Research reveals 88 % of employees don ’ t want to return to pre-pandemic work paradigms
Braintree announces Azure KickStart for SMEs
Braintree , the Microsoft consulting and integration division of Vox , has announced the introduction of Azure KickStart , a scalable packaged cloud solution that allows small to medium businesses to embark on a cloud journey .
Data shows that lockdown regulations and economic pressures have led to organisations of all sizes downscaling their offices as they let employees work remotely . For small and micro enterprises , this poses a challenge in terms of providing employees with access to their files and applications stored on a server in the office and in managing their onpremise equipment .
Heath Huxtable , Executive Head at Braintree , said : “ This is a clear example of how important it has become for organisations to embrace a remote working strategy by digitising their business processes and ensuring they can be securely accessed from any device from anywhere and at any time .
“ This solution provides them with both the software platform as well as the advice and support that small businesses need in order to begin the shift .”
New global research commissioned by Kaspersky of 8,000 SMB workers across multiple industries has revealed that almost three quarters of employees ( 88 %) want to re-think pre-COVID-19 ways of working .
Instead of returning to business as usual , workers worldwide are now shaping a future of business on their terms , whether that ’ s spending more time with loved ones ( 47 %), saving money ( 41 %) or working remotely ( 41 %).
In casting off the shackles of previously rigid job routines , employees are rethinking the next normal for work , inspiring more agile , accommodating and humane work cultures . Moving forward , almost two in five workers ( 45 %) want to leave behind the 9 – 5 working structure . A similar number ( 40 %) are ready to see the back of fixed office desks and around a third ( 39 %) want to end the five-day working week .
The research also highlighted that nearly a third ( 47 %) of employees see remote working as the third greatest benefit which comes as a by-product of the novel Coronavirus , after spending time with family ( 41 %) and saving money ( 41 %).
