Hybrid working. Everyone's jumping on board, but how can we face the challenges in this changing economy? These professionals have an idea or two.
Hybrid work can be a complex balancing act, requiring workers and managers to navigate the benefits and challenges of both remote and office-based work. In the current climate, senior leaders face a new challenge.
The rapid growth of hybrid work, combined with the state of the global economy, has created an environment where managers and teams are often at loggerheads over the need to spend time in the office.
On top of that, the need for ever higher IT budgets to support technology refreshes and defend against new threats is adding even more pressure on the CIO.
Join Microsoft and Computing, along with special guests, to discuss these issues at a half-day event at The Royal Institute, London, on 29th June.
