During the height of the pandemic, a Stanford study discovered that nearly half (42%) of U.S. workers were working from home, accounting for more than two-thirds of the nation’s economic activity.

In the two years since, many workers returned to company facilities—but not full-time. A recent McKinsey & Company study found the following:

  • Nearly six in 10 (58%) respondents reported working from home at least one day a week
  • Another 35% said they work remotely the entire week
  • Only 13% responded that they’re allowed to work remotely but choose not to do so

The survey underscored today’s business reality: Hybrid working environments where time is mixed between home and the office are the business standard. What are the essentials for supporting hybrid workers? We’ve developed three basic checklists:

High Availability

  • Comprehensive remote work policies and procedures
  • Business continuity and disaster recovery plans
  • Remote monitoring and management

High Security

  • Cybersecurity awareness training for remote workers
  • VPN setup and management
  • Multifactor authentication (MFA)

High Collaboration

  • Business-class internet service
  • Cloud-enabled file sharing
  • Video conferencing services

Making each bullet happen takes time, experience and expertise. We can deliver all three. Call for a consultation.
