New Cisco-commissioned research issued today reveals forward-looking lessons for IT and business leaders as they navigate their return to office strategies. The findings are covered in a report, “A New Perspective on the Modern Workplace”.
The research upon which the report is based was designed and executed by IT industry analyst firm Freeform Dynamics. The input was gathered via three separate, but linked, studies spanning the pre-pandemic to the mid-pandemic period (late 2019 to May/June 2020).
While much has been written about the immediate pandemic-related challenges, it’s important to apply the lessons learned as many begin rolling out a return to work strategies. With this in mind, the report covers six specific lessons that have emerged from the data gathered from COVID-19 experiences. The lessons highlight particular changes in mindset, attitude, direction, and behavior that will be particularly important.
