Many people prefer to work remotely because they don’t have to commute and enjoy more flexibility. It gives them the opportunity to tailor their schedules to fit their lifestyles and find a better work/life balance. According to FlexJobs, 60% of women and 52% of men will quit their jobs if their employers do not offer remote work.

Management problems are not uncommon in large, multileveled organizations. In many cases, the root of the issue lies in the communication channels between employees, stakeholders, and management, which causes information to be lost or distorted.

As we shift into a new world of hybrid work another glaring trend is emerging: the workforce is more divided than ever. Today, people work in silos, ideas get lost in separate tools, and isolated teams lead to disengagement, work waste, and slowed progress. Among employees who self-identify as disengaged, 75% are actively looking for new work. The reality is, we have a digital economy, which requires a new way of working that is digital first, multi-team and multi-location.

Setting up your own servers requires a lot of up-front investment and ongoing maintenance. That’s why most technology companies today use an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider for their compute needs.

Simpplr is introducing an innovative Live EX platform feature to transition into a new era of Internal Communications. The new reality is that the world of internal communications is evolving.
