  • The future of work is hybrid, with employees working from anywhere and not necessarily following the traditional employer schedule.
  • Companies need to prioritize employee experience, which is on par with client experience, and provide flexibility, inclusivity, and equality.
  • Technology should support collaboration, consensus, and productivity, with features like audio bubbles, persistent whiteboarding, and language translation.
  • The office environment should be exciting, inclusive, and promote equality, with amenities like coffee shops, game rooms, and social floors.
  • Companies need to recognize the flexibility needs of their employees and provide tools to support remote work, such as video conferencing and remote collaboration tools.
  • Digital transformation is not just about technology, but also about culture and process change, and requires constant innovation and adaptation.
