In the wake of the COVID pandemic, the future of work discussion has become a much discussed topic among employees, researchers, students and teachers, etc in the hopes of transforming the way we collaborate to make it secure and convenient while connecting remotely. Many businesses are now focusing on this more heavily, as they look to digitally transform themselves for the better. However, the question arises, who in the business is responsible for the future of work? 

For work to evolve, a solid plan of action needs to be allocated across the organisation to ensure success for the future. All departments: HR, Finance, IT, Management and Operations have a role to play to help their organisation embrace the new future of work. 

The way businesses operate is in a constant state of change. The adoption of hybrid work models has presented businesses with new opportunities as well as challenges. A study by ELMO software found that flexibility or remote working ranks second for employee priorities when searching for a new employer. Moreover, in 2023, workplaces are predicted to be more diverse, distributed and virtual than ever before.  Top management and the people management teams like HR need to ensure it understands its staff’s working priorities and have clear communication with employees on what work models the office will adopt. 

A lean into digital transformation cannot happen only through hybrid work models. Businesses also need to consider employing different innovative solutions that can future proof their operations & processes. A major challenge that corporations are expected to face in 2023 is the beginning of security ramifications of a widely distributed workforce connecting to corporate networks. Business functions that handle sensitive and confidential information such as HR, finance and operations have to take extra precautions against data breaches, security risks and ensure that an audit trail is available for forensic evidence. This way, they can uphold the highest standards of security and keep their most sensitive documents watertight.
