experiencing a significant decline in employee engagement following the pandemic, dropping from 23% to 21% as noted by Gallup. This decline is prompting companies to rethink their workforce strategies, particularly regarding return-to-office mandates, which might hinder employees' preparedness for future remote work. To bolster resilience amid evolving work patterns, businesses are encouraged to adopt digital-first security strategies, including technologies that enhance security and adapt to changing workforce dynamics. There's a clear tension between engagement and operational readiness that needs addressing for future success.
Forcing employees to return full-time may reduce their remote readiness during unexpected events, causing them to lose confidence and effective practices developed during successful remote work.
In shifting workforce strategies, companies must strengthen resilience while balancing return-to-office mandates, remote work, and hybrid models. This calls for a digital-first approach.
