COVID-19 gave workplaces no choice but to modify their office structure to allow their employees to work from home while maintaining business growth. This is now the norm, with at least 50% of employees working 100% from home.[1] Embracing this change requires an increase in devices to cater to each employee’s home office so that they can work effectively.

What a wild year it’s been. Among a host of other things, working from home is now a standardised practice for a lot of workers and businesses across Australia. Although workers will eventually return to the office, numbers suggest it will be much more of a hybrid-arrangement based on flexibility and personal preference. Gartner recently reported that pre-pandemic, 30% of employees were likely to work remotely some of the time, but post-pandemic that number looks like rising close to half with 48% of employees looking for a flexible arrangement.  

Technology has transformed the classroom and made paper notebooks and chalkboards a thing of the past. But when it comes to choosing solutions for students, not all devices are created equal.

The shift to anytime-anywhere work has been gaining momentum for years, but grew exponentially in 2020 as COVID-19 made remote work the new normal. While the pandemic itself may be slowing down, the way we work and collaborate has undoubtedly changed forever.
