It’s been a year. 2020 truly showed us the value of living in a connected world, but it was still a case of sink or swim.

One of the biggest adjustments for a lot of companies was having most employees working from home and moving to digital was the only way that we could survive.

Luckily for some of us, even in the deepest, darkest lock-down we could keep doing business by using the internet to attend virtual meetings, collaborate on tasks and produce quality work, all while working from home.

According to Forbes, the world witnessed a historic shift in the 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. While 2020 may be considered the year of remote work, it is just the beginning as we see the trend continuing in 2021.

The percentage of workers permanently working from home is expected to double in this year, according to a survey from Enterprise Technology Research (ETR). ETR surveyed about 1,200 chief information officers from around the world across different industries.

“The productivity metric is proving that remote work is working,” said Erik Bradley, chief engagement strategist at ETR. “We all thought that there would be some increase in permanent remote work, but we didn’t expect that to double from pre-pandemic levels.”

It’s a new era and if you want to stay a market leader, then it’s time to adapt now. In order to execute remote working successfully, it’s vital to partner with a trustworthy ISP that offers a comprehensive bundle of tools that your business needs to thrive in remote working conditions.
