With collaboration largely taken care of, companies are looking at how workplace tech can support broader goals, such as sustainability.
Enterprises are rethinking what technology can do for them in the long term, beyond the daily support already taking place.
“What we’re seeing now is a very fundamental shift,” Sharad Rastogi, president of JLL Technologies, said. “The pandemic is not over, but for all practical purposes it is over in terms of how people are behaving and working.”
For tech leaders leading change, a plan is necessary.
Implementing technology for technology’s sake is not the way to go, according to Rastogi. Businesses need to think strategically about how the technology they implement will enable them to reach their long term goals.
“There are multiple sets of steps which need to happen, so I think the most innovative companies are the ones who are going to be able to formulate the right strategy all the way down to execution,” Rastogi said.
One of the biggest challenges for businesses moving forward will be finding the right talent for the job.
Tech skills are still in demand as the candidate pool becomes shallower. In September, there were 302,000 tech jobs to fill while the tech unemployment rate dipped to 2.1%, according to a CompTIA review of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics published last week.
