BUSINESS BRIEFING 01732 759725 36 Kathryn Vassilissin, Vendor Finance, SFS UK Clearly, the future is hybrid when it comes to the world of work. One recently published survey1 neatly sums up the way the world is going. It tells us that:– n 76% of respondents confirmed that their companies shifted to a hybrid working model n 63% of respondents claim that their companies have not made any significant changes to their workplaces to adapt it to this new way of working n 46% of respondents revealed that there are no restrictions on coming and going to the office at this time n Employees are mostly required to come to the office 3-4 days a week n 26% of employees said they missed meeting their teams face-to-face when asked about why they like going to the office. Selling in a hybrid environment Hybrid solutions According to analyst Quocirca2, To unlock the benefits of hybrid working, extending managed print services (MPS) to the home environment will ensure that organisations can manage and secure a hybrid and agile print infrastructure. As organisations accelerate their digitisation initiatives, flexible and scalable integrated print and capture solutions will be key to driving employee productivity. Isn’t it extraordinary how much the world of office technology has changed in the last two years? And it looks set to keep doing so across 2022. We have spent two years in the office… not in the office… back in the office again, the jury is still out on where the eventual balance will land.
