The nature of work has changed. Employees expect to work securely from anywhere, on any device. When their productivity tools enhance the quality and effectiveness of their work experience, they’re happier, more valuable, and more likely to stay. Companies need to provide that empowerment, but they also need to protect vital IT assets.
The Freedom to Work From Anywhere
One of the greatest lessons of the past few years is that offices are not completely necessary. A hybrid working environment allows employees to do their jobs from anywhere—coffee shops, a home office, or at the kids' sport practice.
A functional, secure IT system provides employees with the same capabilities they would have in the office regardless of location. This results in three important benefits: happier employees who enjoy a flexible workplace, higher productivity, and better team engagement.
Microsoft supports a hybrid workplace through state-of-the-art file sharing and storage tools plus dynamic communication to encourage collaboration, connect diverse employees, and deliver an in-office experience from anywhere.
Best-in-Class Cybersecurity
Technology has to be protected. Phishing, personal device breaches, and malware are growing risks to businesses, and even a simple data breach could have long-lasting consequences.
Cybersecurity is such an important issue for all businesses, regardless of their industry, that Microsoft prioritizes best-in-class business tools for dynamic data security. This includes multi-factor authentication, zero-trust networks, and enterprise-level cybersecurity platforms such as Microsoft Defender. Even limited cybersecurity strategies can be fully based on Microsoft tools, reducing risk and allowing a quick recovery in the event of a breach.
Employees Empowered with the Latest Technology
Technology should always be an asset, never a hindrance. If your people dread using certain programs because those programs are difficult or tedious, productivity and morale suffer.
Employees are most effective when they can take complete ownership of their work and add value to what they do. Modern tools make that happen. These tools create a favourable environment free from frustrations and distracting workarounds that undermine productivity.
Employees are meant to use technology, not avoid it, and this is a key difference between a workplace that stays rooted in traditional processes and one that is truly modern.
