U.S. Labor Department statistics show the era of the hybrid workforce is far from over. Despite rising percentages of workers returning to the office in the post-pandemic period, some segments of the nation’s economy remain heavily hybrid—or fully remote.

According to The Wall Street Journal, federal studies indicate:

  • More than 67% of companies in the information sector, which includes media and technology firms, support hybrid staff.
  • The share of hybrid arrangements among organizations in the professional and business services sector, which includes law and accounting firms, is nearly half.
  • Overall, the number of businesses that moved to a totally remote workforce in 2022 rose slightly.

While the balance of remote vs. in-office workers will vary among businesses and industries, some level of cloud computing that enables working securely from anywhere at any time is now standard IT for organizations of every type and size.

But how do you know what level of cloud services is optimal for your team? To discover the best fit, we recommend a cloud assessment that considers:

  • Cybersecurity measures
  • Network bandwidth
  • Application performance
  • Data management
  • Business continuity/disaster recovery procedures

A finely tuned, properly managed cloud strategy not only helps hybrid staff stay productive, but it can help keep customers satisfied, vendors connected and all your operations humming.
