Why you need robust administrative controls to deliver security and compliance in mobile messaging
The business landscape today includes a highly mobile workforce. A survey by Pew Research found that about a third (35 percent) of workers with jobs that can be done remotely are working from home all of the time and 41 percent of those with jobs that can be done remotely are working a hybrid schedule.
In the UK, according to the latest Chartered Institute of Personal Development (CIPD) report on flexible-hybrid working practices, 83 percent of organizations have a hybrid working approach in place. 45 percent of organizations have a formal policy, while 24 percent take an informal approach, and 13 percent are developing policies through learning and trialing. Overall, the number of people working from home some of the time has grown from 17 percent to 25 percent since the pandemic’s start, meaning a quarter of Brits are hybrid workers. Additionally, the UK Government’s proposal to make the right to request flexible working from day one, rather than after 26 weeks of employment, is likely to further escalate the amount of flexible working requests and likewise the number of employees working remotely.
