Just as reliable connectivity is the lifeblood of the Internet of Things (as we write about often over on IoT Evolution World), it’s also super safe to say that “an engaged workforce is the lifeblood of successful organizations.” (As Greg Tavarez wrote right here on Future of Work.) Ensuring that employees are provided access to myriad high-quality (and user-friendly) tools and resources is a vital part of sustainable workplace investment.
But just as the “what” or “how” an evolving workplace operates, the “where” of it is obviously of major importance, as well.
The COVID-19 pandemic supercharged what’s considered to be the “modern” or “new normal” remote/hybrid work model, but years later we’re seeing that many businesses are finding it harder and harder to manage. Just look at the recent slews of return-to-office mandates being signaled by executives; what are the concerns rooted in? Productivity? Cost cuts? Trust?
We suspect that we’ll still be asking these questions several more years down the road.
Thankfully, however, there are thought leaders with their own interesting takes regarding how we actually can resolve these matters in the short term and the long term, alike.
At Future of Work Expo 2025 — taking place from February 11-13, 2025, at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — one of the many sessions attendees will want to join is titled “Evolving Workspaces and Adapting to New Ways of Working.” This will be held on Wednesday, February 12, 2025 from 12:00-12:45 PM, and the session’s panelists will dive into several pertinent sub-topics:
- The comforts of remote work aren’t likely to change easily, let alone be relinquished, wholesale. How should today’s business leaders take moments to pause? What should they rethink?
- Crucial technology-centric decisions must continue to be made in order to secure the countless devices and platforms that both work-from-home and hybrid employees rely upon, each having its own distinct needs. What are the top priorities when breaching such decisioning? (e.g. uniform security protocols, business-grade connectivity, etc.)
- Where can balances be struck? How should workers’ voices of course remain heard, while industries at large are simultaneously changing (thereby potentially necessitating workforce-oriented compromises?)
This session will focus on dissecting such sub-topics under this “evolving with adaptive workspaces” umbrella, and this will segue well into many other sessions also taking place at the show.
