Why are more South African businesses not considering this during our economic downturn?

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

It amazes me, given what we know about the economy, that more executive teams are not looking at trading in their physical offices for offices in the cloud.

Having a well designed digital workplace enables you to create a situation where your teams can literally work from anywhere – no office required. Besides the substantial cost savings associated with this as far as rentals etc. go, there are many other benefits worth considering:

1. Happier more productive staff (More details in this report https://lnkd.in/dYahXJQ)
2. Greater opportunity to retain talent (More details in this report https://lnkd.in/dNd7wb2)
3. Being able to draw from a larger location independent talent pool (see https://lnkd.in/dx5yhv3)
4. Radically reducing emissions (https://lnkd.in/dGqCBNB)
