We\u2019ve personalised our digital experience on the devices we\u2019re constantly carrying, and this level of enablement is what we seek in our professional lives. We\u2019re used to connecting with people instantly and sharing files easily across multiple devices <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in effect, we\u2019ve been training for <a href=\"\/gb\/en\/blog\/remote-work-resources\/\">remote work<\/a> for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-responsive-embed\"><iframe title=\"Employees&#039; expectations of access to technology\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LNDcpVdHJC8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><i style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px; display: block; margin-top: -20px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunny Dhami, Senior Director of <a href=\"\/gb\/en\/blog\/what-is-product-marketing-how-to-implement-it-the-definitive-guide\/\">Product Marketing<\/a> for RingCentral, describes current employees\u2019 expectations regarding technology.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From an IT point of view, we know the infrastructure is there and the overlying technology is available, it just requires some application <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and perhaps some opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve heard from IT leaders about how younger, technologically-enabled generations enter the workforce with expectations of flexibility around how and where work is carried out. Confining someone to a desk and putting them on the clock are outdated measures or guarantors of productivity. In the fight for talent, businesses have been using the concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.sanebox.com\/2020\/03\/19\/26-essential-tips-for-working-from-home\/\">remote working<\/a> as an element in their employer value proposition, aware of its potency as a signal of \u2018forward thinking\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the advent of flexible working has passed, and going mobile is no longer forward thinking. Businesses without this capability have already been losing out. Could our current situation level the playing field? That\u2019s left to be seen, but our reality is that many employers <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and their employees <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are now getting a taste of remote working. It will be a difficult transition for some, while for others it will clear the way for their productivity to finally take off. Whatever happens, I\u2019m certain we\u2019ll never fully go back to the way we worked before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For help on adapting to remote working, browse the <\/span><a href=\"\/gb\/en\/blog\/remote-work-resources\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free resources provided<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> right here on our blog.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The application of remote working was already growing thanks to its clear business benefits.
