The past year has seen a lot of monumental changes that will continue to be felt by organizations and individual employees alike for years to come. The global pandemic forced a shift in the workforce and workplace from all standpoints, spanning company culture to the tech we use to physical workplace and meeting space design. With newly flexible and hybrid policies, companies are rethinking their tech stack and ways they support their teams with the newfound considerations that come with having hybrid employees. 

Companies of all shapes, sizes, and industries are now navigating the return to office to the best of their abilities, determining the best course forward for their teams. Organization leaders are making decisions every day regarding the future of their employees and their office space, and what it means for IT teams. 

One common theme for all companies this year? Embracing hybrid technology. The biggest driver for IT budget increases of small businesses in 2021 is the need to upgrade IT infrastructure.

Now, companies are wondering, Will they downsize their headquarters completely in an effort to fully embrace remote work? Will they take this as an opportunity to expand their physical space in order to safely welcome every single one of their employees back into the office with open arms? If you’re like the majority of businesses around the world, you’re landing somewhere in the vast hybrid space in between.

However companies choose to return, to set teams up for success no matter where they’re located, leadership and management teams need to work hand in hand with their IT department to orchestrate a smooth transition. Comprehensive technology and hybrid workspaces have long been two sides of the same innovative coin. Rewiring the office to support the return of newly hybrid and flexible employees will require teams to tap into their new workplace needs and expectations in order to provide them with the tools and workspaces they require to continue producing high quality work.

Whether organizations have embraced the hybrid way of life for years now or recent events have forced them to introduce hybrid elements into their company, there’s going to be a period of transition for everyone.
